Not long after acquiring the release rights to the buzzed-about Tragedy Girls, the studio Gunpowder & Sky is now taking a big step forward with their film adaptation of Jeff Hart's romantic zombie comedy action road trip (sounds fun, doesn't it?) novel, Eat, Brains, Love.
Deadline reports that Gunpowder & Sky has lined up Rodman Flender to direct the film adaptation of Eat, Brains, Love from a screenplay that will be written by Mike Herro and David Strauss.
Originally published in 2013, Eat, Brains, Love follows two high schoolers who are infected with a zombie virus, eat a good portion of their friends, and end up fleeing from the government and their teen psychic who is sent to capture them.
A play on words from the title of Elizabeth Gilbert's novel Eat, Pray, Love, Hart's "rom-zom-com," as fans of Shaun of the Dead might refer to it as, was followed by a...

*Updated with the official press release.* We've been excited for Daily Dead readers to watch MacIntyre's Tragedy Girls since our own Heather Wixson saw it at the SXSW Film Festival, saying that it "brilliantly turns the slasher genre on its head" in her five-star review. Thankfully, it looks like horror fans won't have to wait much longer to see it.
Press Release: Los Angeles – July 31, 2017 -- Gunpowder & Sky, the global content studio, today announced the acquisition of the teen-slasher-comedy, Tragedy Girls. The film follows two death-obsessed teens played by Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse) and Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool) who use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small midwestern town into frenzy and cement their legacy as modern horror legends. The acquisition comes just as the film made its Canadian debut at the Fantasia Film Festival.
Tragedy Girls was directed by Tyler MacIntyre, who also co-wrote the script with Chris Lee Hill.

The recently launched Los Angeles-based content creator said on Tuesday it has bought FilmBuff, the pioneering New York-based sales and distribution company.
FilmBuff is rebranded as Gunpowder & Sky Distribution and will operate from Los Angeles and New York under executive vice-president of distribution Janet Brown, former FilmBuff CEO.
The deal adds a distribution element to the in-house development, production and financing capabilities of Gunpowder & Sky, founded by former CEO of Viacom’s music group Van Toffler, former global head of corporate development and strategy at Endemol, Floris Bauer, and Otter Media, a joint venture between At&T and The Chernin Group.
“Janet and her team have a great track record as a collaborative, transparent and forward-looking distributor,” said Gunpowder & Sky president Floris Bauer.
“With the acquisition of FilmBuff we have now realised our early ambition of operating a soup-to-nuts studio, helping to bring to life the vision of our creative partners, and distribute...

Newly minted youth focused studio Gunpowder & Sky, started in January by an ex-Viacom executive, Tony Disanto (formerly of MTV) and author James Frey's Full Fathom Five (also produced the terrible I Am Number Four) are teaming up to bring more teen zombies to the big screen but I doubt Eat, Brains, Love can match the current champ of teen zombie movies: Warm Bodies.
Based on Jeff Hart's novel of the same title, Eat, Brains, Love is the story of Jake and Amanda, unlinkely high school sweethearts who contract a mysterious zombie virus, eat half of the senior class and then set off on a road trip trying to find a cure all the while they are being tracked by Cass, a psychic teen sent to hunt them down.

Gunpowder & Sky (G&S), the digital-first studio founded by former MTV executive Van Toffler, has announced its first project since launching in January: a film adaptation of Eat, Brains, Love -- the zombie road trip novel by Jeff Hart.
G&S will team with independent production studio Diga and digital book publisher Full Fathom Five -- which also creates television shows, films, and video games -- on the forthcoming film. Diga was founded by Tony Disanto, whom Toffler calls his “former work wife and Jersey Shore co-production partner,” while Full Fathom Five is the brainchild of novelist James Frey.
“It’s got everything you need from a movie,” said Disanto in a statement, “high school insanity, zombie sex, action, zombie sex (again) and over the top violence.” Disanto and Toffler also previously produced several teen-oriented horror projects together at MTV including Teen Wolf, Scream, and My Super Psycho Sweet 16.
