The
LA Times is reporting that writer/director Mike White is the first on a list of candidates rumored to be the possible director for the adaption Seth Grahame-Smith graphic novel. Mike White has written several movies, notably comedies starring Jack Black such as
Orange County,
The School of Rock, and
Nacho Libre as well as episodes of
Freaks And Geeks and
Dawson’s Creek. White has only directed one movie-2007s
Year Of The Dog, a black comedy starring Molly Shannon.
White is by no means locked into the project as of now and reports state that another director, reported as being less likely to direct, Matt Reeves may also have a shot at directing the project. Matt Reeves has directed horror films such as the remake of
Let The Right One In which was retitled
Let Me In and
Cloverfield.
Original director David O. Russell, director of
Flirting with Disaster, left the project last month to focus on a movie adaption of the video game
Drake's Fortune.
Reports state that the folks over at
Lionsgate are keen to get this film out after the success of
AMC's
The Walking Dead pilot proved that people will still watch anything with zombies.
