Summit Entertainment has revealed the first promo image for its upcoming tween zombie romancer Warm Bodies. The shot features Teresa Palmer (I Am Numer Four) as human protagonist Julie embracing Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) as her undead boyfriend R.
You can tell Hoult is a zombie because the T-shirt underneath his American Rag hoodie is torn at the collar. I know … not exactly “The Walking Dead.” But, imagine the despair you’d feel living in a zombie apocalypse where the dead have returned to cut themselves and swoon over high school girls who listen to Paramore.
Based on Isaac Marion’s debut novel, Warm Bodies centers on the unlikely love affair between a zombie and the girlfriend of one of his victims. The film, written and directed by Jonathan Levine (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane), costars John Malkovich (Jonah Hex), Dave Franco (“Scrubs”), Rob Corddry (Hot Tub Time Machine), Lizzy Caplan (Cloverfield) and model-turned-actress Analeigh Tipton (“Hung”).
So are we to assume that Summit Entertainment is promoting necrophilia through this movie? Just a question!!
