Thom Beers Bringing Chopper Zombie to the Big Screen!

[Terrance Mulloy]

Executive producer Thom Beers, who is credited for creating the incredibly successful Discovery channel shows "Deadliest Catch," "Monster Garage," and "Ice Road Truckers", is producing his first feature film, titled Chopper Zombie. Check out this concept: a motorcycle builder refuses to sell his formula for a new superfuel to a dangerous corporation; when a team of thugs drowns him in his own toxic creation, he rises from the dead with a score to settle. The film is based on a graphic novel being published by Devil's Due that will debuting at Comic-Con next week. While the comic is being written by Todd Livingston and drawn by Scott Keating, no writer or director has been announced yet for the film.

Thom Beers commented on his interest in this project. "We've been doing series like 'Biker Build-Off' and 'Monster Garage' because I love choppers. My son Max, who's ten, loves zombies. He told me that choppers and zombies go together - so, we gotta do it! Choppers and zombies. You can already check out a preview and some more information over on the comic's official website: chopperzombie.com.

Zombie revenge movie.

Before Romero tweaked the mythos, the zombie revenge story was pretty much the most popular approach to the genre, at least in short stories and comic books. Pretty much a standby in the morality plays of EC Comics like Tales From the Crypt.

Some dude does someone wrong and eventually the pissed-off corpse shows up on his door step...

Oh, man, I loved the days when there was originality. I miss them so.

I hope this turns out better than Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town.

Man, what a disappointment that film was.
