At last! Eight years after Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg coined the term, another filmmaker has finally stepped up to the plate and made a Rom-Zom-Com!

Based on the debut book by Isaac Marion, WARM BODIES tells the tale of ‘R’ (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS’ Nicholas Hoult), a zombie who falls in love with the girlfriend (I AM NUMBER FOUR’s Teresa Palmer) of one of his recent victims.

If you had any doubts as to how they would handle the tone of this unconventional story (ie: would it be marketed straight at the TWILIGHT crowd) then we think you’ll be quite pleased with this first trailer…
