The zombie-themed action-comedy film "Zombie Plane," featuring Vanilla Ice, Sophie Monk, and the late Chuck Norris in his final role, remains unreleased nearly a year after its completion. Filmed in Queensland, the movie centers on a Sydney-to-Los Angeles flight overtaken by zombies and has drawn attention for its unusual cast and premise.

Although initially generating buzz upon announcement, the film has since faded from public view, with only limited screenings reported. An industry insider described the movie as a lowbrow, entertaining production unlikely to contend for major awards but nonetheless possessing some appeal. However, questions persist about why "Zombie Plane" has yet to reach a broader audience.

Notably, some cast members, including actor Stephen Curry, have expressed surprise at reports of viewings, suggesting confusion about the film’s whereabouts even among those involved in its production. Attempts to promote the film in Australia encountered obstacles, such as controversy surrounding Kyle Sandilands, who appears in the cast. Sandilands was scheduled to appear at the Supanova Brisbane convention in November to promote the film, but his participation was canceled following public backlash. Sources close to the project believe this controversy may have contributed to delays or revisions in the film’s release strategy, including efforts to minimize Sandilands’ presence in the final version.

Additionally, there have been reports that distribution plans shifted following interest from a U.S. distributor, leading to the Australian release being put on hold. One individual familiar with the production alluded to internal disagreements and possible mismanagement affecting the film’s progress.

Despite these setbacks, those involved with "Zombie Plane" remain hopeful that the film will eventually be released. The unusual combination of cast members and zombie-comedy elements continues to generate curiosity, leaving its eventual public debut awaited by a niche audience.
