Ok. I’m interested.
Clive Barker (writer of Hellraiser and Nightbreed) has been hired by Amazon Studio’s to rewrite the screenplay for Zombies vs. Gladiators.
Zombies AND Gladiators!? Ok. We are VERY interested.
ShockTilYouDrop had the story and reveals that Zombies vs. Gladiators “opens as a shaman who is about to die in the Coliseum casts a spell that unleashes the world’s first zombies. It’s up to a gladiator to stop the spread of the zombie horde and save Rome. Amazon is moving forward to develop the project with Clive Barker at the helm”
Says Barker, "I'm excited by the opportunity to interweave two very rich narrative threads. One of them concerns itself with the reality of the decadence of Rome and its rise and fall. The other is a fantastical narrative element - the living dead. My brief to myself on this project is to give the audience not only zombies they have never seen before but also a Rome they have never seen before. Amazon Studios offered up the dream ticket with this project. In twenty-five years of working in this town, I've rarely had people listen to what I had to say as closely and as carefully as they did and then simply give me the freedom to go do it. Amazon Studios is an innovative creative concept. I am looking forward to providing my own perspective to make 'Zombies vs. Gladiators' a highly commercial and entertaining movie."
Spartacus with zombies. This is one we will definitely be watching out for.
