AFM ’11: First Image From Jonathan Levine’s ‘Warm Bodies’!
I’m really looking forward to Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies. I think he’s a great new talent with a deft handle on a lot of tones that most directors his age would turn mawkish.
This new image out of AFM confirms that Summit is intent on making a bid to the Twilight audience with this film. With all of the success the franchise has had, I can’t blame them. But it’s okay to expect more out of this movie. I recently spent some time on the film’s set – and while I can’t say ANYTHING yet – everything indicates that it’s far better and more interesting than anything Twilight.
The film stars Nicholas Hoult, Rob Corddry, Theresa Palmer and John Malkovich. Based on the book by Isaac Marion the story “follows an existentially tormented zombie named “R” who begins an unlikely friendship with the girlfriend of one of his victims. It starts a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies, and maybe the whole undead world.”

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
