I remember reading about ‘Fido’ a while ago, then came some clips, and I realised the guy playing Fido the zombie looked vaguely familiar, I’ve only just got round to looking on imdb and realised it’s Billy Connolly. Billy Connolly playing a zombie!!! there’s no way this can be anything less than fantastic.

Here’s the synopsis for Fido:

Timmy Robinson’s best friend in the whole wide world is a six-foot tall rotting zombie named Fido. But when FIDO eats the next-door neighbor, Mom and Dad hit the roof, and Timmy has to go to the ends of the earth to keep Fido a part of the family. A boy-and-his-dog movie for grown ups, “FIDO” will rip your heart out.

Did I mention Billy Connolly is the zombie?

The full trailer for ‘Fido’ has arrived on the films official website and it looks really funny, and a nice twist on the white-picket fence happy-days style 50’s american movie…
