It was just over a week ago that I was telling you all how Jonathan Levine was planning on making his zombie romance flick WARM BODIES PG-13. Sure this is a hit for what’s supposed to be a movie about the undead seeking human flesh… but let’s not give up hope just yet.
Today word coming in from Variety has comedic actor Rob Corddry in final negotiations to join the flick as one of the undead. Alright, now we can give up hope.
Seriously though I can’t tell which way this one will be going. One thing is for sure though, it’s got the insanely hot Teresa Palmer. That fact alone has this schmuck sold.
WARM BODIES follows a zombie known as R, who usually spends his days stumbling around the devastated Earth, groaning and looking for live human brains to snack upon. But when he ingests the cerebellum of Perry, he also takes in the man’s memories of his girlfriend, Julie, and starts to fall for her. He stops himself – and the rest of his undead fellows – from attacking her and slowly an Edward Scissorhands-style romance blossoms. There’s just one small problem: Julie’s father is the tough survivor general who will stop at nothing to wipe out the zombie hordes. But R’s relationship stirs real feeling in him for the first time, and his actions might just go on to change the world of the better.
Joining Corddry (above) and Palmer (below) in the flick will be Nicholas Hoult, who stars as ‘R,’ a zombie who’s different from the rest of the undead. Corddry will play ‘M,’ the only other zombie like him … at first.
So there you have it folks. WARM BODIES is shaping up pretty quickly, with production set to start next month, so I’m sure we’ll have some more updates for you guys soon.
