Anyone who knows me knows that I love a great comic book adaptation. Not just blockbuster films like The Avengers or a series like The Walking Dead – but really I love seeing print media turned into a film. So what are we getting this one? A zombie comic (of course, what else would I be writing about here?) We’re going to be seeing “The Zombies that Ate the World” which is about:
In Los Angeles in the year 2064, the dead have risen and corpses live again, cohabiting among us…well, somewhat. As a zombie apocalypse engulfs America, we follow a group of friends on a their journey to start a little business of their own…zombie catchers!
Written by Jerry Frissen (Lucha Libre, The Tikitis), and illustrated by Guy Davis (B.P.R.D., The Marquis: Inferno), the two creators collaborate here to pay homage to the zombie genre, giving us a hilarious black comedy that will want you starved for more! Collects the first 4 issues of the DDP/Humanoids comics and features a whole new sketchbook section.
The comic series itself is available from Humanoids and has 2 collections out for it so far. There isn’t much news about the film itself aside from the fact that it’s in the works but Dread Central did say that it will be filming in Canada and will be directed by Erik Canuel (Bon Cop, Bad Cop.)
