Director Found for Boy Scouts vs. Zombies

Boy Scouts vs. Zombies is a project that Paramount has been trying to get off the ground for a few years now, and it looks like they are ready to move forward with a new director.

Early last year, it was said that Etan Cohen (writer- Tropic Thunder, Men in Black III) was considering this project as his first directorial effort, but the job is going to Christopher Landon, who recently wrapped up work on the upcoming Paranormal Activity spin-off, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.

The script was originally written by Carrie Evans and Emi Mochizuki, and was picked up by Paramount back in 2010. The story “centers on a troop that must save a group of girl scouts from a pack of zombies with designs on spoiling a camping trip”. According to Deadline, Landon will do a little polish work on the script and production is expected to begin in early 2014. We should have casting news and more plot details later this year.
