dead_airDead Air is an upcoming 2008 horror/sci-fi film. Currently filming, Dead Air focuses on a radio station that warns its listeners after an explosion unleashes “zombies” into Los Angeles. Writer Kenny Yakkel explains that the zombies are not actual zombies, “It’s like a PCP zombie movie, that’s my take on it ’cause they’re not really dead.”

Production

Dead Air began filming in March, 2007 on location in Los Angeles and production wrapped on the film in late April 2007.It has been described as 28 Days Later meets Talk Radio, “but this is less about the flesheating-zombie thing and more about the paranoia following 9/11.” It will bring together Bill Moseley and Patricia Tallman as Lucy, Moseley’s character’s wife; the two had previously worked together on Tom Savini’s remake of Night of the Living Dead. The film also marks Tallman’s return to the genre, which the actress claims is her first work of substance since the end of her run on TV’s Babylon 5. Though originally slated for a Winter 2007 theatrical release, Dead Air, according to IMDB, will be a winter 2008 release.
