‘Shrek’ Director Andrew Adamson Will Adapt ‘Zombies vs. Robots’

Andrew Adamson, who co-directed the first two Shrek films before moving into live-action to helm the first two movies in the Chronicles of Narnia franchise, will next direct Sony’s Inherit the Earth.

The Sony film is based on IDW’s Zombies vs. Robots comic book by Chris Ryall and Ashley Wood. Michael Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes will produce along with IDW Publishing and Circle of Confusion.

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where robots have to fight off zombies as they protect (and clone) the last human on Earth. Multiple drafts of a screenplay have been written, the most recent by Oren Uziel (22 Jump Street).
