Thoughts become things to Creepy Zombies
On the heels of wrapping his latest personal development film “How
Thoughts Become things,” Director/producer Douglas Vermeeren
makes a startling announcement. Douglas Vermeeren became known as one of the
foremost directors and producers in the inspirational and personal development
genre with his award winning films, The Opus, The Gratitude Experiment and The
Treasure Map. His films have been translated into more than 23 languages and
developed into books featured in just as many languages. But this week he threw a curveball when he
announced that his next film will not be an inspirational picture.
At first consideration one might think that a simple inspiring
narrative film might be the next logical step that Vermeeren might make, but
the reality is far more surprising. Vermeeren declared on a panel discussion at
a recent personal development forum that his next film will be a “Zombie
picture.”
What is meant by the declaration of a zombie picture has yet to
be seen as the details given were less than precise. Some of the revealed
points include that the film will be titles “Creepy Zombies.”
It will be shot both in Vermeeren’s hometown of
Calgary, Alberta Canada and Los Angeles, California. The film will go into
production for June of this year and have an expected release date of October
2016.
Vermeeren will be writing the script.
When probed further about why a shift from personal development
is in order, Vermeeren replied that “this was really his first passion. Not
specifically Zombie movies. But fantasy, adventure and narrative stories. This
is what I went to school for in the beginning.”
When asked if his most recent film will be his last venture into
the personals development realm Vermeeren replied that he had just finished
principle photography on his latest personal development film “How
Thoughts Become Things.” Once it is released he will spend more
time in the non-documentary filmmaking, but the future was unwritten. There may
be more personal development films in the future.
