DreamWorks Animation has hired Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris to adapt the novel Gil’s All Fright Diner for director Barry Sonenfeld.
The novel, written by A. Lee Martinez, features a vampire and a zombie who team up to save the world from zombies lead by an ancient demon and his cheerleader ally, according to Variety.
The pair take over the project from Kirk De Micco, who was the first writer on the movie.
Voris and Reiff previously received story credit on DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda. Their spec script for Robin Hood was rewritten by Brian Helgeland and is set for release May 12 with Ridley Scott directing and Russell Crowe starring.
