I'm sure you all remember our previous report about the upcoming Jonathan Levine's adaptation of Isaac Marion's novel Warm Bodies, so by now you know that Nicholas Hoult is already on board to play “an existentially tormented zombie named “R.”
Well, this zombie has the reason to be satisfied, because he's going to have a great company! According to the latest reports, lovely Teresa Palmer is in talks to join the project!
So, Hoult will play “an existentially tormented zombie named “R”, as he begins an unlikely friendship with the girlfriend of one of his victims, and starts a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies, and maybe the whole lifeless world.”
As you already guess, that human girlfriend will be Palmer. Her character is the daughter of one of the “military leaders who is tiring of a life of constantly fighting off zombie attacks.” Director Levine is responsible for this story, while Erik Feig and Gillian Bohrer will oversee the project for Summit.
And now, here's a description of Isaac Marion's upcoming Warm Bodies novel: “On Big Sawyer island, life is as steady as the routine of the lobstermen who leave with the tide each morning and return with their haul each night. But for forty-year-old New Yorker Julia Bechtel, life and what's important in it are about to be forever altered when she survives a terrible boat accident en route to the island.
Now, in the company of her aunt and daughter, Julia finds herself feeling strangely connected to the tragedy's other survivors – Noah, a divorced lobsterman, and Kim, a young woman rendered mute since her rescue – and newly outraged at the state of her marriage to a domineering man. Seeing the world with new eyes, Julia vows to embrace life with all of its joys and uncertainties. And the journey begins on Big Sawyer.”
