Redcon-1[2] is a 2018 British action horror film, starring Katarina Waters, Mark Strange, and Carlos Gallardo.[3] The film are produced by Kevin Eastman,[4] Carlos Gallardo. Working titles for the film included Zombie Apocalypse[5] and Zombie City.[6] It is Gallardo's second zombie movie. The film is due for release on 28 September, 2018.[7]

Redcon-1 concerns the joint effort of eight military personnel, trying to save a scientist from the clutches of death during a mass zombie outbreak. Unlike traditional zombies from similar franchises, these zombies have retained certain human traits, being able to fight back, and use weapons.[8]

Redcon-1 was the first movie director Chee Keong Cheung had shot in nearly a decade for his Intense Productions company.[9]

Premise

A squad of eight Special Forces soldiers are assigned a suicide mission to rescue a scientist from a city ruled by the undead.[10]

Cast

Production

The film was shot in locations throughout both Scotland (Newtongrange, HM Prison Peterhead, Glasgow, and Ayrshire)[12] and England (Brownsover etc.).[13] Many locals in various cities across the UK answered casting calls to be extras, portraying the infected, the troops, gang members, and various other survivors. English amputee Olivia Story[14] made her film debut as a zombie who removed her prosthetic limbs for a scene, and she appears alongside her father, who introduced her to acting.[15] The film is now in post-production, and will be distributed by Epic Pictures.[16] The film has begun screening across Europe.[17]
