We talked previously about this bizarre sounding independent Zombie period piece before on the ZRC blog; now more information is available:

Sir Ian will play the role of the narrator in The Curse Of The Buxom Strumpet, an 18th-century zombie romp.

The film was developed from a short made last year — E’gad Zombies!

Like its predecessor, The Curse Of The Buxom Strumpet will be set in the sleepy town of Upper Trollop, which suffers a ghoulish invasion.

And other famous names already attached to the project include Dame Judi Dench, Gillian Anderson and Mark Williams.

I’m already not liking two things about this production; the term ‘ghoulish invasion’ and the star power attached to depict it.

Don’t Zombies have it bad enough when Woody Harrelson’s on their case? Did they really need Dame Judi Dench AND Sir Ian McKellen AND Gillian Anderson making them out to be unfeeling monsters?

Our work is clearly going to be cut out for us on this one.
