Safran confirmed that writers are currently drafting the script. However, production schedules must align with Mangold’s busy slate before cameras can actually roll. Still, that’s good news for fans. We’re working on it, absolutely … The script is being written as we speak. But it’s something we’re excited about.

In 2003, Robert Kirkman unleashed The Walking Dead onto comic book shop shelves. It forever changed zombie lore and mainstream pop culture. What began as a relentless, black-and-white survival marathon eventually morphed into AMC’s monstrous television juggernaut in 2010. Over the past decade and a half, Kirkman’s epic paved the way for endless stories. It proved that audiences cannot get enough of flesh-eating chaos. Heroic Brain-Eaters Take Over Recognizing Kirkman’s storytelling magic early on, Marvel Comics wisely recruited him to orchestrate the legendary Marvel Zombies limited series. Instead of generic background ghouls, Kirkman gleefully transformed Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into grotesque, flesh-obsessed monstrosities.

A feature film adaptation of the notoriously violent comic book series Crossed is coming. The Sadness filmmaker Rob Jabbaz is directing.

Genre fans can now catch their very first preview with the release of a red-band teaser trailer. Dystopian Storyline and Terrifying Villains The dark narrative centers on a mysterious contagion that causes victims to develop a cross-shaped rash on their faces.
