For a brief moment i thought that the whole thing with the “Dead Rising: Watchtower” movie, was a April fools kind of thing. As it´s been quite a while since Capcom released “Dead Rising 3” to Xbox One and PC.

But hey, better late than never right? I´m somewhat sceptical about the movie though. As “Dead Rising: Watchtower” stars people who i have never heard about before.

I can´t say that i´ve heard about the director (Zach Lipovsky, Leprechaun: Origins, Tasmanian Devils ) or writer (Tim Carter, Mortal Kombat: Legacy, Dead Rising, Sleeping Dogs) for “Watchtower” either.

So it feels like the movie is a real gamble. But then again, “Dead Rising: Watchtower” can´t possible be worse than Uwe Boll´s “House of the Dead” i guess.

But watch the trailer and judge for yourselves 😉
