Amazon MGM Studios has landed the zombie comedy film package I Used to Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale, with Ryan Gosling attached to produce the feature alongside Jessie Henderson, his partner in the production banner General Admission. This project falls under their newly-signed first-look deal with Amazon MGM.
Adam and Daniel Cooper, aka the Cooper Twins, wrote the unpublished short story and will write the script adaptation for the film. Details are being kept under wraps, but I Used to Eat Brains has been described as being set in a “post-post-apocalyptic” world in which former zombies are trying to reintegrate into mainstream society. Ryan Gosling is not, as of yet, attached to star in the film, nor has a director been tapped.
Daniel and Adam Cooper have written and directed several award-winning short films, which have received acclaim at such festivals as Cannes, TIFF, HollyShorts and Hamptons. This zombie comedy marks their first feature film project.
Gosling’s next project is also at Amazon MGM: He is starring in and producing Project Hail Mary, the long-awaited adaptation of the sci-fi novel from The Martian‘s Andy Weir, which Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directing from a script by Drew Goddard.
