Bret Hart Puts the Sharpshooter on ‘Tales from the Dead Zone’
It appears as if Barry J. Gillis’ Tales from the Dead Zone is set to receive an injection from the excellence of execution as the one and only Bret “The Hitman” Hart has signed on to star in the flick alongside Corey Feldman, and we have the early details below.
And by the way, the film is an anthology, so yeah, we’re freakin’ pumped, even more so with the inclusion of wrestling legend Bret Hart!
From the Press Release:
World renowned wrestler Bret “The Hitman” Hart has just signed to star in TALES FROM THE DEAD ZONE. Hart will star as private investigator Tom Jenkings, a one-man wrecking crew who doesn’t always play by all of the rules.
“We are happy to have Mr. Hart’s involvement in our project,” says executive producer Len J. Phillips.
“I wrote the role of Jenkings with Bret Hart in mind, and I am happy he accepted the offer to act in our feature film. Bret Hart is such a fantastic actor,” states director Barry J. Gillis.

TALES FROM THE DEAD ZONE is about a medical examiner who imagines how victims of a horrible car crash may have lived their lives. Prolific Danish actor Kim Sonderholm is playing the medical examiner. “I look forward to flying to Canada; I hear good things. I also like playing this type of tailor-made role, so to speak. The medical examiner’s mind is twisted from seeing so much death on the job. So he’s got quite a vivid imagination that tends to run wild,” chuckles Sonderholm.
Also starring in TALES FROM THE DEAD ZONE is Dakota House, star of the long running Canadian television series (still in world wide syndication) “North of 60.” Rounding out the cast are Len J. Phillips, Madison Nyenhuis, Ken Campbell, Maria Parker, Terrence Van Camp, and Holly Reiter.
The incredibly talented Corey Feldman makes a special appearance in the movie as well, featuring his bandmates in Corey’s Angels. Feldman has just released his new double-CD set ANGELIC 2 THE CORE, which is currently skyrocketing up the Billboard charts.
Tales in the anthology include “LEGEND OF THE PEOPLES DEMON,” “END GAME,” “ROCK STAR LEGACY,” “ROPE A DOPE,” and “BURT THE SAILOR.” The first story, “LEGEND OF THE PEOPLES DEMON,” has been shot and is currently in post-production (you can see its artwork below along with various stills).
TALES FROM THE DEAD ZONE continues shooting in Edmonton, Canada, in December and is expected to be ready for distribution in late 2017.
