Morenstein will play menacing biker Pyro, while Paunovic will play Logan, a tough criminal and head of the biker gang. Tracey will play a "straight-laced journalist". Dead Rising: Watchtower has been penned by Time Carter, who is also producing the movie with Thomas Harlanunder Cotnradiction Films, the production outfit behind digital series Mortal Kombat: Legacy. The producer behind Transformers, Red and GI Joe, Lorenzo di Bonaventura is on board as Executive Producer.
