Filming for part of a three-part zombie movie has wrapped up in Whangarei, with the director delighted with how the shooting went and hoping to come back to film more.
Scenes for R: Rage of the Zombies have been filmed around Whakapara, Whananaki North and in Kawakawa in the past two weeks by American director Fred Potts.
Shooting wrapped up on Thursday and Potts said yesterday that he would now spend some time going through the footage and getting it in shape to put before his backers.
The director - who's previous credits include Clear Eyes: Scourge of the Zombies - said the filming had gone very well, with the footage for the first of three movies in the R: Rage of the Zombies trilogy.
"There will be three, two-hour movies. The first is set 20 years after the zombie apocalypse, looking at how the world is now. The second is a prelude, showing how we got to this stage, while the third will be about what happens from now," said Potts, who also wrote the screenplay.
