ZOMBIES TO EAT NEIGHBORS ON THE BIG SCREEN

Man, this could be so much fun. But only if it takes the "every monster possible" approach of the games. If it's just a cash-in zombie comedy, it's not going to be worth much. Also, John Darko has the most obnoxiously self-aggrandizing IMDB page ever.

I used to love the game, but this is about 15 years too late.  Is there anything new they can bring to the table, post Shaun of the Dead/Zombieland?    My guess is that they'll tame it down and make it a kid's movie, a la Aliens in my Attic or some such.

It also reads like it was written by a chimp.

I have fond memories of playing this with friends after school and laughing at some of the absurdity on display.  If the movie maintains the tongue-in-cheek tone it could be worthwhile.  

Similarly, does anyone remember a game called The Haunting where you'd play as a ghost trying to haunt a family out of a home?  I remember good times with that one as well.

Here's hoping that giant baby makes to the big scree (am i remembering it right? its been far too long); also, there's no way the trampoline fence jumping surpasses its use in Shaun of the Dead.

Ugh, after reading that guy's IMDB profile, I want his career to fail.

I loved this game as a kid, it was just so bizarre and delightfully weird(Giant babies!). They should really do a re-make of it, along with the Mutant League games.

If I remember correctly, Simon Pegg said in an interview that the trampoline gag was in homage to the game.

Wow. I now have little hope for this film. What a clown.

A pity. I definitely think there is a place for this film if they kept all the monsters. Especially the giant babies. But I can't imagine the man who wrote that bio (and there can be no doubt he wrote it himself) would be able to get enough money to make such a film or execute it with any dignity even if he did.
