I'm With Zombie

Adam Marcus will direct a remake of the Val Lewton produced Jacques Tourneur directed, 1943 classic "I Walked With A Zombie"--that starred actor James Ellison according to Variety.



Marcus and Debra Sullivan, his writing partner on the Val Kilmer film Conspiracy.focuses on a private tutor who discovers a terrifying family secret while working at the ancient estate of a New Orleans businessman.

The original was a forerunner of the genre and is considered one of the most valuable films in the RKO Pictures library.

RKO is looking into remake other classics like The Body Snatcher, Bedlam and Five Came Back--Overseeing the hefty project is a very busy Andy Flickman--who says "Adam and Deborah have created a chilling screenplay that along with Adam’s vision would make Lewton proud".

Marcus has experience with undead horror as helmer of Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday...
