ZP International Announces New Feature: ‘Bunker of Blood’
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
ZP International Film Production and Distribution announced today that they have gone into production on a new feature film to be released in Fall 2010.
The new film will be titled Bunker of Blood, and will be directed by award-winning film maker George Bonilla.
“We came across this idea while in production for our current feature Santa Claus Versus the Zombies,” said Bonilla. “I was talking with our Production Designer, Mark Rogers, about what a great job he had done constructing the bunker and control room sets. Well, we thought that since the sets were both realistic and incredibly well-built, that instead of striking the set after finishing Santa Claus Versus the Zombies, we could modify what we had and shoot another feature. The idea blossomed from there and grew into Bunker of Blood”
Bunker of Blood, the eleventh film to come out of the Richmond, KY-based film company, takes place in the near future. Negotiations with the Far East have failed, and the unthinkable has happened: all-out nuclear war. With civilization as we know it at an end, the United States President is whisked away to safety in an underground bunker. Along with him is a team of scientists and advisors, as well as an elite fighting force of the best assassins and soldiers in the country. This Presidential Security team is hand-selected to protect and preserve the government in this time of crisis.
With no way in, and no way out, everyone is suspect when murder happens in the bunker. As the killings continue, this last vestige of civilized beings begin to turn on one another to find the killer. Is someone in the bunker fighting for the enemy? Or is something even more sinister and supernatural coming into play?
Confirmed to appear in the film are Billy W. Blackwell, Jeffrey Wayne Smith, Dori Cagle, Tony Armstrong, Claude D. Miles and Steve Bryant. Bonilla promises more cast announcements in the coming weeks with a few big surprises. Producers on the project include Tammy Bonilla, Todd Burrows, David Sowder, and Frank Santoroski.
Bunker of Blood will be shot at ZP International’s studios located in Berea, KY. The powerhouse independent production company is responsible for films such as; Zombie Planet, Dance With a Vampire, Monstrosity, The Kane Chronicles, Hell-ephone and the award-winning feature The Edison Death Machine. In addition to these feature films, ZP International has also produced an instructional video aimed at young film makers, Fighting on Film:Enter the Independent.
Writer / Director George Bonilla was honored as “Kentucky Filmmaker of the Year” in 2008 at the Fright Night Film Fest and was further honored as “Kentucky Filmmaker of the Decade” at the 2010 Darkwoods Convention.
