First Details on Military Zombedy Range 15

We got a LOT of emails at Dread Central from filmmakers claiming, “This movie is going to be different” or “This movie is a game changer,” but when we heard from the folks behind Range 15, a post-appocolyptic zombie comedy that was put together by a group of US military and combat veterans, well, of course we had to check it out!
Producer Jarred Taylor told us, “[Range 15] will rival Super Troopers and Zombieland. Myself [from Article 15] and my colleagues at Ranger Up own the world’s two largest military lifestyle brands, and earlier this year we decided to join forces and make the military movie Hollywood would only screw up. We set a goal of $325K on Indiegogo and obtained that goal in just over 72 hours. We have since set a stretch goal to $500K and are sitting pretty with [a few weeks] left to go. As it sits we are the 6th most funded film on Indiegogo.”
That’s all well and good, but what about the talent assembled for the project? The director is Ross Patterson (FDR: American Badass and Helen Keller vs. Nightwolves), and the script is by Patterson, Billy Jay, and Nick Palmisciano. The cast includes Taylor, Palmisciano, Marcus Luttrell (if their goal is met), Mat Best, Tim Kennedy, Jack Mandaville, Dakota Meyer, Evan Hafer, Tom Amenta, Vincent Vargas, and Leroy Petry.
Here are some additional details from the Range 15 Indiegogo campaign:
Welcome to the machine.
Range 15 was spawned from the veterans that make up Ranger Up and Article 15, the two largest military lifestyle brands on the planet. For years, we’ve given you badass clothing and videos, but last October, while sitting in a bar and drinking an inappropriate amount of alcohol, we decided to join forces and make the greatest movie ever. Then we sobered up and realized we didn’t really know how to make a movie. Then we got drunk again and realized that God hates a coward.
Knowing we needed a director good enough to make our vision a reality and crazy enough to read our script and not call the authorities, we broke into Ross Patterson’s house in the middle of the night and flashbanged his bedroom. When the smoke cleared, he was in sitting in his smoking jacket wearing an eye patch, pipe in hand. “I’ll make your movie,” he said. “But first, you’ll have to dance for me.” We promised we’d never talk about what happened next.
We’re making the military movie you’ve always wanted someone to make: relentless ball busting, guns, explosions, hot chicks, booze, and more guns. We will not dramatically salute each other. We will kill lots of shit, all while using our weapons correctly. Again, there will be hot chicks. Mat will probably sleep with all of them. And I mean that both in the movie and in real life. Seriously, that guy has a real problem. Tim Kennedy may or may not be oiled up in a loin cloth.
Bottom Line: The more we raise, the more badass your movie becomes.
- Bigger explosions.
- Crazy special effects.
- Non-stop Act of Valor style knee slide shooting.
- Forget about 3. That’s not happening.
- Hot chicks.
- Even bigger explosions.
- More badass celebrity cameos.
- Viper semen.
- Did we mention hot chicks?
