Zombies. You love them. You fear them. You want to be them in movies. There’s no shortage in popularity for the undead, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. A new flick is on the way celebrating this flesh-eating phenomenon. Check out the details right here.

Screen Daily reports that Exhibit A Pictures, the outfit behind the new documentary The Life and Times of Paul the Psychic Octopus, is now stretching its tentacles into zombie land.

Director Alexandre O. Philippe has revealed that he is already at work on Doc of the Dead, a thorough new film that will explore zombies on screen in all their manifestations, with shooting currently under way. Philippe has already spoken to Shaun of the Dead‘s Simon Pegg for the film and is shortly to interview zombie guru George Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, etc.) on camera.
