ZP International would like to put out a call for crew for the new feature ATOMIC GLADIATORS to be filmed this summer.

Interested parties should attend the production meeting on Monday, June 4^th, 2012 at 6:00 pm at the Galaxy Entertainment Center on Amberly Way in Richmond, KY.

We are looking for returning crew as well as new blood. This is your chance to be involved in a Motion Picture. No experience necessary, we will train. This is not a casting call. The casting call will be announced at a later date.

The only requirements are that you possess the ability to follow through on commitments, display professional behavior, and have a have level of work ethic.

The new film centers on a televised fight to the death pitting fighters from around the world against one another in an elimination tournament. The pay-per-view extravaganza is designed as a last ditch effort by the government to pay off foreign debt and save the crumbling economy. Think “Running Man” meets “Hunger Games” meets “Americathon” with a Bonilla twist.

This will be our most ambitious project to date. Principal photography is slated to begin in August with the bulk of the shooting dates to fall on the weekends.  Much of the film will be shot on location in various places in the greater Lexington, KY area.

We hope to see you all of the 4^th, and are looking forward to bring this project to life.

We have been hard at work with story development on this one over the past few months and we are ready to officially move this title from the development phase into pre-production. Production is set to begin this summer.

We have also been hard at work behind the scenes preparing several of our existing titles for Distribution. Following the successful release of SANTA CLAUS VERSUS THE ZOMBIES this past winter, our distributor, R-Squared Films, will be releasing THE ZOMBIE PLANET COLLECTION in early June. In addition, HELL-EPHONE, MONSTROSITY, and BUNKER OF BLOOD will be all released between July and September as part of the EXTREME COLLECTIONS. Look for all of these titles to be available at major retail stores and online outlets.
