Ray Dorset Of Mungo Jerry
The film, written and directed by Philip Gardiner, is being shot during December in Derbyshire, England, for international release in 2013. Producing the film is British horror author, Michelle Gent. It’s a bizarre tale of modern Nazis raising the 4th Reich in Romania. The film centres around a suspicious terrorist plot that turns out to be a Nazi vanguard for world domination. Ray Dorset is playing the role of one of a group of British spies sent in to uncover the truth only to discover something even more sinister.
Mungo Jerry shot to fame in the 1970s with their hit, In the Summertime, which was covered in 2005 by Shaggy and again hit the top slot. Ray Dorset still tours today and is releasing a Christmas single with actress Anita Harris, a cover of Fairytale of New York. He’s also written the title track for Dead Walkers itself called, I Can See Them Everywhere. Another song by Ray, Have Fun in the Sun, will feature in the movie and a video featuring clips from the film is being shot by the director.
