IDW has announced that Sony Pictures as optioned their popular comic series, Zombies vs Robots.
The series, created by writer Chris Ryall and artist/painter Ashley Wood, was launched in 2006.
Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes along with IDW and Circle of Confusion will co-produce the film.
In the comic, the last remaining human in the world is protected from a massive zombie horde by an arsenal of robots. However, when the robots accidentally reveal the human infant’s presence to the zombies, a massive battle ensues which becomes an all-out battle for the survival of mankind.
While I’m sadly getting a little burned out on how popular zombie films have become as of late, I think this one could have some entertaining potential. This is one film where I think Michael Bay’s involvement might not be the worst idea. That said I hope he maintains a producers stance and doesn’t decide to direct.
