Etan Cohen, one of the town’s hottest comedy scribes, is in negotiations to make his directorial debut on Paramount’s horror-comedy Boy Scouts vs. Zombies.
With an “it’s all in the title” moniker, Boy Scouts centers on a troop that must save a group of girl scouts from a pack of zombies with designs on spoiling a camping trip.
The script was written by Carrie Evans and Emi Mochizuki and made the 2010 Black List of Hollywood’s most-liked screenplays. Paramount picked it up the same year. |THR|
Be honest, you’re just playing shitty-idea Mad Libs now, right? Pride and Predator and Sea Monsters and Zombies and Queefs and Angels and Demons and Vampires and (noun).
Meanwhile, Marc Forster, whom I remind you has directed multiple Oscar-nominated films, has signed on to direct… ugh… Cowboy Ninja Viking for Universal, adapted by Zombieland writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese from the comic of the same name. It’s pretty much exactly like it sounds, because… how could it not be? It’s called “Cowboy Ninja Viking.” I don’t know what idiot’s greenlighting these, but I imagine he’s wearing a Charlie Sheen “WINNING” t-shirt and asking for high fives in a Borat voice when he does it.

Yeah, but as soon as Girl Scouts vs. Mermaids is announced, you’ll be like, “BEST PICTURE!”
Why won’t they pick up my script: “Samurai vs, Zombie vs. Time Men”? I’m not jewish enough is that it Hollywood? I have a brillo head and like shiksas just like youuuuuuuuuu
Maybe Cowboy Ninja Viking is a movie about a tournament or competition like Rock Paper Scissors because if it is about that then…i probably still wouldn’t watch it.
Somewhere, in an apartment with the water & electricity turned off due to non-payment, the creator of “Swamp Thing” is frantically checking his mailbox asking “When’s it gonna be my turn?”. He’d be waiting by the phone, but in this economy it’s either a land-line or off-brand cheese & noodles for the month
I would totally watch “Vampires and Health Care Reform.”
The Zombie Gulag Archipelago
‘In Zombie Soviet Russia, brains eat you!’
Well, which is it? All I ever hear is how Hollywood never does anything original anymore. At least it’s not a reboot or an adaptation.
A. “…Cowboy Ninja Viking for Universal, adapted from the comic by Zombieland writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese…”
B. FUCKING ZOMBIES
touche
When can we get “Cheerleaders vs. Klingons Driving Ice Cream Trucks”?
The mental image of Kilngons driving ice cream trucks makes me giggle uncontrollably. I would watch this always.
Hey, I’d watch the hell out of “Angels and Damons.”
Cowboy Ninja Viking is actually an awesome comic book that. So… STFU
normally, with a title like cowboy ninja viking, i would also assume a huge pile of steaming crap, but the comic book is jarringly good, both in writing and artwork. and the script by the zombie land boy was rejected as too “edgy”. turns out mental illness + boyhood wet dreams + government-sanctioned murder = difficult to write about sensitively. go fig.
I expect Sam Worthington to star in both of those.
When one of these films has a “Starring Paul Rudd” tag added to it Vince will give them both an A when he reviews them

The script pitch for Boy Scouts vs Zombies was just a poster with the title and the tagline: “Be Prepared.”
