R.L. Stine adaptations are hotter than ever in the wake of Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, and THR reports this morning that an adaptation of Stine’s Zombie Town is next up on the menu.
THR reports, “Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase have entered Zombie Town, a mystery teen romancer based on author R.L. Stine’s book of the same name.”
Zombie Town is expected in theaters and on Hulu next year.
“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 in Zombie Town.
Peter Lepeniotis is directing the film, which is now 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.
