The Return of the Living Dead Universe: Trash’s Revenge has officially started filming in Los Angeles, California. The original 1985 cult classic celebrates it’s 40th anniversary and Dragon Studios has assembling many of the ROTLD originals for this new movie.
A punk rocker rises from the dead, hungry for fame and flesh. She heads to Hollywood, manipulating a filmmaker to document her gruesome “comeback.” Her notoriety and body count grows, leading to a bloody showdown that will decide her fate.
This special first look of production features Gia Rose, Dave Knee, Clifton Taylor, and Juan Lords.
“If someone told me as a teenager I would be in the 40th anniversary eating spider and chucks brains after turning into a zombie I’d figure they were nuts. The only thing I was worried about were my buddies parents coming in tge room during Linnea quiggleys dance on tge gravestones scene.”, says Dave Knee
“I love horror and I love to act. When I heard this movie was happening, I knew I had to be apart of it. I had the best time!”, says Gia Rose.
“Becoming a zombie for a horror film set in the ‘Return of the Living Dead’ universe was an unforgettable experience—covered in prosthetics and fake blood, surrounded by passionate actors and a welcoming crew. It was an honor to be part of the legacy of one of the best ’80s horror films ever made.” says Juan Lords
“As a lifelong fan, being involved in Trash’s Revenge is a childhood dream come true”, says Clifton Taylor
David Mitch Parks is on board as Second Unit Director. He’s known for his work on Static Codes, When it Rains in L.A., and Blackout.
