Lupita Nyong’o (Jungle Book, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Josh Gad (Beauty and the Beast) will star in Little Monsters, a zombie comedy from writer-director Abe Forsythe. Forsythe’s Down Under star Alexander England (Alien: Covenant) is also featured in the film that’s currently in post and will be heading to Cannes.
Sounding a bit like Cooties, “Little Monsters follows Dave (England), a washed-up musician who volunteers to chaperone his nephew’s kindergarten class field trip after taking a serious liking to the fearless schoolteacher, Miss Caroline (Nyong’o). Dave’s intentions are complicated by the presence of the world’s most famous kids’ show personality and competition for Miss Caroline’s affections, Teddy McGiggle (Gad). One thing none of them bargained for, however, is a sudden zombie outbreak. Will Dave rise to the occasion and have a chance at Miss Caroline’s heart, or will the zombies get there first?”
Bloody Disgusting has your first ever look at Nyong’o covered in blood and surrounded by children.
The movie is being produced by Keith and Jess Calder’s Snoot Entertainment (You’re Next, The Guest, Blair Witch) and Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories.
