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.

"A travel writer takes a job with a shady publishing company in New York, only to find that she must write a guide to the city - for the undead!
Because of the disaster that was her last job, Zoe is searching for a fresh start as a travel book editor in the tourist-centric New York City. After stumbling across a seemingly perfect position though, Zoe is blocked at every turn because of the one thing she can't take off her resume --- human.
Not to be put off by anything -- especially not her blood drinking boss or death goddess coworker -- Zoe delves deep into the monster world. But her job turns deadly when the careful balance between human and monsters starts to crumble -- with Zoe right in the middle."

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."
