Based on the UK novel of the same name (AUTUMN) written by David Moody.
In less than twenty-four hours a vicious and virulent disease destroys virtually all of the population. Billions are killed. Thousands die every second. There are no symptoms and no warnings. Within moments of infection each victim suffers a violent and agonizing death. Only a handful of survivors remain. By the end of the first day those survivors wish they were dead. Then the disease strikes again, and all hell breaks loose.We are currently in production in and around the Toronto area. It stars Dexter Fletcher (LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, LAYER CAKE), and David Carradine (KILL BILL, DEATH RACE 2000, KUNG FU-The Legend Continues)(Just signed on!!), plus more!
Special effects are overlooked by Randy Daudlin (DAWN OF THE DEAD) who also directed the film BOTTOM FEEDER (2006).
The film is being directed and produced by Steve Rumbelow through Renegade Motion Pictures (Steven Rumbelow and Frank Capra Jr.)...
I will update you more on this as production goes along. We just finished shooting a major zombie scene just north of Hamilton which turned out very well. David Carradine will be in town to shoot his scenes just after X-Mas into the new year!
The
Making of Autumn Blog is rarely updated due to time spend on set. There is a makeshift teaser trailer there, but it's just an experiment. A full teaser will be done near the end of production..
