According to Screen Daily, a musical zom-com called ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE has gone under the lens in and around Glasgow, Scotland. The film, which was penned and set to be directed by 27-year old Ryan McHenry before passing away from cancer in 2015, is now being helmed by John McPhail (WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE). Tying-in further with LA LA LAND, it was Henry who drew notice in 2010 for creating the viral internet hit Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal.
