We’ve gotten word today that Paramount Pictures has landed a director for their upcoming film Boy Scouts vs. Zombies. Christopher Landon, who has written the films Blood and Chocolate, Disturbia, Paranormal Activity 2-5 and directed the upcoming Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones will be taking the helm on this one. Read on below for more info about this film.
According to Deadline, Paramount Pictures has tapped Christopher Landon to direct Boy Scouts Vs. Zombies as his followup to Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, which the studio releases January 3.
Landon wrote and directed that sequel after writing Paranormal Activity 3 and PA 4, and co-writing Paranormal 2. He will then take on Boy Scouts Vs. Zombies, and will do a director’s pass on the Black List script by Carrie Evans and Emi Mochizuki before production begins in the spring. That script was rewritten by Lona Williams and Etan Cohen. What’s it about? Think it through. The film is produced by Todd Garner and his Broken Road Productions, Andy Fickman and Betsy Sullenger of Oops Doughnuts, and Bryan Brucks and his Brucks Entertainment. Broken Road’s Sean Robins is exec producer. Langdon steps up to bigger budget fare after years of doing microbudget films at Paramount and working before that with Adam Goodman at DreamWorks on Disturbia.
