I hadn’t heard of MONSTER ISLAND before today, but Ryan Rotten claims it’s some kind of phenomenon that began on the internet as a serialized novel, then continued with two more volumes, MONSTER NATION and MONSTER PLANET – all written by David Wellington, and all subsequently available in print form. You can check them out online HERE. (No word if MONSTER SOLAR SYSTEM is nigh.)
Anyway, Zero Hour Films is in the early stages of bringing MONSTER ISLAND to the big screen. Dig on the synopsis written up by Shock Till You Drop; the story sounds like something Quentin Tarantino would come up with after a bender.
A plague has swept through the Big Apple turning all residents into zombies. Only two of the undead on the island have intelligence and harness psychic abilities. They become leaders in a zombie fray that ensues when a team of soldiers comprised of girls is sent to NYC from Africa with a United Nations weapons inspector.
Zero Hour Films is headed by Stephen Susco, who wrote both GRUDGE movies. He compares this to 300, and claims it will “blow people out of their chairs.” I was once blown out of my chair, but that’s a dirty, filthy story that doesn’t belong on a family website like this one.
