Zombie fans, listen up! A fresh serving of brainy comedy is coming your way. Ryan Gosling's General Admission production studio, in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, will be tackling a new ‘un-deadly' challenge: turning the Cooper Twins' popular short story, I Used to Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale, into a full-blown film. Yet, this isn't your typical zombie movie. This quirky tale is set in a post-apocalyptic world where former brain-chompers are now turning toward a healthier lifestyle with Kale! Exciting, isn't it?
A New Twist on Zombie Tales
The original short story offers a different take on surviving the zombie world. It's not about humans surviving zombie attacks, and it's not about the zombies wanting to munch on human brains. Instead, it's a unique tale of zombies trying to adapt to a new ‘salad-eating' lifestyle! How's that for a change?
Just like the Unknowns
The suspense is real as there are no solid details about the production's casting. The possibility of Gosling starring in the film was initially rumored, but recent updates quashed those speculations. Furthermore, it remains to be seen if the dynamic Cooper Twins will weave the storyline for the big screen adaptation.
The Fall Guy's Tremors
This news surges in after Gosling's recent action-comedy film The Fall Guy had its own roller coaster ride. Though the film didn't set the box office on fire, don't let those numbers trick you – The Fall Guy has become somewhat of a cult favorite, attracting masses of devoted viewers with its thrilling narrative and high-stakes stunts.
Moreover, the film's stunt performances sparked a conversation about celebrating the daring endeavours of these stunt artists. Academy CEO Bill Kramer hinted at a possible new Oscar category recognizing stunt performers' hard work.
The Missing Star Mystery
In The Fall Guy, Gosling gets you on the edge of your seat as battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers. Colt is dragged back into the chaotic world of stunts when a mega-movie's star mysteriously disappears. He performs mind-boggling stunts while trying to win back his ex's heart, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt).
As the story unfolds, Colt finds himself tangled in a dangerous criminal plot, putting his life in jeopardy. The film also features Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham.
