Described by Mike Bartlett as a cross between Night of The Living Dead and The Blair Witch Project, the project had us at hello, and we were really hoping the film would receive a release some time this year.
Well, we've now received another email from Mike Bartlett to let us know that the trailer for the film has now appeared on the official site - www.zombiediaries.com, and pretty damn good it looks too.

He also mentioned something about a premiere in London soon, so keep your fingers crossed, and watch this space for more news as soon as we get it.

Mankind was robbed of the basic essentials of life: electricity, gas, running water. Survivors packed into small groups and found refuge in high-rise buildings and remote areas as the majority of urban land became uninhabitable. With looting and disease, food supplies dwindled and became unreachable in the majority of towns and cities.
Some survivors, not knowing if or when the chaos would end, began documenting their plight in whatever form they could: the written word, photographs and video...
