<p>Who watches the watchers? Why, Frank West from his very own zombie watchtower.</p>
<p>Legendary Pictures has revealed that none other than retired marine, comedy news reporter, and actor Rob Riggle of<em> The Daily Show</em> fame will be playing photojournalist and part-time zombie-slayer extraordinaire Frank West.</p>
<p>Riggle joins Aleks Paunovic (<em>This Means War</em>), who will play Logan, leader of a biker gang. His sidekick Pyro, will be played by Harley Morenstein (<em>Epic Meal Time</em>). Finally, Keegan Connor Tracey (<em>Bates Motel, Once Upon a Time</em>) will play a fellow journalist by the name of Jordan.</p>
<p>The Zach Lipovsky directed film (<em>Leprechaun: Origin</em>) will also star Jesse Metcalfe (<em>John Tucker Must Die, Dallas</em>), Meghan Ory (<em>Once Upon a Time, Vampire High</em>), Virginia Madsen (<em>Sideways, The Number 23</em>), and Dennis Haysbert (<em>24, Wreck It Ralph</em>).</p>
<p>The film, entitled<em> Dead Rising: Watchtower</em> will take place during a zombie outbreak as per the series schtick, and all clues point to Zombrex (the fictional zombie infection-fighting drug)</p>
<p><em>Watchtower</em> is planned as a direct-to-video release on Crackle in the United States, so no hope of a super-sized zombie infestation on your IMAX screen. Following the exclusivity period, the movie will be released for digital download and on disc.</p>
<p>Tell us: is Rob Riggle the Frank West for you?</p>
