Directed by Scott Thomas from a script he wrote with Mark Onspaugh and Sidney Iwanter, and produced by David Shoshan.

Synopsis:

Only a handful of survivors remain… now, the clock is ticking, the pilots are dead, no place to land, fuel is running out, the dead are hungry and they are coming…

‘Plane Dead’ is a special effects-packed sci-fi/horror/action thriller about a routine flight from LA to Paris on which a renegade scientist, on the run from the CIA, has smuggled a secret coffin containing the body of a scientist infected with a deadly genetically-engineered virus.

The 747 jumbo jet collides with two massive thunderstorms at once, which drops it into the eye of an inescapable storm. The non-stop turbulence triggers the release of the infected ‘flesh eating’ scientist from the cargo hold. A life-and-death battle ensues as the virus turns the unsuspecting passengers into ‘the undead’, and the terrified uninfected passengers try to survive the flight they wish they missed.

Now, no government will allow the ‘infected’ 747 jumbo jet to land. Stranded in the air, the passengers have no place to hide from their ravenous tormentors… Flying the deadly skies…”

Here’s the trailer:

Last year we saw Snakes on a Plane, this year it’s zombies on a plane in Plane Dead. This s more up my zombie lovin’ alley. Snakes on a plane? Not so scary. But the undead? Yikes! There’s nowhere to go on a plane. Maybe the cockpit or a tiny little washrooom, but you’d have to fight through zombies and other survivors to hole up in any one of those places. Not fun. I’m not a good flier to begin with. Ugh!

Here’s a few of pictures from the official site (there’s more there). I just had to post these they were too great to pass up:

This film looks like a jet load of zombie goodness. I can’t wait to see it. I don’t see a release date, so I’m emailing them now to get some more information. Hopefully they’ll get back to me and we can follow this one along.

This year is shaping up to be a fun one for zombie lovers.
