Zombies. They’re everywhere, man. Commercials. The Senate. You name it! Now they’re ready to go from the page to the screen as Deadline is reporting that Eurythmics co-creator and record producer Dave Stewart is moving forward on Zombie Broadway, a feature adaptation of his 2008 Virgin Comics graphic novel about an undead uprising on the Great White Way.
Along with The Butler producers Pam Williams and David Jacobson, Stewart has tapped Cole Haddon (NBC’s “Dracula”) to script and Spun helmer Jonas Akerlund to direct the horror musical in which a group of Broadway performers battle zombies with the power of showtunes.
Stewart created the original Zombie Broadway graphic novel with David Harris and Christine Schenley. He’ll executive produce the musical, described as The Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Bullets Over Broadway, and has already written the music with Michael Bradford.
