Or to be more precise, it brings the cinematic ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ there, as the novel on which it is based already did so:

Vaca Films, the company behind the previously announced Welcome to Harmony, is now in development on Apocalypse Z, which is being adapted for the screen by Javier Gullon. David Alonso is set to direct the film based upon the Manel Loureiro novel Apocalipsis Z: Los días oscuros.

Look for more on this one soon!

The synopsis shows that there is very little here for the enlightened Zombie ally, as one might expect:

What would happen if one day it’s discovered that civilization is falling apart? That’s what happens to a young attorney who leads a quiet life and routine in a small provincial Spanish town, until an obscure medical incident in a remote country in the Caucasus takes place. Gradually what was only a small news item in newspapers is transformed into an epidemic of devastating proportions that threatens to annihilate mankind. As the disease eats country after country, the chaos begins to spread in Spain when the zombies invade.

Are we doomed to have a nationality-specific version of the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ for every nation on Earth? That would be at least 193 movies to slog through. Perhaps 203; quite probably more, if you take ethnic/nationalist/secessionist movements into account.

It’s a daunting task, but one we’re up for at the ZRC. Though of course, if we don’t *have* to watch those movies because they’re never made and instead replaced by Zombie Friendly media, that’d be outstanding. Trust me, I’ll find something else to do with my time :D
