LOS ANGELES (AP) --
A zombie TV movie is bringing together members of two boy bands.
Backstreet Boys Nick Carter, A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough will star in the Syfy channel's "Dead 7," along with Joey Fatone of 'N Sync fame.
Movie production company The Asylum said the post-apocalyptic drama follows ragtag gunslingers trying to free a town of a zombie plague.
Carter is also producing and co-writing the film, and his wife, Lauren Kitt Carter, will join him as part of the cast.
"Dead 7" is scheduled to air in 2016, the Syfy channel said Tuesday.
Actress and comedian Rachael Harris will host the Art Directors Guild’s 29th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards on Saturday, February 15, at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.
The ceremony celebrates outstanding production design in film, television, commercials, music videos, and animation. This year’s event will also honor Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Jason Reitman with the Cinematic Imagery Award and feature Lifetime Achievement Awards for Lisa Frazza, Barbara Mesney, Dan Sweetman, and J. Dennis Washington. Legendary production designer Carl Jules Weyl will be inducted into the ADG Hall of Fame.
“I am honored to host the ADG Awards this year,” said Harris. “Production designers and their teams are the unsung heroes of film and television, creating the worlds we inhabit on screen. Their artistry and craftsmanship inspire me and I’m delighted to celebrate their incredible work.”
Harris most recently was a lead in the Disney+ anthology series “Goosebumps,” based on the best-selling books by R.L. Stine. A veteran of improvisation and comedy, she launched her career with “The Groundlings” before becoming a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” She has appeared in numerous TV series including “Friends,” “Frasier,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Modern Family,” and “New Girl.” Fans will also recognize her for her roles in “Suits” and as a series regular on the hit show “Lucifer.”
On the big screen, Harris’ credits include “The Hangover,” the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” trilogy and Christopher Guest’s celebrated “Best in Show,” “A Mighty Wind” and “For Your Consideration.”
