ZERO PROTOCOL: Rebecca Hall Starring In Zombie Action Horror Filming Later This Year
Anton will launch world sales at the Marche du Film for zombie action horror, Zero Protocol. Rebecca Hall (Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse franchise, Disney’s The BFG, Ethan Cohen’s Holmes & Watson) is set to star in the film from director Debs Paterson (Paramount+’s “Halo,” Disney’s “Willow,” MGM+’s “Domina”).
In Zero Protocol, Hall will play an NYPD commissioner who battles to manage a city-wide zombie outbreak exploding in real time, only to discover that her teenage daughter is trapped in the middle of the red zone.
Paterson is directing from a script by Dan Hall (The Silent Hour), produced by Jonathan Cavendish (Venom: Let There Be Carnage) and Will Tenant (Netflix’s The Ritual) for Imaginarium Productions. Anton’s Sebastien Raybaud and Callum Grant are exec producing as are Andy Serkis and Phil Robertson for Imaginarium, alongside Hall and Paterson, and writer Hall.
Production is set to begin later this year.
“Zero Protocol is an incredibly exciting fusion of technical and emotional filmmaking. I’m so thrilled to be working with Imaginarium’s world class team and the truly extraordinary Rebecca Hall to bring Dan’s gripping script to life,” said Paterson.
“Dan has written an absolutely thrilling and terrifying story and we couldn’t ask for a greater director than Debs to bring together the script’s big set pieces with grounded emotional drama. We are delighted that Rebecca Hall has come on board – I couldn’t think of anyone better to be marshalling us to safety during a zombie apocalypse,” added Tenant.
Hall is repped by Julian Belfrage Associates, WME & Gretchen Rush. Paterson is repped by The Artists Partnership, Entertainment 360, CAA and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark. Dan Hall is repped by The Artists Partnership, Entertainment 360 and Meyer and Downs.
