Here’s news of a new zombie movie being developed, and this time it looks like the undead may be going up against… knights? A big-screen version of the book STRONGHOLD could make it to cinemas in a project being directed by debut helmer, though long time video game developer, Jason Kingsley. The film is being developed by 2000 AD (the peeps behind the new Judge Dredd movie DREDD), Rebellion and upstart Amber.
Here’s the plot:
When King Edward I of England built Grogen Castle in Wales, he proclaimed it the strongest fortress in the British Isles; impregnable to assault, armed with devices so fiendish that would-be attackers would die in multitudes. But the Welsh have had enough of English tyranny. Armed with druid magic and an ancient, mystical artifact, they summon an army to their banner even the most superstitious of Edward’s soldiers could never have imagined. Soon, Grogen Castle finds itself besieged by forces forged from splintered bone and rotten flesh. Just how long can this Stronghold hold out against the zombie horde?
What do we think?
