Everyone’s making horror movies these days, including “fake news” supermarket tabloid Weekly World News, known for such iconic pop culture sensations as Bat Boy (seen above).
A Bat Boy horror movie, you say? Let’s hold that thought for now…
Deadline reports that Weekly World News Studios will “develop film, TV and podcast projects, based on the company’s library of over 110,000 articles and 300+ original characters.”
A feature film titled The Zombie Wedding will be the newly-minted studio’s first project, Deadline also reports today, which is said to be a “horror-comedy with music.”
“A young South Carolina couple decides to go through with their long-awaited wedding – during the Zombie Apocalypse! Unfortunately, he’s a zombie and she’s not. Their families are nervous, but the humans prove to be overly judgmental. When the Zombies begin feeling brain deprived, the ceremony takes a turn for the weird. WWN reporters are there to cover this wild wedding, while trying to get out alive.”
Tonya Pinkins (Jelly’s Last Jam, Red Pill) is directing the film.
