‘Zombie’ flick back from dead

'Zombieland" is coming soon to a computer near you.

An adaptation of the 2009 movie is in the works at Amazon Studios, the entertainment division of the online retailer.

Gavin Polone, a producer of the Hollywood hit, told Broadcast Now that he is developing the film as a series, to be streamed by the Seattle-based Web site, which has its own TV studio.

Recent casting notices indicate that the series will feature many of the same characters as the movie, a mix of comedy and horror that starred Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone.

The series marks the highest-profile project yet by Amazon, which announced in 2010 that it would be producing original online programming.

ORIGINAL: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg star

Content is streamed through Amazon Instant Video, intended as a competitor to Netflix and Hulu.

The Amazon deal follows a series of twists and turns in the zombie movie's afterlife. A modestly budgeted hit at $23 million, the film grossed more than $100 million worldwide, and initially appeared destined for a sequel.

Those plans fell apart after script problems, however, and more recent reports have focused on a possible TV show that would air on a traditional network. (One rumored destination was Fox.)

Now at Amazon, the series joins a growing field of online-only competitors, including new episodes of "Arrested Development" and a drama starring Kevin Spacey on Hulu.

In addition to fans of the movie, producers hope to tap into the more recent success of "The Walking Dead," a zombie-themed thriller that has become one of the biggest hits in the history of cable network AMC.
