Not to curtail artistic ambition or anything, but sometimes it’s good to realize what you are. Take for instance, Dead Rising: Watchtower, the first movie based on the popular Dead Rising video game series. It is a (you’d assume) relatively low budget video game movie, not an awards-season hopeful, and because of that it looks like the cast and crew are taking that as an invitation to have some fun. The first trailer for the movie, which will premiere on Crackle, is out now, and shows a zombie flick high on cheese and laughs — but in a good way! The movie, which stars Jesse Metcalfe, Dennis Haysbert, Virginia Madsen, and Rob Riggle is available to stream March 27.
