An upcoming movie will use the effects of fracking as the catalyst for a plague-infected zombie apocalypse. Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard tells the story of “a young group of militia soldiers [that] are all that stands between a coming dead horde and their rural town.”
“It’s a zombie, post-apocalyptic movie about fracking,” Mischa Barton, one of the film’s stars, told HuffPost Live in an interview last week. “[It’s about] the effects of fracking where we live in a post-apocalyptic world where there were zombies created through something in the fracking sites.”
According to the movie’s website, the zombies “shamble the landscape looking to spread their infection in a grisly, horrific way” while Barton’s character tries to “search for a reason behind the plague.”
Along with Barton, the film will star Billy Zane, Dee Wallace, and Gabrielle Stone. Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard is set to come out in 2014.
