Former MMA star Brandon Vera’s turn toward the film front has since made headway in the West with Day Zero, the newest Filipino zombie action feature from director Joey De Guzman. The official U.S. trailer is out marking a reunion for Vera and the Planos and Taiwan-based firm since rolling out the welcome for his co-starring role in Erik Matti’s Anne Curtis starrer, BuyBust.
A former elite soldier is released from jail only to discover that the outside world has been taken over by a dangerous virus. Chased by hordes of the undead, he fights tooth and nail in a desperate attempt to reach his estranged family.
Also starring are Pepe Herrera, MJ Lastimosa, Joey Marquez, and Ricci Rivero. The film will arrive on Digital platforms beginning May 23 and you can read my review from last year’s TADFF screening by clicking here.
