George Romero Teases 'Medically Correct,' Economically Relevant Zombie Autopsies

Talking with i09, George Romero revealed that he's optioned Harvard psychologist-turned-writer Steven C. Schlozman's book The Zombie Autopsies, which is a zombie apocalypse tale with themes of economic collapse. Also: It's (100 percent?) medically accurate. "I think about it like the first Hammer Frankenstein film, which was all about very graphic scenes of brains floating in blood and things like that. I want it to be perfectly accurate, almost shockingly so." So, Night of the Living Dead meets Margin Call? Why not. [i09]
