Meet the cast of the upcoming queer zombie movie we're already obsessed with
We have never been more excited for a movie than we are now.
Katy O'Brian, Margaret Cho, Cheyenne Jackson, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Nina West, and a whole cast of other queer actors are set to star in Queens of the Dead, a new horror comedy from Tina Romero, the daughter of legendary zombie director George A. Romero.
The movie, which is co-written by Romero and Erin Judge, "pays tribute to the zombies from the elder Romero's classic zombie films with a fresh, contemporary, and queer twist, promising to offer a genre-smashing, glam-gore thrill ride through the zombie apocalypse."
The plot follows "an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies who must put aside their personal dramas and use their unique skills to combat the brain-thirsty undead when a zombie apocalypse breaks out during their drag show in Brooklyn."
The film is stacked with a great, mostly queer cast that we can't wait to see together on screen.
"This is the cast of my wildest dreams. In a movie about survival, you gotta love and root for the survival crew," Romero said in a statement. "Every single person in this ensemble brings such a special and specific flavor -both on and off screen. The result is truly a magic sauce."
