If ever zombies were used as a metaphor this was it. In Thierry Poiraud's Don't Grow Up, a group of teenage delinquents fight to stay young, or suffer a fate of turning into a zombie (ie. a boring slave to the system).
I have to admit, Don't Grow Up looks great. Atmospheric and full of authentic sounding young actors. Will it be the Attack the Block of the zombie genre? Here's hoping.

Don't Grow Up aka No crezcas o morirás is a co-production from Inti Entertainment, Arcadia Motion Pictures and Noodles Production. Filmed on the Canary Islands within Spain, Don't Grow Up began development in 2014. From director Thierry Poiraud (Goal of the Dead) and writer Marie Garel Weiss, the film stars Fergus Riordan, Madeleine Kelly, McKell David and many others. The film's first trailer is hosted here. The trailer begins with a voice-over narration, which this one-time Spanish speaker cannot interpret. However, other characters mention "this place," a radio talks about an "island," while another characters asks: "is he dead?" Later, a character asks "are you okay," in a hall - while an intertitle mentions "the evil." Other intertitles mention "no effect" and "to anybody?" Meanwhile, all hell is breaking loose as an infection spreads amongst the adults. The film is releasing in Spain, this week. However, there are no plans to...

The flick was acquired by Metrodome (U.K.), Core Media Group (Germany), Korea (Line Tree), Hong Kong (Sundream), Turkey (Bir Film), Belgium (Cineart), as well as the Netherlands and Austria. It was previously acquired by Nikkatsu for Japan.
Directed by Benjamin Rocher (The Horde) and Thierry Poiraud, the two-part film centers around a French Olympic football team that visits a small village in Northern France to play a crucial game in the run-up to the World Cup. But as the Apocalypse looms, an epidemic quickly spreads and transforms the players, spectators and inhabitants into strange and enraged creatures.

It's kind of amusing to us that since Adam and Joe of FEARnet's "Holliston" started talking about soccer-themed horror with their "movie" Shinpads, a zombie flick taking place on the field shambles our way. Great minds thinking alike?
According to Twitch, Goal of the Dead is headed our way from directors Benjamin Rocher (The Horde) and Thierry Poiraud (Atomik Circus). Read on for the skinny!
Saturday, the 18th of January, 2012. A quarter of an hour before the match. An hour before the Apocalypse. In a small village in the northeast of France, Caplongue, lays a nuclear power plant, industrialized agriculture and a church lower than its unemployment rate but also a football team, which managed to reach the 1/32nd French Final Cup with a lot of courage and talent. The village is all the more jubilant at the idea of receiving the Paris Olympic, a top league club with famous footballers.

Something we'll all have to accept: Inevitably, everything we know will have some sort of "zombie" spin on it. If you can think of it, there is, or will be, some sort of take on it which involves the undead. With that said, let us introduce you to Goal of the Dead.
And if you can't guess from the title: It's a zombie soccer movie.
That's the teaser art you see to the right. The fellas at Twitch landed the info and say Benjamin Rocher and Thierry Poiraud are going to direct. The former was co-director on the French zombie film The Horde and Poiraud was co-director of Atomik Circus.
The synopsis goes like this...

PARIS -- Victoire Prods. said Wednesday that French pop star-turned-actress Vanessa Paradis will star in Serge Frydman's road movie "Billy and Colette". Paradis will play a woman who is prepared to go to any lengths to have a baby. The film will mark screenwriter Frydman's directorial debut. The budget was not disclosed. The Paris-based production house, which will co-produce the movie, said it has yet to sign a male co-star to play the son of an aging prostitute with whom Paradis journeys through Belgium and Holland -- where the film will be shot starting in January -- in her quest for a child. Frydman has written screenplays for several Patrice Leconte films, including the 1999 hit "The Girl on the Bridge", which also starred Paradis. "Billy and Colette" will be Paradis' second film after a break from acting following the birth of her child with boyfriend Johnny Depp in 1999. She has just finished shooting sci-fi thriller "Atomik Circus: Le Retour de James Bataille," written and directed by brothers Didier and Thierry Poiraud, which will be released next year, her agent said.
