Dead Rising: The Movie puts chainsaws on a wheelchair

by Justin McElroy on Jan 26th 2010 9:30AM

Though we still don't have a release date for Dead Rising 2, we have gotten first word of a film (Keiji Inafune's directorial debut) based on the series. The title directly translates to "Death Disease Contamination Dead Rising," which we think you'll agree is a pretty great name for a movie. Bonus: With only its first trailer, this thing is already making us confused and a little headachey.

As near as we can tell, it's a movie about four Asian people fighting zombies in a warehouse with both conventional armaments and a weaponized wheelchair. Oh and some parts are in first person. ... We know, right? This old chestnut again?! If you can stand the tedium, the trailer's right after the break. [Update: Also from Andriasang: The film will apparently be coming to the web (as you may have guessed from the productions values) this year, though 360 owners will be able to watch it early.]

Hey, I remember that warehouse.

WOW

Just wow...who know they can make House of The Dead movie look like a masterpiece.

Raugh Out Roud

i really could have done without the engrish joke. :/

No.

Just, no.

They really managed to make zombie killing tedious! DAMN!

Here's what I'm telling you right now: Dead Rising. Frank West played by George Clooney. He may not look identical but it's very close. He's just got that Clooney wit. Then supporting characters could be more famous stars: Zach Galifinakis, etc. Kind of like Ocean's Eleven without every single star being in the spotlight.

I thought this trailer was crap and then I read your comment. I'm glad you don't work in the movie industry.

You just described what could be THE WORST POSSIBLE REMAKE OF THE BEST ZOMBIE MOVIE EVER...

Shaun of the Dead

Haha, I'm going to guess your favorite movies.

The Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather I and II
Pulp Fiction
The Dark Knight
Star Wars
Fight Club
Lord of the Rings

aka IMDb Top 250.

That wheel chair reminds me of The Running Man.

Yep me too, that film was awesome.

If they don't heal themselves with orange juice, I'm not going to see it...

Read the credits. :o It's fake; it's a commercial for Dead Rising 2.

I wonder where you read this.

1:31 The credits are very short, too short for a feature length movie, more than likely listing some people involved in the making of the trailer. Plus, the movie title listed there is different than what's said earlier.

Okay, so if Splinter Cell Conviction is "Badass: The Game", then this is "Badass: The Movie"?

Seems interesting, but for some reason I have a hard time getting into movies with Asian people in places like China. Last one I saw that reeled me in was Push, and while I liked it, it seemed a little off-beat at times as far as characters and acting went.

I call racism on this comment!

Well either that, or you know... you just can't get into them.

But I liked Push! It's just that sometimes the acting doesn't quite click with me. I mean someone like Jackie Chan or Jet Li are absolutely fine. It's just when it's got some typical-looking character with all these odd dialog choices and strange camera angles...

This raises a good question.

If a paraplegic is turned into a zombie, does he regain the use of his legs? Zombies are just reanimated flesh. Or would he be the mostly useless zombie of them all, like a venus fly trap of the undead?

Guess you haven't seen Dawn of the Dead (remake).. the legless zombie in that one could swoop down on you from the ceiling pipes, with incredible speed, mind you. Now how he managed to get up to the pipes with no legs, ergo lacking the ability to jump; but I assume he had incredible upper body strength.. with the not feeling any pain thing 'n all.
What were we talking about again?

i think in terms of regaining the use of the legs, i would have to say no. but he would be a good crawler. one good rule of thumb that someone said once when it came to the argument of slow vs fast zombies is once you're dead, you're dead. things continue to decompose. becoming a zombie shouldn't make you super human. and i agree.

Doesn't Dead Rising have a movie based on it already? Is it called Dawn of the Dead or something?

I'm going to guess that was meant sarcasm?

to answer your question...no

I think this is the first time I fell asleep watching a trailer ... awful.

You could be narcoleptic.

This is something I expected from Michael Bay.

BUT WITH MORE EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What?? At first I thought it was going to be one of those rip-off movies that copy some other movie and have almost the same title, you know, like Transmorphers, but wow Capcom is actually involved.

I WANT TO PUNCH A GOAT RIGHT NOW

the japanese should just stick to zombie GAMES. cause they just don't know how to do a zombie movie justice. anyone see tokyo zombie? just awful.

I highly recommend you watch "Wild Zero".

Or Versus.

I've seen worse.

I think the point of it is to be over the top ridiculous cheeseball gore, like 1970s horror movies, and exactly like Dead Rising. Cheap special effects, bad acting, tons of blood and improbably death devices.

It looks pretty much like the perfect film version of Dead Rising.

I'm not understanding the hate.

Don't bother explaining it. Most of the commenters on Joystiq are dumb babies who can't comprehend anything. They don't 'get' Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff either, so there ya' go.

I don't know about that, but I am wondering why people expect a Dead Rising film to have some sort of Silent Hill (game) atmosphere, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, George Lucas' group on special effects, with an all-star cast and script writers.

It's pretty contrary to the spirit of the game and it's source of inspiration.

Has nobody seen Evil Dead 2?

Haha, I'm going to guess your favorite movies.

The Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather I and II
Pulp Fiction
The Dark Knight
Star Wars
Fight Club
Lord of the Rings

aka IMDb Top 250.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
