As reported last month, Guy Pigden’s first
full length feature I Survived A Zombie Holocaust
is released this month simultaneously on DVD
and at cinemas.
And the filmmaker is already looking forward
to the release of his next film Older, which he
describes as a comedy drama about sex, love
and relationships. “It’s actually a romantic drama
so it’s very, very different!” Pigden told STACK.
“It’s more of a love story and we shot it using
crowd-funding and some of our own money.
I’m editing it at the moment but hopefully it will
be debuting in festivals at the end of the year.”
However, never fear, he is not giving up on the
horror genre. “I would love to do a sequel to I
Survived A Zombie Holocaust,” he says.
“I have got a great idea for it and I know everyone
would be very eager to get back and reprise their
roles. But I also have another couple of genre
films that we are looking at lining up to see if we
can make sometime next year.”

WIGMORE TO DROP
NEW ALBUM IN JUNE
MEDIEVAL ANARCHY

New series from Sons Of Anarchy creator is set in 14th Century England.
Kiwi expat GinWigmore is readying the
release of her highly anticipated third LP,
which is due in-store on June 29.
Blood To Bone was recorded primarily in
her home base of Los Angeles with various
songwriters including Joakim Åhlund from
Swedish band Caesars and producer Stuart
Crichton, who has written for the likes of Delta
Goodrem. The first single, New Rush , was co-
written with Alt J producer Charlie Andrews.
According to Wigmore, it’s an album of many
firsts for her: as well as co-producing, she also
plays piano and even stretches her trademark
gravelly voice into a falsetto.
“The whole idea for this album was to write
songs and rhythms that pushed far beyond what
I had ever tried before,” she adds. “I spent
many hours, days and months listening to a wide
variety of music including Portishead, Mos Def,
Steely Dan and Alt-J. I was deeply interested in
finding that groove and what it was about their
songs that moved people on a cathartic level.”
ROMANTIC DRAMA NEXT FOR ZOMBIE DIRECTOR
Sons Of Anarchy
I Survived A Zombie Holocaust
Kurt Sutter
S hooting began last month in Wales
on The Bastard Executioner,
which is set during the reign of
King Edward I and tells the story of a
warrior knight weary of war who is
forced to pick up his sword again.
The series marks a complete
change of pace for Kurt Sutter, who
wrapped up his long-running biker
series Sons Of Anarchy last year;
the penultimate sixth
season of the latter
show is out this
month on DVD
and Blu-ray.
The Bastard
Executioner
features a
number of
Anarchy alumni,
including lethal
gang matriarch
Katey Sagal, who will play the mystical Annora
of the Alders, and Sutter himself who will play
her guardian The Dark Mute.
Australian actor Lee Jones will
take the lead role of Wilkin Brattle,
once one of King Edward I’s most
trusted warriors but who wants to
follow a more peaceful path.
Other familiar faces in the cast
include Stephen Moyer (True Blood),
Matthew Rhys (T he Americans)
and Sam Spruell (Snow White
and the Huntsman ).
No word on screening dates
here, but given the popularity
of Sons Of Anarchy, it is sure
to be picked up by one of
the local networks.
