"Underworld" writers tapped for "Zombies"
LOS ANGELES/BERLIN (Hollywood Reporter) - The Red 5 comic "ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction" is another step closer to the big screen.
"Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" screenwriters Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain have been hired to adapt the comic for production company Benderspink.
The comic, created by Kevin Grevioux ("Underworld"), follows an elite team of soldiers sent on a covert operation into hostile territory in the Middle East to stop what they soon discover to be a government-created army of the undead.
Benderspink continues to mine the comic world for material; it has "Y: The Last Man" in development at New Line, "Pet Robots" at Disney and "The Ghouly Boys" at Mandate.
