It’s a mix of horror, WWII-era action and one-liners.
Epic Pictures has announced that DICK DYNAMITE: 1944 will receive limited theatrical release December 6 before hitting VOD December 10. Written and directed by feature first-timer Robbie “Steed” Davidson, it stars “Snars,” Olli Bassi, Adam Harper, Valerie Birss, Marrakesh Burdette, Shaun Davidson, Graham “Scottie” Scott and Dick Valentine, plus cameos from a number of rock stars. The synopsis: “In the dying days of World War II, Dick Dynamite and his ragtag team of Nazi-killing commandos must stop a group of depraved German scientists from turning the population of New York into flesh-eating zombies.”
“As a small-time filmmaker from Scotland,” Davidson says, “having my project showcased on the big screen in Hollywood is a dream I never thought possible! I’m absolutely thrilled to share DICK DYNAMITE with an audience that it truly deserves! This film is more than just a low-budget underground project; it represents the dedication and passion of an entire community that came together to create something special. Collaborating with Epic has been a wonderful experience—I’ve long admired many of their films and it’s an honor for DICK DYNAMITE to be alongside such incredible titles!” “DICK DYNAMITE is a rock-and-roll rollercoaster through World War II,” says Epic’s Yulissa Morales. “Robbie packed it with action, blood, guts and zombies, and you’re going to love it. We can’t wait for audiences to dive into this demented movie.”
