The Last Stand aka Zombie Apocalypse Shows Ving Rhames Against the Rotting Hordes

The Asylum is currently producing an apocalyptic world of zombies with actors Ving Rhames (Dawn of the Dead), Taryn Manning (The Speed of Thought) and Gary Weeks (Deadland). This latest from this mockbuster production company is called The Last Stand or simply Zombie Apocalypse. Fans of the post-apocalyptic zombie thriller can have a look at several photos for this feature below, which shows actor Ving Rhames golfing with zombies and other photos show the zombie make-up effects. This title is slated for a Fall release on DVD.

The Asylum is notorious for creating lower budgeted features based closely on upcoming blockbusters. For instance, they created Battle of Los Angeles to release close to the multi-million dollar feature
Battle: Los Angeles. They created Transmorphers to satirize or capitalize on the success of Transformers. Now, they seem poised to strike at the looming success of World War Z, starring Brad Pitt. Or, The Asylum might be trying something new, with a high production entry into the zombie genre. Right now, it is too early to tell.

The synopsis for The Last Stand:

"Months after a zombie plague has wiped out 90 percent of the American population, a small group of survivors fight their way cross-country to a rumored refuge on the island of Catalina" (IMDB).

Release Date: Fall, 2011 (DVD).

Director: Nick Lyon.

Producers: Paul Bales, Mary E. Brown, David Michael Latt and David Rimawi.

Cast: Ving Rhames, Taryn Manning, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Johnny Pacar, Gerald Webb and Eddie Steeples.
