FIRST LOOK: Nicholas Hoult As A Zombie In Summit's Romantic-Thriller 'Warm Bodies'
Fresh from the pages of Collider and USA Today comes the first images of Nicholas Hoult as a Zombie in Jonathan Levine's upcoming "zombie love story" Warm Bodies. Normally not a fan of films that are more worthy for tweens, Warm Bodies does seem to offer up a genuine storyline which appears at the least intriguing.
Director Jonathan Levine (50/50) adapted the film from the Isaac Marion novel of the same name. Warm Dodies which is expected to hit theaters on August 10th, 2012, stars Nicholas Hoult as "R", a zombie who falls in love with Julie (Teresa Palmer) after he eats her boyfriend's brains and absorbs his memories. Along with Hoult and Palmer, John Malkovich, Dave Franco, Analeigh Tipton and Cory Hardrict star. The studio behind The Twilight Saga, Summit Entertainment, is backing the film
Plot Synops:
Zombies love people, especially their brains. But R (Nicholas Hoult) is different. He’s alive inde, unlike the hundreds of other grunting, drooling undead — all victims of a recent plague that drove the remaining survivors into a heavily guarded city. Now the Zombies roam about an airport terminal, searching for human prey and living in fear of the vicious Boneys, the next undead incarnation.
One day, R and his best friend M lumber toward the city in search of food. There, R first sets his eyes on JULIE (Teresa Palmer), a beautiful human. Determined to save her—first from the other Zombies and then from the Boneys—R hides her in his home, a cluttered 747 aircraft. Julie is terrified, and R’s grunted assurances of “Not…eat” do little to calm her. But when R begins to act more human than Zombie, coming to her defense, refung to eat human flesh, and even speaking in full sentences, Julie realizes that R is special.
After a few close calls with the Boneys, and with her father mounting an armed search for her, Julie realizes she can’t hide forever. So she sneaks back home, leaving R broken-hearted. Desperate to see her, R decides to comb his hair, stand a little straighter, and impersonate a human long enough to get past the city guards. If only he can prove to the humans that Zombies can change, maybe R and Julie’s love might stand a chance. But with the rampaging Boneys heading toward the city and Julie’s father intent on killing R and his Zombie friends, the stage is set for an all-out battle between the living and the undead.
A genre-bending tale of love and transformation, WARM BODIES is a story about a boy who loves a girl…for more than just her body.
