TURBO KID Directors Set To Helm WE ARE ZOMBIES Based on The Comic THE ZOMBIES THAT ATE THE WORLD
The directing team behind Turbo Kid and Summer of 84, Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell and François Simard, are set to helm a new film titled We Are Zombies. The project is a horror-comedy based on Jerry Frissen and Guy Davis’ cult comic book series The Zombies That Ate the World.
This is a high-concept film project, and the story is set in “a city breeding non-cannibal zombies who are considered ‘living-impaired.’ The offbeat comedic plot follows three slackers looking to earn some easy money who must fight an evil mega-corporation to save their kidnapped grand-mother.”
I’m not familiar with the comic, but this sounds like it will make for a fun flick, and it seems like a great project that is perfect for these filmmakers. The comic ran in the legendary magazine Métal Hurlant in 2003 and received praise from horror legends such as George A. Romero, Joe Dante and Tobe Hooper.
The movie stars Alexander Nachi (Clash), Megan Peta Hill (Riverdale) and Derek Johns (Moonfall). The project will also bring back Turbo Kid cinematographer Jean-Philippe Bernier and production designer Sylvain Lemaître.
