Oh, yah. You heard right. The man that virtually
started rock n’ roll has taken it upon himself to help rid the world of the
walking dead; and to this I say SWEET!
What I’m talking about is the film BUDDY HOLLY
vs THE LIVING DEAD, which is actually about rocker Holly and a group of
bopping teens who have to fight against the living dead. In actuality it’s about
conformity, fanaticism, idolization and the evil descent of wholesomeness; but I
prefer to simply think about some kooky zombies getting their heads bashed in by
a 55 Fender Stratocaster.
The film will be directed by Justin Cash
Kirkpatrick and contains a bevy of 50’s stereotypes. We’ve
got Bobby, a rebel wrapped in leather and blue jeans, the very definition of
cool. Rosie, she’s Bobby’s girl, tough as nails but sweet as cotton candy.
Jimmy, a closet bookworm just trying to fit in and the new guy in town. And
Peggy Sue, cuter than a pail full of kittens, she’s along for the ride and in
over her head. And of course a young , unknown rocker by the name of
Holly. The group attends a show of Holly’s when on the outskirts of town a group
of corpses re-animate because of government experimentation and have to be
brought to justice by the sexually oppressed teens.
I really love this idea. I’m super excited and
would love to see a slew of horror films containing classic rock icons fighting
numerous monsters. We’ve had Elvis vs a mummy in
BUBBA HO-TEP, now Holly vs some zombies. How about Chuck Berry vs
Frankenstein and Jimmy Hendrix against Godzilla. Seriously! Is someone writing
this down, this is good stuff!
