SWEET!

[Jox]

Hopefully soon but like I said, the production/distribution isn't in a hurry to release it too soon, unlike Sunfilm (German distributor) does it first.

[Jox]

Finally we can see a trailer!
It's in German but it sure looks R-bloodied action-packed fun:

And here's some stills!












+ a few more on the Amazon page

That looks pretty awesome I have to say. It just looks like they've nailed what they were going for, a rollicking, balls to the wall, b-movie action spectacular.
Can't wait for the English trailer. I like the look of it though. Dolph looks awesome too. The fx don't look half bad either.

I kind of get a sense this could be his most fun film in a while. It seems kind of unashamedly B material, a bit like Dark Angel was. It won't be as good as that of course, but if has the same sense of fun, it'll be on the right track.

Quite agree with Tom. Looks fun, honnest and delivers what its pitch would say : "Dolph Lundgren and robots vs Zombies". I'm in.

[Nathan]

I think that this will be on par with movies like The Godfather and Schindler's List. In fact, scrub that, it looks much more enjoyable than those movies. Dolph standing next to a robot firing a machine gun sold it for me. He looks like he is having fun again here which is great to see and this is his most "action orientated" role in quite a while. Roles like Icarus and Blood of Redemption are fine but it looks like he is getting to throw himself around a bit in this one. Definately gonna be one of the Dolph highlights of 2013 I think.

That looks amazing.

Do we know if that German blu-ray has English audio? It's up for pre-order at amazon.de. In 3D too!

Where are you guys seeing that trailer on Jox's link? I see a page for the German DVD but no trailer.

[Jox]

At the bottom of the page, there's a little Flash player, just hit the "play" button

Sunfilm/Tiberius changed their homepage. Now there is NO trailer for Battle of the damned - and no word a about english audio.

[Jox]

They'll probably upload the trailer again on the new page.

I've sent an e-mail to sunfilm/tiberius and asked for it a few minutes ago and await the answer.

New cover for the 3D edition

I have no idea what schlachtfest means but it sounds awesome.

I wonder how they do the 3D conversions on these Direct to Video movies, I can't imagine they have a huge budget to do so. The "proper" 2D to 3D conversion costs I think like $100,000 per minute.
