Horror Vet Joel Soisson Has Taken on ‘Condition Dead 3D’
We learned of some pretty incredible news this weekend as Joel Soisson’s Neo Art & Logic will produce Condition Dead 3D, the epic-zombie actioner that will be helmed by Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine 3D) from a screenplay by Dave Davis. You can read all about the project inside.
Moviehole.net‘s Clint Morris (“Complacent”) will produce Condition Dead with Soisson.
Soisson is a veteran producer whose past hits include Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Trick or Treat (the kick ass 80’s film), The Prophecy and Pulse. He previously worked with Lussier on the Dracula films released by Dimension.
Condition Dead 3D – of which a comic spin-off is also in the works – tells of a government-subsidised Zombie-hunting team, led by the indominatble Luther Judge, who find themselves with dual enemies – the dead, and one of their own. The film is apparently more akin to James Cameron’s “Aliens” than a Romero film. This will be the second 3D film for Lussier after this year’s “My Bloody Valentine 3D”.
We’re told the project is “moving along confidently” and that there’ll be ”more news soon.”
Morris and Davis are said to also be working on a horror/western project”.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
