Harold and Kumar Director Takes on Zombie Comedy
Another interesting announcement made this evening from the AFM is THE CORPORATE ZOMBIE KILLERS, which follows a group of temps that try to escape a corporate office park after an outbreak of a zombie virus. LA-based Blowtorch has acquired James Biederman and John Plummer’s horror comedy script and attached Danny Leiner of HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE fame to direct. “Once in a lifetime, a script comes along which is beautiful, devastating and life-changing,” Leiner told Screen Daily. “TCZK is none of those, but it is an amazingly hilarious, satirical and action-packed ride in the undying and often overlooked world of corporate zombies.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
