Hey, fang fans! Missing your vampires? Well then, this should get your motors running!
Variety is reporting that U.S. sales and production house Voltage Pictures has picked up international sales rights to six-part horror series “Age of the Living Dead.”
Nicola Posenor (Mythica, “Life Bites”) stars alongside David Meadows (Captain Phillips, Imperium) and Estella Warren (Planet of the Apes, Beauty and Beast) in the saga of a country consumed by an apocalyptic plague of vampirism and war.
The company will launch the film at Hong Kong FilMart this week and take it next month to MIP-TV in Cannes. Voltage SVP of international sales Alexandra Cocean heads the sales effort.
The story involves humans providing vampires on the opposite coast with a compulsory, weekly blood donation. Eventually the humans manage to re-arm and plan a nuclear strike on the vampires as a final strategy to end the war.
The series is produced by showrunners Simon Phillips and Paul Tanter, who also directs (The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Hooligan) at Age of the Living Dead Productions. The pair are industry leaders in U.K. genre productions, having produced 40 films and TV shows between them for companies including Lionsgate, E1, Momentum, Studio Canal, and Universal.
