THOMPSON JOINS REINHOLD, PERLMAN, ETC. IN ZOMBIE FLICK "GATEKEEPER"

Lea Thompson will join Judge Reinhold, Ron Perlman, Jana Kramer, and Matthew O'Leary in "Gatekeeper," a zombie comedy/thriller, according to Variety.

Circle of Confusion exec Stephen Emery will produce, with production starting in September.

Isaac Meisenheimer is signed to make his feature directing debut on "Gatekeeper." Meisenheimer also penned the script, in which a simple mistake leaves three friends to defend their town from a zombie outbreak.

"We intend to make a film in the vein of 'Shaun of the Dead' for American audiences," Emery said.

Anyone else sick of zombies?
