New Vegan Zombie Film, A44, to Be Premiered in 2025

The upcoming film A44, set to premiere in 2025, features a vegan zombie world and is created by Chris Cooney, also known as The Vegan Zombie. The movie stars Cooney, alongside notable figures like Dr. Michael Greger and Jane Velez-Mitchell, and tells a tale of compassion through a unique zombie narrative. By infusing elements of comedy and not taking itself too seriously, the film aims to invite viewers to laugh, reflect, and potentially see the world in a different light. With a central theme of empathy towards animals, the friendship between the lead character and his loyal German Shepherd plays a significant role in the story. Cooney's Kickstarter project for the film raised over $85,000 back in 2018.

The movie, which is the first of its kind to feature a pro-vegan storyline that isn't a documentary, aims to inspire a shift in perspective towards veganism and animal rights. Cooney, who also published a graphic novel cookbook titled The Vegan Zombie: Cook & Survive in 2013, hopes that A44 will encourage audiences to connect with animals and consider extending empathy to all living beings. His vision is to make a meaningful impact through storytelling and entertainment, promoting compassion and understanding towards animals in a lighthearted and engaging way.
