Horror is no longer taboo.
Yes, Zombies are so hot that Disney is hoping to cash in with their younger audience. Think about this, DISNEY is about to make an undead musical called Zombies.
EW is reporting that Disney has begun production on a music-and-dance-filled movie set in Seabrook, a suburban town preoccupied with uniformity, traditions, and pep rallies. Then, transfer students from Zombietown integrate into Seabrook High School and a cheerleader and zombie football star, Addison and Zed, fall in love. Amid chaos and confusion, it’s up to them to lead their community to coexistence.
Zombies stars Meg Donnelly (American Housewife) as Addison and Milo Manheim (Ghost Whisperer) as Zed. Also starring are Trevor Tordjman (The Next Step) as Addison’s cousin and head cheerleader Bucky, Kylee Russell (Jump In) as Zed’s zombie best friend Eliza and Carla Jeffery (Curb Your Enthusiasm) as Addison’s friend Bree.
The film is directed by Jeffrey Hornaday and choreographed by Christopher Scott and Hornaday, who previously worked together on Teen Beach Movie. Effie Brown (Dear White People) and Hornaday are executive producers.
Zombies is set to premiere in 2018 as a Disney Channel Original Movie.
