Syfy unites '90s boy bands to fight zombies in 'Dead 7' trailer
Watch Next

"90s boy band zombie Western" might sound like words drawn from a hat by anxious Hollywood executives, which may well be the case with Dead 7, the sci-fi original movie that's bringing together members of *NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and O-Town. 

The former boy band-members don't play themselves, but the trailer embraces their personas for what promises to be a movie full of tongue-in-cheek mayhem. The film's larger-than-life cast unites Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, Jeff Timmons, Erik-Michael Estrada, Jacob Underwood, Trevor Penick and Dan Miller.

Dead 7 premieres on Syfy at 8 P.M. on April 1.
