LIVE FROM THE MOVIE SET: HORROR ROM COM A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE (VIDEO)
So, you are about to get married and are enjoying your bachelor party deep in the Canadian woods and you're bitten by a mosquito. So what...that happens all the time. What if that nasty little insect is carrying the zombie virus and you begin to turn undead. You don't turn FULLy dead, just a "little bit zombie". Factor in an overzealous zombie slayer and a bridezilla who thinks you have cold feet (it's just bad circulation) and you have a romping rom zom com, a romantic zombie comedy. Movie reporter Gary Duquette and his crew travelled 300 kilometers to visit the set of A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE directed by Casey Walker (Good Eats, Prank Patrol, Survive This, My Million Dollar Movie). Gary sat down with the director and also spoke with stars Shawn Roberts (Resident Evil, Diary of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Kristen Hager (Wanted, Evil My Name Is Leslie) about the movie and the importance of the Canadian movie industry.  WATCH HERE / YOUTUBE / CREDITS

Taking a break from shooting his newest movie, Absolute Recollection, which he is filming on Manitoulin Island, Mr. Schwarzenegger arrived by chopper and proceeded to the Spartan Youth Radio studios for a quick interview before signing autographs for students. "Espanola, Ontario is different than Espanola, California but I like it here. The people are nice and I cannot get enough of the natural beauty. If I am ever terminated as governer of the great state of California, I might consider buying some land here," said Mr. Schwarzenegger. Students were thrilled. "This is incredible! I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Espanola? He's, like, my favourite movie star and I was really excited to meet him," said Joss Maguth, a grade 12 student and aspiring actor. Grade 11 student Chad Boursay was expecting more. "He looks totally different up close. I was expecting the Terminator but he's just a normal guy. A little bigger.
