Earlier this week the web reported that Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody was producing S. G. Browne’s upcoming novel “Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament,” and the script was being adapted by Geoff LaTulippe (2008 Black List favorite “Going the Distance”).
Well, according to Production Weekly, and probably no surprise to anyone when you think about it, Fox Searchlight is in talks to pick up the upcoming film that’s being billed as a “zombie romantic comedy.” This makes sense and youthful, teen romantic comedy (or 20-something zom com) with Cody’s namebrand on it screams being justly in the Fox Searchlight wheelhouse. It doesn’t sound like our thing, personally, but Searchlight could easily make it profitable we’re sure.
