“There’s life on other planets. Well… by life, I mean some extraterrestrial water-borne primordial virus from hell.” A spacecraft bringing back water from Mars seems like a cause for celebration at first, but then it crash-lands and unleashes a zombie infection. Now terminal cancer-stricken Josh Hershberg is trying to find a new life in a dead world in Writer/Director Mitch Cohen’s zombie short, Super Zero.
Super Zero takes the tried and true horror genre environment of a zombie apocalypse and throws some interesting new ideas into it, including an intriguing protagonist who was suicidal when the world was healthy, but found a new reason to live when the blood hit the fan, all the while having his own ticking death sentence swirling in his head. Also featured in the short are unique weapons straight out of a James Bond movie or a steampunk novel. We have the...

Not every hero is going to show up at the scene of the crime with six-pack abs flashing a pearly smile in a stunning outfit. Sometimes they're toting McDonald's like the dude who saved the three Cleveland kidnap victims. Throwing away all preconceived notions you have of heroes, meet Super Zero.
This project from writer/director Mitch Cohen is in the very early stages of development, but we loved the idea so much we had to share it with you. It's the story of Josh Hersberg, a 19-year-old engineering genius who is terminally ill with brain cancer. Josh finds himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, but luckily, because of that brain cancer, the zombies don't register him as prey. Talk about finding a silver lining to any cloud.
Read on for more info directly from Cohen as well as a promo video.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks for a remake of Toxic Avenger.
The action star and former governor of California is negotiating for a starring role in Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink's reboot of the 1980s cult favourite, according to Variety.
The original Toxic Avenger starred Mark Torgl as Melvin Ferd III, a 98lb weakling who is transformed into a crime fighting vigilante with superhuman strength (played by Mitch Cohen) after he accidentally falls into a drum of toxic waste.
Produced by Troma Entertainment, the campy action comedy was dubbed a commercial failure upon its release in 1984, but soon gained popularity as a cult classic through midnight screenings.
Elysium Films are attached to produce the remake, and Pink - who will direct - has written the script alongside Daniel C Mitchell.
