I’m a huge fan of the Dead Rising series, so when I heard Capcom and Legendary Pictures were making a Dead Rising movie exclusive for Crackle, I was ready to be wowed…by how bad it was. But now that a trailer has come out, I can at least say this: The writing’s only as bad as the game’s, so it’s better than I expected!
Dead Rising: Watchtower stars Jesse Metcalfe, Meghan Ory, Virginia Madsen, and Dennis Haysbert. Yeah I don’t recognize them either. I’m also reading in the Youtube comments that a dude from Epic Meal Time is the guy laughing with the flamethrower so…okay sure. The real star of this is ex-Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle as Frank West, who pulls off the look perfectly. I’ll probably end up watching his scenes and not much else but hey, this looks like your average zombie flick with some Capcom flair, so I’m not complaining yet.
Dead Rising: Watchtower releases exclusively on Crackle on March 27th.
