Over a year ago we learned of an upcoming film from Matador Pictures called Zafari, which really piqued our interest, thanks to an awesome premise. Now, pre-production has commenced, and we’ve got all the latest for ya today. Read on!

Screen Daily reports that Steve Barker will direct the post-apocalyptic zombie flick, written by Paul Gerstenberger, which is set to shoot on location in the UK and Spain in July 2014.

Following a major zombie outbreak, Zafari takes place in a zombie safari park where people can pay to hunt and shoot the undead. However, when its security is breached, a group of guests find themselves in a fight for survival against the zombies.

Casting will be announced shortly.

Producers are Nigel Thomas and Charlotte Walls of Matador Pictures, Nick Gillott of Captain Starlight and the film is being produced in association with Umedia, who also co-financed with Gloucester Place Films.

Umedia International is handling world sales and the film will make its market debut in Cannes.
