Prepare Yourselves For 'Boy Scouts Vs. Zombies'
If you were ever a boy scout, you might remember that the certification process for eagle scout was incredibly grueling. You had to learn all those knots, go to the Scoutmaster Conference, and strike down the walking dead with a well aimed blow to the head. Wait a minute... one of those things seems out of place. Luckily, smiting a flesh-eater won't seem so foreign to the scout curriculum when Paramount releases its upcoming horror-comedy 'Boy Scouts vs. Zombies.' The film, whose first draft has been written by Carrie Evans and Emi Mochizuki (the team behind 'College Road Trip'), will center on a group of heroic young scouts who must save a girl scout troop besieged by a horde of zombies during a camping trip. Comedy writer Etan Cohen, who's pen has touched the likes of 'Tropic Thunder,' 'Madagascar 2,' and recently 'MIB III,' is currently negotiating to make 'Scouts vs. Zombies' his directorial debut. No word yet on when shooting will begin.
Just when you thought zombie movies were dead, they slowly stagger back to their feet and shamble on. We've got a new 'Resident Evil' movie and 'World War Z' due out later this year, and oddball z-romance 'Warm Bodies' set for release early next year just to name a few. As much as I worry 'Boy Scouts vs. Zombies' will merely ride the coattails of this ceaseless trend and not venture past its titular gimmick, and as much as the writing team instills little confidence, part of me really likes the idea of a group of kids facing down a supernatural threat of this kind. There is something so wonderfully 80s about that construct. Hell, 'Boy Scouts vs. Zombies' could end up being the next 'Monster Squad' ('Monster Troop?'). Again, this is all stabbing in the dark until we actually see the film. The one thing I can tell you from my few years as a boy scout is that nothing so interesting as a zombie attack ever happened during our jamborees... nope, just lots of super boring canoeing.
What do you guys think? Does this concept have legs? Do you think zombies will have the same unnatural craving for Thin Mints that we do?

I hope it's like 'Monster Squad' but only darker...

If they make it like Attack The Block this could be awsome

If they make the Scouts like real Scouts, with way to much knowledge about survival skills and not a bunch of whiny pansies this could be awesome. I was a scout and we had some crazy stuff go down on us but we always made it through. Minus blood and the occasional body part.

If the opportunity is taken advantage of Scouts have the ability to become well trained with firearms, knives, emergency survival and EMT level first aid. I'd welcome any Zed mob that feels it can overrun a reservation.

Time to let the dead stay dead for a few years before another bad movie. This sounds funny. Entertainment has degenerated to the level of changing colors and cartoon sounds. I certainly don't expect this to be an emotionally charged drama but i'm starting to miss movies with substance. I'd usually say relax and enjoy but i'm tired of junk being treated as entertainment. This just sounds like more junk. Next story: An old folks home is attacked by the living dead and it's up to the geriatric staff to fight off the hordes of flesh eaters and get their meds on time. How many variations of crap do we need to watch before the walk back to the front of the excitement line is too far to walk.? The next hunger games is to see who can survive the longest on an island full of the undead. A team of nascar fans band together to fight........... Men from the future come back to fight the zombie plague....... An elite secret force fights zombies and erases the memories of those that know about them.. Bank robbers in the hood fight zombies.. really are you still reading i got a million of these.. but that's the problem.. there can be so many new fresh zombie stories.. the question is should there be..

I always thought Ethan Cohen wrote for King of the Hill...all my life basically. Now I know I was very very wrong.

Wait a minute...the writer is named Etan Cohen? Ethan Cohen must hate him.

Having been a scout, the parent of several cub scouts, brownies, and fledgling boy scouts, I would whole heartily LOVE to see this. I am getting pretty tired of the whole Vampire and Zombie sticks but this.....I could have soooooo much fun with this. @ Shannon Dean: Love the idea of the Zombie plague being spread by girl scout cookies (Perhaps an evil plot hatched by a bunch of Bluebirds??? heh he. Scout leaders for both troops are serious geeks who of course fall in lust? of course, the real Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts will probably sue to prevent their exact name and license so we need some gags with lawyers.....
