No, not THAT Rodriguez. Eduardo Rodriguez will be directing the Rogue Pictures’ zombie flick FRAGILE. According to Variety, when asked about the project, Rodriguez had this to say:
“‘Fragile’ gives me the opportunity to explore the horror we’re used to in the genre but set in a unique post-apocalyptic world where zombies aren’t the monsters anymore.”
By his description, it sounds a little like Briane Keene’s novel THE RISING. FRAGILE is based off the graphic novel of the same name by Stefano Raffaele. According to Variety, the synopsis for the novel is: the story kicks off after an airborne virus has reduced much of the Earth’s population to feral zombies. A recently undead soldier then teams with a female zombie and a human teenager, racing against time to find a cure before being hunted down by the soldier’s former military unit.
Sounds pretty cool. A lot of possibilities with this one. Rodriguez’s other credits include directing the films OPEN GRAVE (currently in pre-production) and CURANDERO, which was actually written by THAT Rodriguez (Robert Rodriguez). John Baldecchi, Justin Connolly, Pierre Spengler, and Fabrice Giger are all producing FRAGILE with Keith Dinielli co-producing. Jeff Dixon adapted the screenplay from the graphic novel (published by Humanoids). Dixon is also working on a graphic novel of his own for Viper Comics called RUN LIKE HELL and is currently working on the script for Maverick Films’ BURIED.
