Truly sickening news, but then again this is a guy who makes his money coming up with torture porn:

Here’s how Whannell pitched a comedy script he’s recently wrapped:

I actually just wrote a comedy about a zombie virus that breaks out in a primary school but only effects people who haven’t been through puberty. There’s all these eight or nine year olds running around and the teachers are holed up inside the school. And the titles of the film is…? Cooties. That’s just an out and out comedy.

Yes, staging a Zombie Apocalypse scenario where children are affected (a-ffected, not e-ffected, btw) by a Zombie virus then cruelly abandoned by their caregivers when they need counseling and guidance the most, then, no doubt, slaughtered en masse for laughs. What could go wrong?

How about vomiting in the aisles in pure disgust? No, wait, what am I thinking; most of the people who show up would be ‘Saw’ fans, they probably can’t be sickened by any horrors on screen anymore.

We’ll keep an eye out for this one; personally, I’d love to picket something this odious.
