I forgot this was even happening. Dead Rising: Watchtower will premiere on Sony’s Crackle TV, so it’s not a movie movie, which would explain why they didn’t get a cast cast for director Zach Lipovsky (Leprechaun: Origins).
First up is Jesse Metcalfe (Dallas) as Frank West:
Now, I’m not super familiar with Dead Rising, but I gotta say, that looks completely off-base. I guess you gotta get the tweens hooked on Crackle at some point (see what I did there?).
The rest of the cast includes Sideways’ Virginia Madsen, Once Upon a Time‘s Meghan Ory, and Allstate’s Dennis Haysbert. Filming begins this week.
Thanks to The AV Club for the heads up.
