Ummm… I don’t even know what to say about this.
Deadline.com is reporting that Double Feature partners Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher have optioned PAUL IS UNDEAD, an Alan Goldsher novel that re-imagines the history of The Beatles–with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr re-cast as zombies… And you thought PRIDE AND PREJUDICE WITH ZOMBIES – which is being made with Natalie Portman (below) was f*ckin’ bizarre.
Written as oral history, the book details how Lennon, a zombie guitarist in Liverpool, kills and reanimates McCartney, then does the same with Harrison and Starr. They create hits and bloody mayhem across the world, pursued by England’s greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger. They also engage in a battle with Eighth Level Ninja Lord Yoko Ono, and snack on the brains of swooning fans.
No screenwriter or director has been attached yet… But is this something worth making? I can’t even tell, I’m still dumbstruck. I’m gonna have a drink. (I always require an excuse and this will do today.)
