One of my favorite films of the year and destined to become more than just annual Christmas viewing, ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE drops its first music video from its “killer” soundtrack – “Hollywood Ending”!!
The epitome of holiday musical-comedy-horror mash-ups, if this is how the world is going to end, with song and dance and zombies, then I say, WHOO HOO!!!
Fans of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and its Emmy nominated episode – “Once More With Feeling” – will feel right at home with the story of only with Anna (Ella Hunt), whose life is dominated by the typical concerns of her youthful peers until the Christmas season in her small British town brings not Santa but an outbreak of the Undead. A zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town, forcing Anna and her high school friends to fight, sing, and slash their way to survival with a fast-spreading undead horde in relentless pursuit.
Interscope records releases “Hollywood Ending” – the first song from the official soundtrack to the upcoming Orion Pictures film Anna and The Apocalypse which will be released in theaters this holiday season – today via all digital partners HERE.
ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE is based on the 2010 BAFTA-winning short film Zombie Musical; directed by John McPhail (Where Do We Go From Here); written by Alan McDonald and the late Ryan McHenry (Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal viral series); with original music by Roddy Hart and Tommy Reilly – a film and TV songwriting partnership from Glasgow, Scotland, who have each released several critically acclaimed solo albums.
The cast is scheduled to perform at the 4th annual Elsie Fest on October 7th at SummerStage Central Park in New York City. Elsie Fest is a one-day outdoor music festival that celebrates the stars and songs from the stage and screen.
