Boy Scouts vs. Zombies is a project that Paramount has been trying to get off the ground for a couple of years, but it looks like they are ready to move forward with a new director. Etan Cohen, who is known for his writing on Tropic Thunder and also worked on Men in Black III, is currently negotiating to make this his first directorial effort.
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".
There are no additional details on the project at this time. Paramount has already invested quite a bit into zombies with World War Z, which will be released later this year. There are also a number of zombie comedies at various stages of development at other studios, so we're interested to see which projects actually get the green light.
