Evie (Morjana Alaoui) has started a new life England, to escape her past. She finds herself caring for John (Mel Raido), a former rock star and tetraplegic. When he’s not making her life a complete misery with his insults, he’s still his usual drinking, drug taking partying self.

What is already a complicated situation becomes even worse for Evie when John’s scumbag friend Dougie (Craig Conway), tries to assault her. With all of this going on and all the built up stress, not to mention the lack of support she receives from the agency that hired her, Evie’s past is seemingly coming back to...

It seems The 4th Reich will never die. In Tommy Wirkola's Dead Snow, the undead laid waste to campers and in Steve Barker's Outpost 2: Black Sun, a zombie horde used a magnetic pulse to to continue Nazi domination. Now, Shaun Robert Smith's The 4th Reich will use the undead to harass Sean Bean's ("Game of Thrones") character Seargent Major Gordon. Gordon is part of an Allied team tasked with undoing an SS research facility. They find the horrors of war instead. The 4th Reich is currently at Cannes and fans of historical horror can enjoy this teaser poster from the film. More cast and crew details are below. Director: Shaun Robert Smith.

A while ago, Killer Film chatted with Shaun R. Smith about his upcoming Nazi zombie revival movie, The 4th Reich (here), and in a recent interview he gives us a tiny tidbit about the film.”Things are moving along at an alarming pace now for T4R!!!! We will be announcing some pretty heavy shit in the next couple of weeks.” Hmm, maybe a release date? Also, he commented on the long rumor that the film will go 3D. “We’re still undecided.”

Nazis have made great movie villains since the days of Fritz Lang but how about Nazi zombies? One of the horror film projects FilmShaft got excited about last year was Shaun R. Smith’s horror flick The 4th Reich. The WW2-set flick attracted a great cast in the form of Jason Flemying, Tom Savini, Doug Bradley and even Neil Marshall’s missus Axelle Carolyn.
As with most movies they tend to be labours of love and getting them from brain to script to screen is a long, hard road. We interviewed Smith last year to discuss the project but since then it looks as if pre-production issues have stopped the film from going forth.
So we asked Smith for an update on his project and he kindly told us this:

More Nazi zombies!!!
Ok, admittedly, we're about 6 weeks late to this interview, but we've been trying to find out some information on writer/director Shaun Robert Smith's upcoming Nazi zombie flick The 4th Reich since we first heard about it. Thanks to FilmShaft for getting the scoop. Here's how Smith got started on the movie.
I did a student film in 1998 which was a thirty-five minute story set in Vietnam and it was about disease experiments. I was watching a lot of (films) Hamburger Hill, Apocalypse Now and lots of zombie films and wanted to match the two together. The story evolved over 12 years and because I knew more about the Second World War, I decided to set the story then.
And how did Smith land Tom Savini and Jason Flemyng to his cast?
Well there’s bit of a back story to that. During my time at college,...

Once in a while a movie comes along that makes you sit up and take notice. The 4th Reich has developed, much like a marauding disease, into something of a passion for Filmshaft. It’s good to give coverage and support to films that aren’t the usual run-of-the-mill productions or big blockbusters with ant-sized brains.
The 4th Reich promises zombies, the legendary Tom Savini, WW2-set adventure, Josef Mengele a.k.a The Angel of Death, Nazis, Nazi zombies and an excellent band of movie brothers-in-arms such as Jason Flemyng, Sean Pertwee, Martin Compston and Doug Bradley. Frankly, genre cinema doesn’t get any damn cooler.
We really must credit our ace team member, Alex Wagner, for raving about the film since he first got whiff of it like a zombie smells fresh meat. His enthusiasm was…dare I say it…infectious. Okay, I said it!

Also joining him will be young Scottish actor Martin Compston, who played alongside Shia Labeouf and Robert Downey, Jr., in 2006's A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints and just recently The Disappearance of Alice Creed and The Damned United. He will be playing Private Newman.

Shaun Robert Smith's Nazi zombie flim The 4th Reich recently added Hellraiser actor Doug Bradley to a cast that already included horror stalwarts Tom Savini, Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers) and Simon Bradford. The film just used their Twitter page to announce their latest addition.
Breaking News: Jason Flemyng Joins The Cast Of The 4th Reich
For those unaware of Flemyng, he was in Snatch, Mirrors, Layer Cake, and he's in the upcoming Clash of the Titans. He's also in The 4th Reich.
Smith is really doing a good job with the cast. Flemyng may not be the most recognizable face in Hollywood, but he's a pretty legit actor for a genre piece. The cast alone ought to make the movie good, so Smith's only got to make the rest worth watching.
We were already excited about this film, but it's on now.

It’s no secret that here at Filmshaft we have much love for a certain upcoming little film called The 4th Reich. Zombies, Nazi’s, Sean Pertwee and Tom Savini are all elements that when combined should most definitely result in explosive cinema.

As if things couldn’t get more exciting for the upcoming film a massive bombshell of an announcement has been released. It has been confirmed that none other than Doug Bradley will be appearing in the film as SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Gast. Horror fans rejoice, as this is an actor responsible for one of the most iconic performances in modern cinema history.

The Nazi zombie genre is not as huge as some may think, only 5 films populate this subgenre: Shockwaves, Zombie Lake, Oasis of the Zombies, Night of the Zombies, and, most recently, Dead Snow. Some may argue for Outpost as well, but that's about it. Shaun Robert Smith plans to add another to the pantheon.
The young British director is heading into production on The 4th Reich, which starts shooting in 3-D in mid-April. The film starts Tom Savini, Sean Pertwee (Dog Soldiers), and Craig Conway (Doomsday, the upcoming Devil's Playground). Here's the synopsis:

Film blogs and websites get so inundated with news of big Hollywood productions — and a few smaller ones that get more of the limelight — that it’s easy to overlook smaller films. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to interview up-and-coming UK director Shaun Robert Smith about his upcoming film The 4th Reich (if you do a Google search for his name and interview, I’m sure it will come up).
Who could ignore a film with a synopsis like this?

Time really does fly doesn’t it? It seems like only yesterday I received the very first snippets of information about an upcoming Zombie film entitled The 4th Reich. Directed by Shaun Robert Smith, starring the always-brilliant Sean Pertwee and featuring legendary effects artist Tom Savini in a supporting role, The 4th Reich has quickly gathered a solid fan base over the net. Back in September we reported on the project as it was in its very early stages and now we have gotten word that shooting will begin in mid April.
Pre-production is now in full swing and everything in place to start shooting in the Ukraine this is most definitely something that I am hugely anticipating. Filmshaft is always proud to stand alongside new and exciting cinema. To celebrate The 4th Reich’s’ imminent shooting we have been sent a first look at some artwork and posters for the film.

Robert Morris from Smudge Film Productions UK got in touch today to provide Dread Central with a first look at some really cool conceptual artwork for director Shaun Robert Smith's upcoming The 4th Reich. We definitely like what we see!

As reported previously, Tom Savini, Sean Pertwee, Axelle Carolyn, Simon Bamford, and Craig Conway have all come on board to take part in the mayhem.

Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is one of his best books and is simply pure greatness. Now, his masterwork is making its way to the big screen thanks to director John Hillcoat. Hillcoat’s previous film, The Proposition, was obviously inspired by McCarthy’s work so it made plenty of sense when he signed on. He’s now delivered a good and very faithful adaptation that any fan will enjoy. The Road is now in theaters.
One theme that I really enjoy in your films is the idea of what extreme environments do to people. What is it about that idea that appeals to you?
John Hillcoat: Just that it puts people under pressure and I’ve always believed that the essence of drama is conflict — when people are under pressure that creates conflict. I also think that a lot of these worlds are extreme and I think a...

Earlier this year, Fango exposed readers to a short film winning much acclaim in the UK titled The Soldier (you can read about it here). At the time, it was hinted that the movie might spawn a full-length feature, and Fango got word from director Shaun Robert Smith that The 4th Reich is moving ahead, shooting next spring with some pretty big names and exciting prospects.
“This is going to be the mother of all zombie films,” Smith tells Fango; he also passed on the production art seen here. “Not just that, but a heavy historical aspect too; you could say we are working on a war film with zombies. And to add to the joyride, it’ll be in 3-D! In fact, we will be one of the first 3-D films to emerge from the UK ever.”

“…The mother of all zombie films…”
Now that’s a quote I can really sink my teeth into. It turns out the film in question is called The 4th Reich. A British production scheduled to start filming in spring next year. What we have on our hands here believe it or not is a historically accurate war film with zombies.
It turns out that Hitler’s chief scientist, Dr Joseph Mengele is charged with creating an army of invincible soldiers. This army was to known as The 4th Reich. His horrific experiments based in the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Belsen and Birkenau end up creating an evil beyond anybody could have ever imagined.
We follow a small group of soldiers led by the tough Captain Bathurst as they fight their way through wartorn France. As they venture deeper they reach an abandoned research facility where they come face to face with unspeakable evil.

Nazis are back in fashion! Well, in the movies, anyway. For a while it seemed like Second World War movies were history, but there are signs of an upsurge in this sub-genre. And we're not talking Saving Private Ryan or The Thin Red Line here. Filmmakers are suddenly taking the war not quite so seriously again. Currently Inglorious Bastards is getting bums on theatre seats and Tarantino's latest is following in the jackboot steps of Tom Cruise's thriller Valkyrie. Elsewhere on this site, you will find coverage of Iron Sky, a Second World War sci-fi comedy that is on the way from the makers of the Star Wreck series of Star Trek spoofs.

If you like your brains raw, wet and dripping, zombie auteur George Romero's Survival Of The Dead should be right up your alley.
In Survival, the world continues to reel from an outbreak of pesky zombies, while on a lone island, a town digs in to both fight the horrible undead plagues -- and find a cure for their own infected town members.
Needless to say, when a group of military soldiers (led by Alan Van Sprang) turns up thinking the only good zombie is a dead..er zombie, there are going to be lots and lots of problems.
Below is a making of featurette, including some good ol' zombie footage.
And If that doesn't do it for you, what about Nazi Zombies?

Over the last couple of years the Nazi zombie sub-genre has become pretty hot. With director Shaun Robert Smith's The 4th Reich, it looks like it may have just reached its boiling point.
The film is still casting, but already Tom Savini, Sean Pertwee, Axelle Carolyn, Simon Bamford, and Craig Conway have come on board to take part in the mayhem.

Looks like Tarantino isn't the only filmmaker working on grindhouse Nazi war films. Director and horror fanatic Shaun Robert Smith is in development on his next feature, The Fourth Reich, a terrifying adventure built on the Nazi human experiments during the war. Shaun's runaway success of The Soldier, his 2007 award winning short attracted some attention from producers and a multi-million dollar budget. Sean Perwee has been confirmed to star as one of the main protagonists, and special effects legend Tom Savini will make a cameo. He will play a Nazi, alongside Simon Bamford (Butterball in Hellraiser). The young director has surrounded himself with an all star team of horror genre specialists. Included are members of the special effects team of the latest Rambo film and the acclaimed director of photography, Peter Hannan, (Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Children of Men, and Withnail). One of the most anticipated horror films of...

Over the past few years, Nazis seem to be finding their way into more films then ever before, regardless of the genre. Mentions of the regime have turned up in the most unlikely of places; Kate Winslet won the Oscar for her portrayal of a Nazi in The Reader, Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlet Johansson in full dress in The Spirit, Brad Pitt and Eli Roth battling them in Quentin Tarantino’s extremely anticipated Inglorious Basterds, not to mention the Norwegian horror/comedy mash-up Dead Snow. And in a few months, director Shaun R. Smith will be unleashing his feature length Nazi zombie opus The 4th Reich on the world. But before there was the feature, there was the short: The Soldier.
A cross between 28 Days Later and Saving Private Ryan, the short was created in conjunction with the 2007 2 Days Later Short Film Competition, and in the end scooped up a number of prizes.
