Poster for Cockneys vs Zombies
●

Cockneys vs Zombies is out on Friday.

The idea is “imagine Sean of the Dead crossed with 28 Days Later”. Zombie films are the genre that just won’t die.

Also note that Cockney has now lost its original connection to real human beings and become a marketing term denoting sweary, gun-wielding-yet-sentimental caricatures.

Having said that, I’m basing all this on the trailer and the early reviews aren’t terrible, so if you like this sort of thing you might like this sort of thing.

Here’s the trailer.
