Shall We Watch a Game? 1:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. today at VanCity Theatre.
Writer/Producer Tim Carter and Director Zach Lipovsky turned a hit video game into “Indiana Jones with Zombies”, a Vancouver-shot feature Dead Rising: Watchtower that streamed on Sony’s Crackle this year  — with a sequel expected in the Spring of 2016. The action/horror flick is about a massive zombie outbreak after  a mandatory government vaccine from  FEZA (Federal Emergency Zombie Authority) fails to stop the infection from spreading.  Who’s left to kill zombies? Jesse Metcalfe (Dallas, Desperate Housewives) — who reportedly did all his own stunts — Meghan Ory (Intelligence, Once Upon a Time) and Dennis Haysbert (Backstrom, 24).
