Thanks to the guys over at Deadline, they have revealed that Paramount Pictures have acquired the rights to Carrie Evans & Emi Mochizukis screenplay, Boy Scouts Vs. Zombies which was on that infamous Black List. Evans & Mochizukis are graduates of the Disney Writing Program, who have also scripted the film College Road Trip.




The script is said to be in the vein of The Goonies, which follows a local boy scout troop that must save a girl scout troop from an outbreak of zombies, while on an overnight camping trip.

Boy Scouts Vs. Zombies will be produced by Todd Garner's Broken Road, Oops Doughnuts partners Andy Fickman and Betsy Sullenger, and Bryan Brucks' Brucks Entertainment.

This sounds like it will be a lot of fun, and surely if its in the vein of The Goonies then its just got to be awesome.

What do you guys think?

I think this sounds stupid. As if we don't have enough crap zombie films......

Ah, okay then? Why would anyone publish a film like this, the name makes it look crap right from the start

It is absolutely amazing how some ideas actually get funding. Someone, somewhere, read the screen play and said YES!! We have to make this...

sounds gay,first it probably will be no gore..second boy scouts don't have a chance going against zombies.

The remake of Red Dawn gets shelved but this is going forward?

[Trioxin Martini]

It'll probably end up as a straight to DVD release. Move along, move along...

[Morbidfilm]

Oh yea.......just what we need, .another zombie comedy.

This sounds like it's going to be cheesy and dumb but I think the basic idea could be alright if done right. Of course the name would need to be changed. Boys Scouts vs Zombies is just, well, silly. But don't the Scouts learn survival and hunting? If the cheese is removed and some effort put into it it could be an interesting idea. I don't think I've seen anything like it before. I mean, what would a group of Scouts or Guides do if they were out camping and a ZPAW broke out?

I won't be holding my breath though.

Be careful what you say about the Scouting program!

DJ I expect you to keep an eye on this.

I was a Scout leader for years and both my sons are Eagle Scouts.

But do they have the coveted Zombie Killer merit badges? I hear the requirements are nothing short of apocalyptic.

Nope but they both do have rifle shooting, shotgun, and archery.

We camped year round rain or shine.
It really sucks putting up tents in the dark when it is raining and cold.
I never allowed the use of girl-scout water for starting fires.
