Dawn of the Planet of The Zombies and The Giant Killer Plants on Some Serious Acid Trailer

Before you ask, no this isn’t a trailer for a real movie. Not yet, anyway. Knowing Hollywood, someone will throw some money at its Swedish director, Alf Lovvold, to actually make Dawn of the Planet of The Zombies and The Giant Killer Plants on Some Serious Acid. It sounds like an obligatory parody of all the apocalyptic movies where humans are threatened by a terrestrial (as opposed to extra-terrestrial) invasion of some kind. The only thing missing here are apes or some other animal evolved into a species hellbent on wiping us out.

Short films with less of a premise have been picked up for feature remake and/or expansion, so why not this? As high concept as it is, and as CGI-laden as its execution, Dawn of the…Stuff (as it’s called in much of Lovvold’s postings) shows a lot of promise for something plenty entertaining when multiplied in length by 30. I don’t even want characters, just scenes of nameless people running from and being attacked by the two titular types of creatures involving reanimation or heightened animation of carbon-based tissue.

Seriously, how has nobody thought to combine zombies with sentient plants before?

For a bit of background on the man who did think of it, Lovvold is co-founder a 3D effects house in Oslo called Gimpville, which worked on Trollhunter, Kon-Tiki and Headhunters, among other titles that haven’t made their way over here. Dawn of the…Stuff is a personal project that he’s been working on for a while, but I can’t tell if it’s just for fun or with any extra intentions involved. The text of the trailer makes it all out to be for a laugh as movie parody and satire of social media. But it’s also clearly supposed to show the quality of his effects work, too.

Now, which well-established filmmaker will become Lovvold’s Peter Jackson type shepherd as an executive producer of the actual Dawn of the Planet of The Zombies and The Giant Killer Plants on Some Serious Acid?
