So much for Platinum Dunes taking a break from the genre! Word of another new project from the team of Brad Fuller and Andrew Form has broken online, and the good news is that it’s not a remake or a sequel.
According to Deadline Hollywood’s fixation with robots and the undead has fueled a spec package deal that includes underlying rights to IDW’s Zombies vs. Robots.
JT Petty has used the Ashley Wood/Chris Ryall-created comic as the basis for a spec script called Inherit the Earth. Not clear yet whether that will be the title or not, but we’ll keep an eye on things.
“The film focuses on a young girl who is the last survivor on earth. She is protected by a group of robots from a pack of zombies that are intelligent and evolved.”
The film will be a co-production among Platinum Dunes, Circle of Confusion, and IDW and will be produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, Andrew Form, Dave Alpert, and Rick Jacobs.
