Zombie Apocalypse 3: Dawn of Extinction

***Zombie Apocalypse 3: Dawn of Extinction*** is a film released on July 20, 2023 by Brick World Pictures. It is the third and final film in the *Zombie Apocalypse* trilogy. It is directed by Will Glane and written by Zachary Brickens.

## Synopsis

With the Evil Scientist on the run and the zombie apocalypse soon to destroy human civilization for good, Mathew learns a secret about the zombies that could determine the fate of the world and also his life.

## Plot

While Chief Brody chases after the Evil Scientist, Mathew, Liam, David, and Joe escape the Evil Scientist's base with Jennifer and Tommy freed, only to find themselves surrounded by a huge group of zombies. A helicopter with a rope flies over them and Mathew tells the others to climb aboard, which they do before any of the zombies have time to attack them.

A meeting occurs afterward where Brody mentions that he lost the Evil Scientist on his pursuit and Mathew is furious that he missed the shot at the Evil Scientist from Zombie Apocalypse 2. Following a talk about saving as many people as they can before it's too late, David mentions that the Evil Scientist would have improved the virus to be even more effective and that they would soon be facing the "dawn of our extinction".

Three weeks later, a news report states that most of the countries had fallen and billions were either dead or turned into zombies. Mathew turns the tv off and again expresses his anger for missing his shot at the Evil Scientist.

## Trivia

* This is the first and only Brick World Pictures film to not have Edward Noobinson credited for a cameo. Edward did appear briefly in the film however, playing a zombie in the massive army at 43:38, but is barely even visible nor recognizable. Director Will Glane commented on this saying, "I was so focused on the story of the movie that I forgot to talk with Edward. I do regret it, and I apologize."
* Similar to the second Zombie Apocalypse film, the subtitle of this film is said right before the opening credits. In addition, the original subtitle of this film, "A New Life" is also said at the very end of this film.
* It is the only Brick World Pictures film to have a "Severe" rating in the Parent's Guide, as well as a PG-13 rating overall.
* David Breaze wore brown hair dye throughout the first two films in the saga but stopped in 2020. Due to the inconsistency of his hair between films, this had to be written into the script and was not planned.
* David jokingly says "Why do we always end up driving a flatbed truck everywhere we go?" in reference to them using a flatbed truck the previous two films to carry people.
* Liam says "Okeydokey Doctor Dan" to Dan in reference to Indiana Jones: The Temple Of Doom when Short Round says "Okeydokey Doctor Jones" to Indiana.
* There are a few rumored guesses as to why Bill Richardson and Josh Mason do not appear in this film and their characters were killed off. One idea was that there were too many characters and that they were killed off to keep the film from being too crowded. Another was that they wanted to focus on their real governmental jobs. However, writer Zach Brickens responded by saying, "Taking over the writing from Jack Headston [who wrote the first two in the saga] was hard, and if I'm completely honest, I forgot their characters existed. Though I do agree that there would be far too many characters and that they aren't important to the story in any way."
* Were there a fourth film, it would use the original subtitle of this movie, "A New Life" and would be about the survivors rebuilding society while a new strand of the virus, free from the mind control devices, spreads.
