My favourite sub-sub-genre of all time has got to be the Underwater Nazi Zombie film, so it should come as no surprise that the promo footage for Worst Case Scenario is second only to Ong Bak 2 in repeated viewings at my place. I especially enjoy the one shown below, with the slowly drifting dread just out of reach but steadily closing the gap. Those promos were released in 2006, and zombie fans around the world have been holding out for more ever since. Our wait finally appears to be over, but unfortunately not in a good way. Twitch is reporting that the production is still without proper funding, and that it may never see the light of day. Anyone have a spare 5 million?

With Worst Case Scenario in limbo, director Richard Raaphorstand and his crew are retooling pieces of that movie into a new concept, Army of Frankenstein. While I’m equally excited by that idea, I don’t know what chance a Frankenstein movie has if zombie mayhem isn’t able to attract investors. Could the triumphant return of the Underwater Nazi Zombie phenomenon be over before it even began?
