Eduardo Rodriguez, a name so common it has 11 separate IMDB entries, has signed on to direct Fragile, a name so common it has 15 different entries. And it’s about zombies, which appear in the title or subtitle of 83 different movies.
Based on the graphic novel by Stephano Raffaele, story kicks off after an airborne virus has reduced much of the Earth’s population to feral zombies. A recently undead soldier then teams with a female zombie and a human teenager, racing against time to find a cure before being hunted down by the soldier’s former military unit.
Graphic novel, Jesus, doesn’t anyone read books without pictures anymore? And "feral zombies"? As opposed to what, genteel zombies? Not to mention using a zombie protagonist – as Punchface Thunderdog teaches us, zombies are to be exploded. So unless the hero gets fragged five minutes before the credits roll (which would be kind of awesome, actually), do not want!
"’Fragile’ gives me the opportunity to explore the horror we’re used to in the genre but set in a unique post-apocalyptic world where zombies aren’t the monsters anymore,"
Wow, that’s deep, dude. You won me over. Must be nice to hang out at the coffee shop without actually having to make the coffee now, huh? I wouldn’t get too used to it if I were you. [Variety]
