Director Ben Hibon and writer Haylar Garcia are looking to breathe new life into the zombie genre with the animated post-apocalyptic feature A.D. Bernie Goldmann (George Romero’s Land of the Dead, 300) and Tarik Heitmann (The Cursed) are producing.

Hibon’s tells Zombie Info:

We set out to create a visual universe that distinguished itself from the classic zombie formula. Translating Haylar’s script into animation was the first step to making this project unique. Animation very rarely ventures into mature and dark territories. It’s very important to define a strong and bold look for this movie, create our own visual benchmark. A.D. has definitely its very own identity that serves the purpose of the movie; it’s stylised and graphical, but very gritty and textured just like the reality and the world the story is set in.

The project is far from complete, but you can peep the following trailer now:
