Topic: Union City.

My script for Union City is finally done and all parts have been cast for this new series I plan to start shooting next weekend.
The story begins in Union City a fictional city in North America which was the first one hit by a mysterious new flu virus.
It is not known where or how this new strain developed and it begins to kill all it infects at a tremendous rate and begins spreading like wildfire across the world.
Everyone killed by the virus soon begin to come to life and begin to attack anything living.
There are pockets of survivors spread out across Union City and when our story we are introduced to Blake Hamilton, Colin
Chambers 2 survivors living outside the city trying to stay alive from the undead and there own inner demons.
As well we are introduced to Buck Bailey a reporter channel 78 who spends his days looking for survivors with the aid of station helicopter Pilot Reggie Greene.
This is going to be one of my most ambitious projects to date and I really hope to nail and capture the feel of the story and what each character is going through.
Here is a quick excerpt from the script.

Colin “What’s eating you Blake?”
Blake “Same thing that eats at me everyday Colin that burning question in the back of my mind why? Why didn’t I get sick but Emily did?”
Colin “You know that isn’t fair to do that to yourself bud. At least you didn’t have to watch Emily come back and then put a bullet in her head.”
Blake “I’m sorry man, but I can’t stand here and lie and say this is getting any easier because it isn’t.”
Colin “Blake if you let it consume you, then it will eat at you and infect you worse then the virus man. You have to let it go.”

Will be updating this post as production moves along.

Not quite actually.
But if anyone does know the original book I am Legend the original book was about Vampires which I think is still superior to the Omega man and I am Legend.
But it did inspire Night of the living dead
Thanks for your reply.

Re: Union City.

Sounds like this will be cool, though, like the others said, can you post some pics?

Re: Union City.

Thanks guys. I am filming one last short Friday and will take set pictures and post them Friday night.

Re: Union City.

Antonio is really good at writing dialogues and screenplays so I'm always excited to check out his videos. I think that the story might sound a little familiar but to be honest which plot resume wouldn't sound familiar to some other movie? It's pretty much been done before one way or another so let's just enjoy this for what it is and give the guy a chance.

Thanks for that Larry. I agree it is tough when you are writing about zombies because there has been so much done about them.
So it is a nice challenge to try and come up with something new.
Can't wait to start filming.
Stay tuned.

Re: Union City.

Finished filming indoor shots then realized that a differnt vehicle would make more sense to use then the one
that I used first.
Going to reshoot that scene tonight.
Then the easy part of filming is done.

Re: Union City.

Just what we need another Zombie series. Are we all out of ideas these days that everything else being posted is about zombies?

As LarryStudios said, Antonio is very creative with scripts, I'm sure it will not be just another cliche series.
