Nordling here.
Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company, along with Sony Pictures, has scooped up rights to ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS, a comic book series by Chris Ryall and Ashley Wood, according to Deadline. I've not read the comic, so I can't speak for the quality, but the title alone, and the production company behind it, makes me sigh and shake my head.
I'd be happy to be proved wrong, and zombies and robots, taken by themselves, are fine by me. Maybe together they will be like chocolate and peanut butter. Or they could be like sirloin steak and motor oil. Too early to tell at this point. At least it's not a sequel. Potentially it could be a really interesting and thrilling franchise. The art that I've seen online looks promising, and the premise, a young girl protected by robots and pursued by intelligent zombies, could be fun. But so far Platinum Dunes hasn't given us any work to get overly excited about.
Nordling, out.
