Wraith Rovers looking for some dead-ball players

Stark’s Park in Kirkcaldy is set to be besieged by zombies for a spoof horror movie about the state of Scottish football.

And residents are being given the chance to appear in Wraith Rovers: The Undead Eleven in exchange for offering a £500 donation towards production costs.

Parts up for grabs include Napoleon, the ghost of Jim Baxter and a man-eating brown bear.

Behind the movie, set to be filmed in the town during the first two weeks of September, are Emmy recipient Bob Carruthers and Sundance Festival 2010 award winner Dave McWhinnie.

Mr Carruthers said: ”It’s essentially a satire on the state of Scottish football. It’s something that’s very personal to a lot of people in this country but football and everything about it does have its funny side. With everything that’s gone on in the past six months, it’s perfect for satire.

”The film is about how Wraith Rovers try to avoid taxes by fielding an undead team. Every football cliche gets turned into a reality. When he asks for a midfield general, Napoleon appears in the midfield.”

The 52-year-old film-maker, who hails from Kirkcaldy, said Wraith Rovers was not intended to cause any offence.

”People shouldn’t see it as being anti-Rangers. Rangers supporters will hopefully love it as much as everybody else,” he said.

Filming coincides with the start of Kirkcaldy Comedy Festival and Mr Carruthers hopes editing will be completed in time for a screening at the end of October.

”We’re hoping the film will kick off the comedy festival. There will be a couple of big scenes. We’re hoping to shoot one in the High Street, of them coming back with the European Cup, as well as a few in Stark’s Park.”

Wraith Rovers will feature characters including a football manager who is always uttering spoonerisms and a club owner called Craig Scheidt.

Actors will take on the main roles, with applications invited for the supporting roles at wraithrovers.com.
