Produced in 2009 and directed by Ricardo Islas (Night Fangs, Frankenstein: Day of the Beast) and starring Khotan, Adriana Cataño, Roberto Montesinos and Monika Munoz, The Zombie Farm is a Maya Entertainment release.
"Rocque (Roberto Montesinos) is a spirit priest, or santero, who's asked by local resident Ana Maria (Monika Munoz) for protection from her abusive husband. When Rocque tells Ana that he's powerless to help her, she turns to rival priestess Mama Luna (Nadia Rowinsky). The priestess helps Ana kill her husband, but then adds him to her collection of zombie slaves. Now, Rocque has to keep Ana, and himself, from succumbing to the same zombie fate."

Spain-based Filmax Entertainment, makers of [Rec] and Beyond Re-Animator, will be adding a zombie film film to their filmography with The Returned, to be directed by Manuel Carballo.

Manuel Carballo's previous work includes Exorcismus (aka La posesion de Emma Evans) and The Last of the Just.
The Returned will be an English language production.
Looks like Craig Gillespie, director of Lars and the Real Girl and the 2011 remake of Fright Night, is in the lead, at least for this week, to direct the film version of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Deadline.com reports that "Gillespie is frontrunner to direct" however Lionsgate has said there is "no deal yet".
But it's really the fact that Gillespie directed the upcoming horror comedy Fright Night that has us thinking he's the right man for the job. The remake of the 1985 classic is sure to be a hit thanks to its three powerhouse leading men: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell and Doctor Who's David Tennant. We just like to think of Fright Night's ironic edge as a primer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Having seen the underwhelming Lars and the Real Girl as well as Mr. Woodcock, another title on Gillespie's filmography, we can't share MTV's confidence or enthusiasm about this news but, no matter who ends up in the director's chair, we're going along for the ride.

More zombies will be invading network TV this fall with The CW's pick up of the original spec pilot The Awakening, a drama from William Laurin and Glenn Davis, the Canadian writer-producer team of The Listener, 1-800-Missing and the TV adaptation of John Woo's Once A Thief.
The Awakening will focus on the relationship between two young sisters who come of age during a zombie apocalypse.
The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog reports that the decision by Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell to drop out of the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies film came down to a simple matter of budget... or a lack thereof.
“I thought at $40 to $50 million was a bargain price to make a “Sherlock Holmes”-style period action romance that happened to have zombies in it,” Russell said. “The studio budgeted it as a genre zombie movie and gave me $25 to $28 million. I was like, that’s not cool."
Fresh on the heels of multiple Academy Award nominations for his film The Fighter, including his own nod for Best Director, Russell just might have any easier time getting the budgets he wants now.

Each 3D environment is customizable with mix-and-match objects, themed backdrops and even music to best fit each pet zombie's personality and tastes.

Max Brooks, the bestselling author of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, has just released a new short story via The Daily Beast site - The Extinction Parade. This time around, Brooks takes a look at the zombie apocalypse as seen through the eyes of vampires.
I have heard it said that the more memories one acquires, the less room the mind has for conscious thought. I cannot speak for others, but at my age, after the remembrance of so many lifetimes crammed into my ancient skull, I do suffer from occasional lapses of 'preoccupation'. It was one of those lapses, lost the recent past, and unconsciously licking my lips, that I descended from my omniscient perch, rounded the church's corner and practically collided with one of them. It was a man, or had been one recently. The right side of his body was still smooth and supple. The left side had been badly charred. Dark, viscous fluid oozed from numerous, steaming wounds.
Just released on DVD today - The Zombie Farm.
