December 15, 2008 / 4448
Dead 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.”
SYNOPSIS
At the center of this politically charged tale is Logan Burnhardt the ego-king of the airwaves, but his unflappable persona is put to the test when a terrorist bio-attack unleashes a plague of flesh-ripping maniacs on Los Angeles. He experiences the horror first-hand as their normally wacked-out callers bombard the station with news of this very real horror spreading around them. How they come to discover the reality of the toxic invasion and ultimately choose to deal with it becomes the focus of “Dead Air,” which is just as much a character study as it is a horror film.
PLOT
A plague in the form of a toxic viral gas is unleashed at major sporting events across the United States and in Los Angeles. The gas turns its victims instantly “into an immediate rage of insanity and violence”. Controversial talk show radio host Logan Burnhardt (Moseley) and his production team are caught up in the middle of the chaos, and only blocks away from the explosion site, they begin to receive reports of rioters in the streets and listeners continue to call in reports of their first hand experiences. In addition to those infected by the virus, the terrorists, lead by Abir (Negahban), responsible for the attacks attempt to make their way to Logan’s studio, killing anyone in the way.

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.

BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO
ALT. POSTER
I have to say this was one of the best movies of 2009. James Cameron has made history in the movie scene. The behind the scenes is the most fascinating film making. This coming from someone that worked in film for about 5 years as a boom operator. I saw this movie three times, once in normal 2 times in 3D. I thought the motion controlled computer animation, was ground braking.
