09/29/2011 - Zombie Driver HD Coming SoonZOMBIE DRIVERTM HD - TURN
ON THE WIPERS AND HIT THE GAS!
SZCZECIN,
POLAND - SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 - EXOR Studios is proud to announce that Zombie Driver HD is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation
Network and Tegra 2 powered mobile devices.
The PC zombie smashing hit has been vastly expanded, improved and super
polished for the console audience. Zombie Driver HD features a more varied narrative campaign that is twice as long as the
original, adding epic boss fights, demolition missions, new enemies and special vehicles such as a fire truck, bulldozer and
even a tank, as well as many more gameplay enhancements... The gameplay mechanics have received a new round of polish by introducing
an improved camera system, a recharging afterburner that will help you get out of tough spots and a minimap that will guide
you through a labyrinth of zombie filled streets.
In the game's story campaign you find yourself trapped in a city
full of walking corpses without any option to escape, locked in by a military quarantine. Your only way to survive is to use
your driving skills to smash through hordes of zombies and try to save anyone left alive in the city.
If you aren't
into complicated plot lines and corporate conspiracy theories, check out the adrenaline pumping Blood Race mode full of insane
cars, guns and explosions. It includes three distinct game types that will satisfy all racing and reckless driving fans. In
Race events the objective is simple - the first zombie driver past the finish line wins (that is unless he gets ripped to
shreds by his opponents).
Eliminator events are even simpler to grasp - destroy as many opponents as you can before the
time runs out. And last, but not least - Endurance events - there is a bomb on your car and its ticking - smash zombies, demolish
the race track or pass through checkpoints to extend the timer.
Not to mention that the entire Blood Race campaign includes
30 different events...
The game is so packed with content that even that's not all! The third available game mode
is called the Slaughter and it puts the player in a desperate fight against endless zombie waves on specially crafted arenas.
The goal is to survive as long as possible, make huge kill combos and show your friends who is the best zombie driver on the
leaderboards.

09/27/2011 - Dead Island Movie Coming Soon from LionsgateLionsgate Brings Dead
Island to Life on the Big Screen Feature Film Adaptation Of Deep Silver’s Zombie Sensation In Development At The Studio London, UK, September 27, 2011– LIONSGATE® (NYSE:
LGF), a leading global entertainment company, today announced that it has optioned film rights from Deep Silver
to develop a feature inspired by Dead Island, which became a viral media sensation when its haunting, artful trailer
launched in February 2011. The announcement was made by Lionsgate’s co-COO and Motion Picture Group President
Joe Drake.
Dead Island is a global brand first introduced through a teaser trailer
that told the story of a family on vacation at a tropical resort who is besieged by zombies. Told in a stark, non-linear
fashion, the wrenching trailer captured worldwide fan attention and unanimous critical praise upon its debut, receiving over
one million hits in its first 24 hours online, and nearly 10 million views by two days after its debut. Wired Magazine,
College Humor and G4TV all called it the best video game trailer of all time, with G4TV adding “The Dead Island trailer is the best trailer I have ever seen in my life. The best
video game trailer. The best movie trailer. The best anything trailer.” The trailer went on to
win the Golden Lion in Cannes at the International Festival of Creativity, the advertising industry’s highest honor,
and it was featured by Adweek on their annual list of the World's Best Commercials.
The video game Dead
Island was published by Deep Silver for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. It was released in the United States on
September 6th, 2011 and was the number one selling game both in the U.S. and the U.K. upon its local releases.
The game has sold over two million units to date.
The game centers on vacationers whose island paradise becomes
a living hell when a zombie outbreak quickly spreads. Cut off from the rest of the world, the survivors have only the
available materials and the island’s natural “weapons” to protect themselves from the viscous and growing
legions of the undead. In addition to the award-winning trailer and video game, the Dead Island intellectual
property will be simultaneously developed by Deep Silver into forthcoming graphic novels, novels and other extensions.
Like the trailer that will serve as its primary creative inspiration, the film DEAD ISLAND will be an innovation of
the zombie genre because of its focus on human emotion, family ties and non-linear storytelling. Said Drake of the property’s
acquisition, “Like the hundreds of journalists and millions of fans who were so passionate and vocal about the Dead
Island trailer, we too were awestruck.” He continued, “This is exactly the type of property we’re
looking to adapt at Lionsgate – it’s sophisticated, edgy, and a true elevation of a genre that we know and love.
It also has built in brand recognition around the world, and franchise potential.”
The film DEAD ISLAND
is currently in the early development stage with producers attached. Sean Daniel (THE MUMMY, TOMBSTONE, DAZED AND CONFUSED)
will spearhead production through his Sean Daniel Company. A veteran producer with global franchises under his belt,
Daniel is to be joined in producing by Stefan Sonnenfeld, who has been a pioneer in the post production field, using the process
as a platform to create a unique visual brand with directors including J.J Abrams, Michael Bay and Gore Verbinski. Jason
Brown of The Sean Daniel Company and Missy Papageorge for Sonnenfeld’s Sunny Field Productions are executive producing,
with Sarah Perlman of Sunny Field Productions serving as co-producer.
Alli Shearmur, Lionsgate’s President
of Motion Picture Production and Development is overseeing the project at the studio, with Jim Miller, SVP of Production and
Development. Rob McEntegart, Senior EVP of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, negotiated the deal with Deep Silver's
U.S. attorney Ed Labowitz.
