I know what you're thinking - not another zombie film? But bear with us. This one sounds more interesting than most.

Zombie Apocalypse is a collaboration between El Mariachi producer Carlos Gallardo and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle creator and Heavy Metal magazine publisher Kevin Eastman, to be directed by Chee Keong Cheung. The film combines horror, action, war and mixed martial arts, and is produced by UK based Intense Productions.

What makes this interesting is that it is planned as a multi-media project. As well as being the start of a projrected trilogy of films, it will also be a graphic novel and computer game - an ambitious concept for an unfilmed indie horror movie.

Writer and Director Chee said "I’m incredibly excited and very honoured to be working with both Carlos and Kevin on the production. Their work speaks for itself, both having had incredible success with the franchises they’ve created. They’ve been hugely inspirational. Having been fascinated by zombie and war films I felt a fusion of the two, combined with martial arts, would provide a unique experience for film fans, and the opportunity for a unique action-packed event movie and Carlos and Kevin’s formidable experience in successful genre movies will help me realise that vision."

All three men are at Comic-Con this weekend, where the promotional campaign kicks off. The film itself is due to shoot later this year.
