Marc Foster will be directing the big-budget movie and the script was written by J. Michael Straczynski and Matt Carnahan. The movie is scheduled to begin shooting in June in London, Matla and other locations around the world.
My husband is a huge zombie genre fan and read this book a while ago. He said it was pretty good and has been trying to get me to read it for years, maybe it's time I finally catch up on it.
