There has been a veritable gold rush into Zombie film lately, and lots of big names have been signing up. Indie zombie movies are attracting top talent these days; Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench will appear in ‘The Curse of the Buxom Strumpet’ for example, while Jeff Bridges will star in ‘R.I.P.D.’ and Christopher Lloyd will be in ‘Dead Before Dawn’.

Well, we can add another big name to another upcoming Zombie-related film:

Levine is putting together the cast for his next movie, Warm Bodies, an adaptation of isaac Marion’s book about a romance between a zombie and a still human girl. Nicholas Hoult is set to play the zombie with a heart, with Teresa Palmer as the object of his affection, and now Variety reports that Children’s Hospital star Rob Corddry will play another zombie, who like Hoult’s character “is different from the rest of the undead.”

I’ve actually had ‘Warm Bodies’ recommended to us as a book to check out for the blog, and this only raises the importance of grabbing a copy to review.

It is clearly going to be a hectic time for the Zombie movie review business in the near future. We’ll let you know which ones are Zombie Friendly. Promise.
