Juliane Block to helm Brit zombie flick ‘Hobbes House’

Zombie Project Ltd has joined forces with producer/director Juliane Block (8 Remains, 3 Lives) on a Brit Indie zombie action thriller, Hobbes House. Starring Mhairi Calvey (Abduct, Eden Grey), Kevin Leslie (Rise & Fall of the Krays), Makenna Guyler (King of Crime) and Waleed Elgadi (A Hologram for a King), the three-week shoot commences February 17th in locations around Bristol, UK.

Synopsis:

When down-on-her-luck Jane Dormant (Mhairi Calvey) learns about the death of her Grandmother, she travels to a remote estate to attend the reading of the will. She’s expecting a life-saving inheritance, but the trouble is, so is Jennifer (Makenna Guyler), her estranged and more successful half-sister, who has arrived with her lover Nigel Thatcher (Kevin Leslie) in tow. But when a storm cuts the estate off from the outside world, the brewing family tensions have to be put to one side when a horde of blood-thirsty zombies invade. And it’s not the money they’re after…

Hobbes House is produced by Juliane Block, Mhairi Calvey, Paul Dudbridge, Wolf-Peter Arand and exec produced by Malcom Winter and Monika Gergelova. Jodie Gibson (Kill Kane, Valley of the Demon), heads up the SFX make-up team. Writer and director Juliane Block said today:

I started my film career in 1999 with Zombie make-up. I’m so thrilled, now, after 20 years to return to my roots, and to shoot an entire feature on British soil, one of the greatest countries for Indie horror films!
