Z*Con (First Look)

Z*Con (First Look)

Z*Con is like "Goonies" meets "Shaun of the Dead" set in a Comic Con.

Z*Con is about 16 year old Matt Moore, and his three friends, who attend a local comic convention to get interviews for their podcast, but end up stuck in the middle of a Zombie Outbreak at the con. One convention, four teens, thousands of zombies... what could go wrong?

For Geeks, By Geeks, To Geeks.........Take My Money Now Please

Or at least that what we should be saying about the new movie Z*Con. The latest film by Writer/Director Michael C. Dougherty. If the indiegogo teaser and concept short are any indication this is a nerds nivaria, what more could we want we got zombies,cosplay, and comedy. The only way this could get any better if it had a FPS tie in on the Xbox One. Ok enough of my love fest for the concept lets have a look at the movie. 

When I'm doing these first looks at films one of the things i look at is how the behind the scenes shots look, do they look like they are having fun and all on the same page, and with this crew it looks good, they really looked like they are having fun which usually transfers well to the big

screen. Anchored by Dougherty's directing and effects and makeup by Vince Collura It looks like it's really coming together nicely. The story revolves around a zombie virus outbreak at a ComicCon. and the few remain  survivors  trapped  inside are the four teen  leads who run their own nerd/geek podcast supplying the only communication from inside the quarantined event and hilarity and zombie killing ensues. The second phase crowdfunding is currently going on at indiegogo right now with some great perks and info on the project. And are you ready for this one, strange but true fact...they want to make the movie not make money thats right you saw that right..let it sink in....They are donating any profit from the move, so you not only get cool swag but get help the American Red Cross and  Kids Need To Read.  So as I shake my magic eight ball it say's "chances are good" for a fun movie you could enjoy.
