Backstreet Boys rise from the dead in new zombie movie!

Los Angeles — A zombie TV movie is bringing together members of two boy bands.

Backstreet Boys Nick Carter, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough will star in the Syfy channel's Dead 7, along with Joey Fatone of 'N Sync fame.

Movie production company The Asylum said the post-apocalyptic drama follows ragtag gunslingers trying to free a town of a zombie plague.

Carter is also producing and co-writing the film, and his wife, Lauren Kitt Carter, will join him as part of the cast.

Here they are announcing the news at Comic-Con.
