New On Blu: Shaun of the Dead
New this week from Universal Studios is a new edition of Shaun of the Dead in a double feature with Hot Fuzz. Bother films were directed by Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
"There comes a day in every man's life when he has to get off the couch... and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it's up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal, Ed (Nick Frost), to save their friends and family from becoming the next entree. Novelist Stephen King gushes
Shaun Of The Dead is "a 10 on the fun meter and destined to be a cult classic" and
Newsweek calls it "a bloody hoot!" It's a screamingly hilarious zomedy that will have you dying with laughter."
The Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz Double Feature is available on Blu-ray and DVD.
Archie Comics Zombie Movie In The Works?
Warner Bros. has just finalized a deal to produce a live action film featuring the Archie Comics characters and this could quite possibly include a zombie movie.
Deadline.com is reporting:
"Just when Hollywood thinks it’s heard it all comes our news that Warner Bros Pictures last night just closed all deals for a WME-packaged live action movie based on the Archie Comics books. Producing are Roy Lee and Dan Lin while Jon Goldwater, Krishnan Menon, and Jon Silk are executive producers. Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) has signed on to direct while Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Glee) is writing."
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa wrote the zombie-themed Afterlife with Archie series which is leading to speculation that the movie adaptation could be set in a Riverdale plagued by the living dead.
Pulling off a live action Archie film, one that actually works while staying true to the comic, always seemed like a task that was more trouble than it would be worth. On the page, Archie works and has worked since 1941, however you just cannot picture it working with real actors on the big screen.
Until now.
Adding the zombie layer on top of Archie's story might be the perfect distraction to get us into the world of Riverdale in a way that makes it work for modern audiences. There's nothing like a horde of ravenous, rampaging zombies to win the viewer over and get them on your character's side.

After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human – setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world."
