Summit Entertainment seems determined to keep that their patented supernatural-romance box office formula going even after the demise of THE TWILIGHT SAGA. Just check out these images from WARM BODIES, the adaptation of Isaac Marion’s novel, about a zombie whose dawning self-awareness leads to a relationship with a living woman, which in turn leads to a conflict with his zombie brethren (think of it as a “Walking Dead” version of Romeo and Juliet).
Jonathan Levine (ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE) wrote and directed the film adaptation. Nicholas Hoult stars as the anonymous amnesiac zombie hearthrob, who remembers only his first initial, R; Teresa Palmer plays Julie, the woman with whom he becomes enamored. John Malkovich co-stars as General Grigio.
WARM BODIES is scheduled to open on February 1, 2013.
