HUNG UP ON A DREAM: THE ZOMBIES DOCUMENTARY

HUNG UP ON A DREAM is the first movie to tell the story of one of greatest of all British Invasion bands, The Zombies. Filmed nearly sixty years after Rod Argent, the late Paul Atkinson, Hugh Grundy, Paul Arnold and dulcet-voiced singer Colin Blunstone met as teenagers, The Zombies tell their own story of navigating the tumultuous music industry over the decades and making one of the most influential albums of all time, Odessey and Oracle. After George Harrison gave it his personal endorsement, The Zombies’ single “She’s Not There” made them the first British band after The Beatles to reach #1 in the US. After years of touring and some career missteps in the 60s, the band had already broken up when “Time of the Season” hit #1 and became a global success.

However, the music endured, creating legions of new fans every decade. With HUNG UP ON A DREAM, the band looks back on their often-weird journey, such as the time Blunstone changed his professional name and had a hit with a Zombies cover, or when an entirely fake group were presented as The Zombies and lip-synched “Time of the Season” on a national television show. Ultimately, this is the story of how talent and friendship brought the Zombies back together again.
