Rutten and I have a similar problem in the pronunciations as well as spellings of our names. Bas, who’s given name is Sabastiaan (Dutch spelling), continuously is corrected on the Anglicized version as well as Bas being pronounced “BOSS” and my last name, of Samo, which is a transliteration of the Assyrian name originally written in Eastern Aramaic.

Armed only with their wrestling skills and enchanted lucha libre masks, they must fight for their lives and ensure the virus is contained to prevent an all-out zombie massacre.
““We are really excited to give audiences something we feel like they have been longing for—a film that is a fun, 90-minute escape from reality,” said writer/producer/co-stars Mike Carey and Chris Margetis. “We want to pull back the curtain on a world the viewer isn’t familiar with, give them a comfort level, and then turn that world upside down with total zombie mayhem.”

It is written by Mike Carey and Chris Margetis with Kim Carey co-executive producer, Mike Carey, Tanya Hill, and Chris Margetis serving as executive producers.
