The micro-budget military zombie flick PLATOON OF THE DEAD will arrive on DVD June 16th, and the filmmakers have just dropped Fango a note that the World Premiere has been set for May 29, at the Northern Lights Theatre Pub in Salem, Oregon. Full details and directions can be found on the official production blog, which has continuous updates from pre-production in 2007, all the way up until present day.

"Director of photography and co-producer Joe Sherlock AKA Dr. Squid presents a huge production diary that covers everything from the first day he was approached for the project by lifelong buddy John (THE EVILMAKER) Bowker, through a wild pre-production and typical low-budget production time. Gobs of behind the scenes photos are featured throughout.

Sure, money and time are tight, major casting remains a few days before shooting starts and scheduling is a bit of a nightmare, but that is just the tip of the iceburg for PLATOON OF THE DEAD. Car break downs, extras don't show, and airplanes, tractors and table saws ruin the sound. Think it's bad having some shots rained out? How about dealing with sudden snowfall?! Equipment breaks, props are lost and the pudding...oh, the pudding. Read on and you'll find out how that plays into this b-movie roller coaster."

You can pre-order the film through Amazon.com or Tempe Video's Official Store.
