Ah, scouting. Back in our younger days, it was all about Bob-A-Jobbing and trying not to curse the universe for sending all the rain every time we went camping. Now, however, it appears to be more about staying alive when zombies run amuck. Check out the first poster and a couple of clips from Scout’s Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse.
The movie – which seems to want to bottle a similar blend of silly and terrifying brought to the screen so magnificently by Shaun Of The Dead – finds three scouts, lifelong friends, who must team up with a tough cocktail waitress to try and save their town from a zombie invasion. Can these unlikely heroes make it through the undead apocalypse? They’ll need all their scouting skills, but we’re sure success would lead to the best badge ever created.
Aiming at a largely low-fi approach to the effects to give it that extra kick of nostalgia, the film features Tye Sheridan in the cast alongside Logan Miller, Halston Sage, Sarah Dumont, Patrick Schwarzenegger and David Koechner, with regular **Paranormal Activity **contributor Christopher Landon on writing and directing duty here.
Scout’s Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse is due out this October in the States and should follow shortly after that here.
