Billy Connolly is on board for Fido

Billy Connolly has jumped on board to star in Fido for Lions Gate and Anagram Pictures. He will be joining Dylan Baker, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tim Blake Nelson and Henry Czerny which will be helmed by Andrew Currie. Shooting will begin wednesday in Canada.

Fido details the effects of Earthâ€™s passage through a cloud of space dust, which results in the dead arising from their graves. In an attempt to quell the mayhem, a patented â€œdomestication collarâ€? is invented by a company called ZomCom, helping society integrate the zombie hordes, who quickly become â€œgardeners, milkmen, butlers and even pets.â€? A boy named Timmy Robinson befriends a ghoul that his mom buys to help around the houseâ€”and then has to defend his new pal when the creatureâ€™s collar goes wonky and it begins reverting to its flesheating ways.
