Zombie Beatles Are Taking Over

Imagine all the people...flocking to see a Beatles' film about the band as zombies. If this sounds like a movie you would be interested in seeing, well Double Features has you covered. Recently the film studio has optioned Alan Goldsher's upcoming novel, Paul is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion, to make into a film.

The story is a reimagining of the history of The Beatles as zombies with Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. It's an oral history of the band and tells how John Lennon infected the other bandmates to create one of the "liveliest and deadliest" bands around. While creating bloody hits everywhere, England's greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger, is chasing after them. They also come across a certain Eighth Level Ninja named Lord Yoko Ono.

 The plotline is very similar to the latest trend of zombie and undead material literature that has come across over the past couple of years. Books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. Zombie films have always been interesting and to make a "Zombie Rock" film seems like a great idea.  But before we get too excited, let's see how good the book is when it  comes out June 22, 2010 (tentatively).
