Urban Distribution International has picked up the world sales rights to Zombillénium, a 3D animated horror film from illustrator and artist Arthur de Pins. The $15 million film has opened for sale at Unifrance’s Rendez-vous with French Cinema, which is happening right now.

“The series is set against the backdrop of an amusement/terror park in northern France where zombies, vampires, werewolves and other demons work scaring and thrilling visitors. It is the only place the monsters can live on earth in plain sight of human beings, although no one understands that they are truly monsters and not park employees in disguise.”

ScreenDaily explains that the film is based on a three-part comic from de Pins which sold over 300,000 copies world wide. De Pins explains the thought behind the creation of the series, stating, “It all started with a question: what if vampires, werewolves and zombies were living among us today? Would they be working and paying taxes like everyone else.”

Urban CEO Fréderic Corvez is extremely excited about the project. “It’s the first ever zombie and werewolf movie made for kids. That’s what I love about the concept, it’s a horror movie tailor-made for kids who normally aren’t allowed to watch this sort of stuff,” he exclaims. I get what he’s saying, even though I think movies like Monster Squad, Paranorman, and A Nightmare Before Christmas kinda fit that bill. Still, this could be something incredibly unique and exciting if done right.

De Pins is also known for his many short films that ran the festival circuit, including Revolution of the Crabs, which you can watch below.
