Dreamworks and Transoformers guys eyeing XOMBIE - Blu-ray Forum

Lord_Stewie · 09-24-2009, 01:37 PM

HEY,

Searched this before starting a thread, and couldn't find it.

So another Zombie flick:

Quote:

Wow, zombies sure are popular, huh? Who knew being undead would ever become a trendy thing in Hollywood. The latest resurrected popular kid might be Dirge, a zombie cop name “Xombie” and the star of a comic book that’s based on an online comic strip by James Farr. According to THR, Dreamworks and “Transformers” and “Star Trek” guys Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are currently in negotiations to bring Farr’s “Xombie” to the big screen.

So what’s it all about? Farr’s official site explains it thusly:

Dirge is an undead man with a mind of his own, who struggles to find the meaning of unlife – all the while fighting to protect human lives from evil zombies!

So what's your take on this?

Enjoy.

It's different. I mean, will this "Xombie" want to eat the living at any point?

Yeah I was wondering how different this one from others. The idea is cool though.

So now, not only have vampires had a comeback, but now Zombies. At least it sounds like a different take on them though.

assydingo · 09-24-2009, 02:17 PM

Watched a few of those but it's been so long I barely remember them.

My friend was a bigger fan than me. He's really into zombies.

newtype · 09-24-2009, 02:30 PM

Sounds interesting, not a big zombie fan though.

Lord_Stewie · 09-24-2009, 02:52 PM

Zombies and Vamires....

I want to see a movie with both in a fight.

We have a vampires vs zombie film in the works with my studio. But, if you want a cheesy film to look at, I'd suggest you check this out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408309/

I only made it 10 minutes out of the 75 because they just kept driving and driving and I was like; "Oh, MY GOD!" If you spend 10 minutes driving and there's only an hour and 5 minutes left, it's not going to be pretty.

I'd pass on this one. I want to see something good.

Sounds like the driving sequence at the beginning of Manos: The Hands of Fate.

LOL, I've always heard of Manos, but I've never seen it. But, seriously, when you see a film called Vampires Vs Zombies; even if it's a straight to video film you would atleast know what you are getting yourself into. There was no real vampire fighting zombie stuff going on. I did finally sit down and watch it and seriously, the ending is a big WTF.

I was recently a zombie-werewolf extra in a movie a friend of mine did.

Logan
P.S. yes, you read that correctly, zombie-werewolf.

Why the F is there a raptor in that picture?? lol

So this guy is undead, yet fights other undead to save humans (with amazing weapons, a chain and shovel ?), and there are also raptors and wolves he's got to deal with as well.... Or are they on his side.... I'm confused
