Laaaaawd, have mercy. What you’re looking at, if your eyes have adjusted yet, is the first image of Nicholas Hoult’s in Warm Bodies. He’s playing a zombie named R who falls in love with a human girl. It was only a matter of fucking time. Since Twilight first dropped a huge bomb of fuckery on our heads, it seems like Hollywood has been in this constant race to find the next teen/horror/romance phenomenon with shows like The Vampire Diaries and movies like Red Riding Hood (whatever the fuck that was).
I can just barely take a sexy vampire that sparkles and won’t have sex with you and wears pea coats and drives Volvos and puts in hazel contacts when he’s fed on mountain lions or whatever. Fine. But sexy zombies? Really? With the brain-eating and the decomposition and the lack of ability to speak? I mean, I’ve always thought of the zombie genre has really versatile - movies like 28 Days Later and Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead prove the many incarnations a zombie film can take. But like, in doing some light internet research (aka Wiking it) I found the following blurb: ”Director Levine sought to expand the zombie mythology by making the zombies better looking than in other films.” Well. OK.
This movie, like Twilight, is based on a book. It also, like Twilight, is being produced by Summit Entertainment. And it’s co-starring Teresa Palmer or, as I like to think of her, The Australian Kristen Stewart (they seriously look freakishly alike). I really don’t know how to feel about all those components. I haven’t read the book so I don’t know what the tone is, but If the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously it could be an interesting parody or black comedy of sorts in the the teen-horror-romance genre…but something about Nichols Hoult’s smoldering, deadened zombie eyes in this picture tells me that’s probs not the case.
Stellar work as usual, Summit Entertainment.
So this is stupid but DOES ANYONE ELSE JUST NOW SEE THAT IF THEY EVER MAKE A NICK CAVE BIOPIC THAT NICK HOULT COULD TOTES PULL IT OFF
a zombie named R who falls in love with a human girl
a zombie who falls in love with a human girl
a zombie who falls in love
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
blinking in consternation at nick hoult rn
I’ve seen a zombie dildo.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
Everything is the worst.
Jesus. They tried to go to Zombietown, took a left turn, and completely missed the goddamned point of goddamned zombies.
This is a fuck biscuit smothered in No gravy. Horrible. Makes no sense. Dead. He is dead. Stone dead. Decaying flesh. Not sexy. No. Why is this? Who said this was ok?! That person was wrong. That person needs to be suspended from…everything.
Yes, because a zombie falling in love with a living, breathing human girl makes perfect sense.
My face hurts so much, I can’t stop laughing.
I can’t wait until it backfires and he starts eating her flesh
oh god, this is the guy from first series of Skins right? I am disappoint
Entertainment.So

One question, does she love him back? Because I could get down with a stalker zombie..
It really is the end of the world
Hollywood, quit destroying everything I love. Get the hell off my zombies.
Really Summit, REALLY. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LAST THING I LOVE IN THIS WORLD. And KILL it. FUCKING THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
No I refuse to acknowledge that this exists.
Oh, hey, a movie about necrophilia!
This is just ridiculous.
What the fuck. Is. This. Shit. This is awful. This is terrible. This is the very definition of failure at its worst....
NO. NO. I WON’T ALLOW IT. NO. WHERE’S MY BASEBALL BAT.
A zombie romance? Really? Red Riding Hood sucked. Shame on Gary Oldman for being involved in it.
