So I was watching that new G4 Underground show the other day, and they were profiling a group of activists that are actively preparing for the zombie apocalypse. That got me thinking about zombies, which of course brought me to Left 4 Dead; and that's how I stumbled across these beauties.

 
Over at the Night Zero (a photographic comic book that is pretty cool in its own right) webpage,  the series creators have paid homage to Valve's zombie frag fest with a series of awesomely realistic Left 4 Dead pictures. Created using a mixture of old fashioned photography tricks and the latest HDR technology, the Night Zero team did an incredible job recreating the look, feel and characters of the acclaimed FPS (more than I bet any movie studio could do.)
 
 
 
Night Zero's Flickr account lists the pictures as "early promo stills for the live-action Left 4 Dead Movie, featuring a fifth survivor." Not sure how much stock to put into that, but hey - it does explain the awkward pirate in a few of the photos. Check out our gallery of a few of the images, and then check out the Night Zero page for more goodies including an explanation on how it was done and some pretty cool behind the scenes photos.
