Variety is reporting that Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno) is set to produce a film adaptation of S.G. Browne’s Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament, for Fox Searchlight. The novel, due to be released on March 3rd, is a zombie romantic comedy about a zombie named Andy who joins a zombie support group while dealing with society’s prejudices towards the undead.

While I’m not a big fan of zombies, this sounds awesome. How much do you want to bet that Drew Barrymore is already trying to land the part of Andy’s love interest, Rita the sexy suicide victim zombie?
