Disney Channel Cheerleader-Zombie/Love Story/Musical On The Way
I had to keep checking the calendar to make sure this wasn't an April Fools Joke, but it's definitely May & this is definitely happening. THR reports production has started on Zombies, a Disney Channel Original Movie filled with song & dance numbers, to debut in 2018. Meg Donnelly (American Housewife) & Milo Manheim (Ghost Whisperer) will lead this musical set at Seabrook High School. Where all was good until students transfer in from Zombietown. Yeah, Zombietown. Then cheerleader Addison (Donnelly) & zombie football star Zed (Manheim) fall in love. Now these star-crossed lovers must bring their community together. Even after typing all this out it still doesn't seem real. Directed by Jeffrey Hornaday, choreographed by Cristopher Scott & Hornaday (both of Teen Beach Movie), & executive produced by Effie Brown (Star, Dear White People) & Hornaday, the film will also star Trevor Tordjman (The Next Step), Kylee Russell (Jump In), & Carla Jeffery (Curb Your Enthusiasm). Co-producers David Light & Joseph Raso came up with the story & wrote the script with Josh Cagan (The Duff). If you can't tell by my tone throughout this, I think this is a joke. This sounds like one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. In it's defense though, I thought I would never be interested in High School Musical, & it's one of my favorite musicals now. So though I will keep an open mind, I will not be holding my breath. Is there anybody who thinks otherwise on this one? I would love to hear why in the comments below.
