Is it just me, or did they run out of ideas on new Anti-Zombie movies to make a long time ago? I mean, Hollywood isn’t known for its originality to start with, but, geez:

If you ever owned a Super Nintendo back in the day and never got a chance to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors, then you truly lost out on something special. The top-down shooter followed one or two players as they explored a variety of environments, picking up weapons, discovering secrets and saving survivors all while pumping bullet after bullet into the zombie horde.

Fun times.

Now FirstShowing has gotten word that a script written by John Darko adapting the game as a horror-comedy is looking for financing. The film is said to incorporate elements of the video game — including stars Zeke and Julie — but that it is largely its own coming-of-age high school story. With zombies and subversive comedy, of course.

Anti-Zombie violence very loosely based on a videogame, plus a ‘coming-of-age high school story’. This sounds like the movie I’d be forced to watch for all eternity in Hell.
