4TH REICH Will it ever be made

No news is bad news 

Director: Shaun Robert Smith

Cast: Sean Bean, Sean Pertwee,
Jason Flemyng Tom Savini

Production Status:     In Pre-Production

The 4th Reich seemed like it was going to be a great addition to the Nazi Zombie sub-genre.  There were some decent actors attached including the ever reliable Sean Pertwee & zombie film legend Tom Savini.  In 2010 Sean Bean reveled he would also be involved and the film would be released in 2011.  It looked to have a Dog soldiers (2002) feel to the film from the teaser released (Which seems to have since disappeared from the internet) but it still doesn't look like appearing any time soon.  IMDB has moved to a 2013 release but AV productions who have the distribution rights have not updated anything since 2011

Will this film ever be seen any info please update

Plot: Beset by a barrage of German gunfire Allied forces land on Normandy. In spite of the countless number of bodies strewn along the bloody beaches the manoeuvre is hailed a success in the Allied efforts to liberate France.

However there is no respite for war weary Corporal Roberts and Sergeant Major Gordon as they are assigned on a covert mission progressing deeper into occupied France. Led by the battle hardened Captain Bathurst, the small select infantry are tasked with a mission to take over from where a previous operation failed - to eliminate the notorious Oberleutnant Dirlewanger and destroy the secret research facility he and his SS division are guarding with their lives. With the mission's details being on a need to know basis, rumours amongst the infantry circulate about the Nazi's occultish experiments.

As they advance through war ravaged towns seeing off the last faithful members of Nazi resistance, Roberts discovers that the rumours may not be as far fetched as he believed. Finding the macabre corpses of the first operation, the disturbing reality that they were not simply the victims of battle begins to sink in.

Their suspicions prove justified as they explore the deserted research facility revealing the truly horrific implications of the Nazi experiments and discovering their successful trials to regenerate an indestructible 4th Reich from Dirlewanger's SS dead division. The soldiers are now faced with an undead evil for which even the extreme nightmares of war could not have prepared them.
