Before any of you get your panties in a bunch, this is not a remake or converted 3D version of the Lucio Fulci classic film Zombie, but an entirely new offering. Italian director Gianluca Petrazzi, using the pseudonym John Rock shot Zombie 3D in Rome.
According to the Italian website Splatter Container, Petrazzi is a stunt coordinator and weapons specialist who has worked on such films as The Italian Job, Quantum of Solace, Twilight: New Moon, and is currently branching out into directing. Zombie 3D is not a film made for the Italian audience, but rather for the Canadian market. If the film does well in Canada, then it would be distributed in the United States, then Italy and the rest of the world.
Plot Synopsis:
