Apparently Sony Pictures has recently purchased the film rights to the IDW comic 'Zombies vs. Robots' for Platinum Dunes (The Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street remakes).
JT Petty has taken the comic book and used it has a basis for script titled 'Inherit the Earth'.
"It's tech prowess meets undead mayhem! In this special two-part tale of carnage from the Eisner Award-nominated team of artist Ashley Wood (Popbot) and writer Chris Ryall (The Great and Secret Show), a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies has only one chance at recovery- a team of robots that must protect and clone a lone surviving human baby. They just need to do this amidst the endless hordes of zombies who have been driven rabid by their frustration at inedible bots and their lust to eat the one living brain left on the planet. This special 24-page story will feature two special covers, one zombie and one robot, from artist Wood."
In my opinion this seems like one of those films that if done right, will be entertaining and fun, nothing more than that. But if they go the route of trying to pass it off as an extremely serious horror film I think it will flop terribly, this could be a perfect example of 'just because it works as a comic doesn't mean it will work as a movie'.
