Instead of waiting for the next zombie flick to hit your local theaters, you can now look forward to watching the epidemic spread…on your TV screen. According to Horror-Movies.ca, “Babylon Fields” is now shooting its pilot episode. Director Michael Cuesta (Dexter) and stars Amber Tamblyn (The Grudge 2) have both signed onto the project. The show will be an hour long and is described by CBS as a “sardonic, apocalyptic American comedy-drama where the dead are rising and as a result, lives are regained, families restored and old wounds reopened.” The only other info I can get on the plot is that “the dead return to earth in an attempt to restore old wounds.” Okay. Well, maybe we could ask our Message Board member Dark Spider, who is making an appearance in the pilot as a zombie, for more info. Stay tuned.
