More zombies will soon be invading movie theaters everywhere! Rogue Pictures has signed on Eduardo Rodriguez to direct Fragile, an adaption of a graphic novel by Stephano Raffaele. Jeff Dixon has written the screenplay adapted from the graphic novel. The story kicks off after an airborne virus has reduced much of the Earth's population to feral zombies. A recently undead soldier teams with a female zombie and a human teenager, racing against time to find a cure before being hunted down by the soldier's former military unit.

I'm not familiar with the original graphic novel, as it's published by Humanoids, not a well known comic book press. This does sound quite a bit out of the ordinary and possibly extraordinary, but I'm not sure putting a very new director on this will result in what I'm hoping for.

Has anyone read this comic book? Is it as good as Max Brooks' "World War Z"? If you know anything, chime in!
