The Beatles return... as zombies


Iconic British band The Beatles are set to appear in upcoming horror flick, Paul Is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion.

The adaptation of Alan Goldsher's book sees a zombie John Lennon kill his bandmate Paul McCartney and the rest of the group who all come back as the undead.

The fab four go on to kill and eat the brains of fans while trying to evade their nemesis, zombie killer Mick Jagger.

Stacey Sher, of production company Double Feature, said: "I am a huge Beatles fan like the rest of the world and Alan's mash-up, which really showcases his love of music history and his appreciation of the zombie world, is a fun, funny read.

"How can you not love a book where Jesus agrees with zombie John Lennon, that the Beatles are in fact bigger than him?" 

The lady has a point.

The project is the latest in a string of zombie productions in the pipeline which see classic novels being reinterpreted as flesh-eating monster movies. In fact, V For Vendetta and Star Wars actress Natalie Portman is working on something similar - a zombie adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.

Nope, we're not kidding.
