Variety is reporting that Lionsgate is teaming up with comic book publisher Double Take, a subsidiary of video game developer Take-Two Interactive Software, to adapt Z-Men, the flagship title of the recently launched Night of the Living Dead comic book universe.
“We’re delighted to expand our relationship with our friends at Take-Two by partnering with their comic book arm, Double Take, in bringing Z-Men to the big screen,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger. “We continue to diversify our portfolio with films adapted from novels, video games and board games and look forward to translating 2T’s graphic novel into a spine-chilling film for moviegoers and comic book fans alike. It is yet another example of the strong underlying intellectual property on which our film and television content is based.”
Z-Men is one of ten comic book series launched by Double Take, all of which take place in the world of George A. Romero’s zombie classic.
