Warm Bodies is a zombie love story based on a book by Isaac Marion. Directed by Jonathan Levine the film stars Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) as the zombie known as R and Teresa Palmer.
This new promo poster has surfaced and at the moment it looks like a cross between Twilight and Beastly. Not that impressive although some people out there will like it.
Still early days on this one and the synopsis shows potential.
R is a young man with an existential crisis – he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. After experiencing a teenage boy’s memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and strangely sweet relationship with the victim’s human girlfriend. Julie is a blast of color in the dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. His decision to protect her will transform not only R but also his fellow Dead, and perhaps their whole lifeless world. Scary, funny, and surprisingly poignant, WARM BODIES is about being alive, being dead, and the blurry line in between.
The film is due out on 10th August 2012.
