Uzor Arukwe Announced as Lead Cast of ‘Alive Till Dawn’, a Zombie Movie Set in Nigeria

Uzor Arukwe is set to star in Alive Till Dawn, a zombie movie set in Abuja, currently in pre production. Alive Till Dawn is an indie production by the makers of the zombie-themed short film Road To Jabi.

Created and directed by Leo Obienyi, the synopsis for Alive Till Dawn reads: “In the chaos of a zombie virus outbreak, an unlikely alliance forms when civilians, police officers, and criminals find themselves trapped inside a besieged police station. As the night unfolds, they must navigate treacherous undead hordes, and escape the building to reach the means to a rumored haven or become the very monsters they’re fighting against.” 

Uzor Arukwe, sharing his excitement to be on the project, says “I have always wanted to work on projects that feel different from every other film I have acted in. I’m excited about the prospect of this one.”

Arukwe most recently starred in the December blockbuster film A Tribe Called Judah. The versatile actor is also known for his roles in Sugar Rush, Progressive Tailors Club, Prophetess, and The One For Sarah.

Leo Obienyi is known for his work as executive producer and story writer of Road to Jabi, a short film that enjoyed a one-day limited cinema release in Lagos, Abuja, and Anambra in 2022, selling over 2000 tickets. 

Alive Till Dawn is currently in its pre-production phase. Other cast members are yet to be unveiled.
