Santa vs. Zombies

In one of the weirder stories of the day, Hollywood Gang, the fellas behind 300 have optioned the rights to the graphic novel "The Last Christmas," written by actor-comedian Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan. Now, I know what you're thinking, we've had enough of shitty generic Christmas movies that more than likely star Tim Allen, but rest assured, this one has a little bit of a kick: The story follows Santa Claus as he withdraws from normal life and turns his back on Christmas. When he emerges from seclusion, he has to find a way to save the world, and Christmas, from being overrun by demons, zombies and other bad guys. From what I can tell, the story takes place after the Apocalypse, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the zombies and demons came from. Still, can't wait to see how this turns out. It's about time we had a fat guy with a beard as an action hero!

Extra Tidbit: Brian Posehn played the Wedding Minister in FANTASTIC 4: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER.
