Zombies Ate My Neighbors Coming To The Big Screen?

First let me say that some of the levels in this game were a pain when it came out on the SNES and Sega. At any rate you play as two teens trying to save the neighborhood that you’re in when a zombie (and other monster) outbreak occurs. The rumor currently is that writer John Darko (newer writer whose work I haven’t seen) has acquired funding a movie based on the original game is in the works. While this sounds good ‘in premise’ they don’t appear to have the rights of the game yet to make it into a movie so this is still very early in development and may end up coming out as another film all together. I hope they do get the rights though because this was one random piece of gaming history that could easily be done with a Scott Pilgrim vs The World feel to it and be an absolute riot to watch.

What was Zombies Ate My Neighbors all about?

The neighbors are just dying to meet you! Hey, where’s that scary music coming from? Yikes! It’s Zombies Ate My Neighbors, where you appear in every demented horror flick ever to make you hurl ju-jubes.

Who could play the male lead?

I would say that this guy, whoever he is, should clearly be chosen for the role!
