YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean Is 100% Unrecognizable In This Zombie Western: See The Pics

A.J., is that you?!

We're not playing games with your heart: three members of The Backstreet Boys and one member of 'NSYNC are currently filming a horror/Western hybrid film. Rolling Stone wrote about the movie back in July 2015, and filming appears to be well underway this month.

BSB bros Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean team up with NSYNC alum Joey Fatone in Montana to shoot the Syfy film "Dead 7," a movie co-written and directed by Carter, according to E! Online. In addition to these four '90s heartthrobs, the film also stars Jacob Underwood, Trevor Penick and Erik-Michael Estrada from O-Town; Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees; Tommy Mac from No Authority and Delious Kennedy from All-4-One.

According to Rolling Stone, the film is about "a 'ragtag band of gunslingers' fighting a zombie plague," and the cast recently shared photos of the shoot on social media.

Nick and Jacob getting ready to face off — whether it's against each other or zombies is TBD.

Joey and Howie lookin' like a couple of badasses. LOL at Joey's pipe.

Nick wears that cowboy getup realllllllly well. Just saying. Also, his character's name must be Jack, since this photo's caption is, "Early morning. Back to jack. #Dead7."

Nick said on Instagram he was sitting in the director's chair, watching Howie and Joey "do their thing." No idea what that means, but it's gotta be good.

Jacob captioned this, "Getting ready for a boyband throw down!," which apparently involves wrenches. MEN AT WORK, PEOPLE.

Jacob appears to be playing one of the bad guys, since he labeled this pic, "Evil cowboy time." If you would've told me 15 years ago that O-Town would turn to the dark side, I never would've believed you.

"We came to chew bubble gum and kick #zombie ass...and there's no bubble gum during an #apocalypse #Dead7." Best. Caption. Ever.

But perhaps the best/weirdest photos are from A.J. McLean's Instagram. People.com said back in July that McLean is playing "the apprentice to the main villain," but that was all the information given. Based on his makeup and costume, I'm going to go out on a limb and say his character is somehow bad guy/zombie related? See for yourself.

A.J. poked fun at Jack Nicholson's famous line in "The Shining" by captioning the first selfie he took with his character's makeup as, "Here's Johnny!!"

OK, no. That black eye contact needs to go. This isn't "Supernatural," A.J.!

He shared with this pic that his character's name is Tom. Of course, he referred to himself as "Evil Tom," so that's just great.

This looks like something out of "American Horror Story." A big, fat NOPE.

It's clear the cast and crew are having a blast filming, especially after reading this tweet Carter shared yesterday (August 25).

Safe to say this is pretty much us after seeing all those photos.
