Cockneys Vs. Zombies

[DJ OD]

Tea Shop & Film Company has released a trailer for its upcoming zombie comedy.
The zombie comedy has been a popular genre since the defining Shaun of the Dead nearly a decade ago, each film with its own gimmick. In Cockneys Vs. Zombies it's ornery seniors. Note that this is the red band trailer, so it's not appropriate for work or children.
I expect lots of jokes involving old-people acting the way one usually expects young people to act, and more than a few gags reliant upon the similarity of the zombie shamble, and the shuffling walk of a senior.
The film is written by James Moran and Lucas Roche. Roche is well known in Britain as a writer of thrillers, including 2004s' Dead Man's Shoes. James Moran is also working on another zombie comedy (zomedy?), this one about a small town attacked by zombies on Christmas Eve, called Silent Night of the Living Dead. That one is still in pre-production.
The official synopsis is very succinct:
A bunch of eastenders fight their way out of a zombie infested London, lead by an unlikely gang of amateur banks robbers and foul-mouthed plucky pensioners.
Cockneys Vs. Zombies, which stars Michelle Ryan, Honor Blackman, and Harry Treadaway, is slated to hit UK theatres on August 31st, 2012. There is no word yet about a US release.

Zombie films have been done to death of late and there's only one thing I hate more than poorly done zombie flicks and that's fucking cock-a-knees.

I'm a true cockney and can confirm we are not all cunts!

But then again I don't walk around talking cockney slang & eating jellied eels all day

I watched "Zombies Vs Strippers" recently. Title ticked both boxes, but film was utter shite.

[DJ OD]

Well I watched this last night, and have to say it wasn't that bad. Better than a few of the recent zombie films.

Far from great, but then is any zombie film?

It was a pretty standard shite zombie film with a few funny moments - the football fans fighting and the zombies being fended off with boxes of cornflakes. Some right faces in it though, especially in the care home.
The many glimpses of Michelle Ryan's cleavage made it for me.

He was in a film I watched the other night - Inbred. About these 4 young offenders and their care workers who go to this farm house in Yorkshire, and all the inbred locals torture and kill them. A bit shit really but pretty gory.
