The next R.L. Stine adaptation that’s headed our way is Zombie Town, a tale of teens battling the undead that’s based on the Stine-penned horror book that was released in 2012.
Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase lead the cast of the “mystery teen romancer based on author R.L. Stine’s book of the same name,” and Stine has shared the official poster this week.
He teases, “My new movie. In theaters in December.” We don’t have a specific release date at this time, but you can check out the first official poster art for Zombie Town below.
“In Stine’s kid’s book, a quiet town is upended when 12-year-old Mike and his friend Karen watch a horror movie called Zombie Town and unexpectedly see the title characters leap off the screen and chase them through the theater.”
Henry Czerny, Marlon Kazadi and Madi Monroe will also star.
Peter Lepeniotis is directing the film, which was recently shooting in Ontario.
“We are delighted to bring the pages of R.L. Stine’s Zombie Town to the screen and equally thrilled to be working with such an exceptional cast and crew on this production. A three-time Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award winner with book sales of over $500 million, R.L. Stine has a phenomenal track record of crafting stories that engage and entertain audiences,” John Gillespie, Trimuse Entertainment founder and executive producer, said in a statement.
Zombie Town was published in 2012. You can pick up a copy right here.
