Slaying Giant Warm Bodies

Two interesting trailers have hit the net recently, and both star Nicholas Hoult (About A Boy, and Beast from X-Men: First Class).

Jack the Giant Slayer is directed by Bryan Singer, who’ll also be directing the First Class sequel based on the classic Days of Future past storyline from the comics, and is out in March.

Warm Bodies looks like a much more novel idea and is open in February. Love can even bring zombies to life. I love that idea. It’s directed by Jonathan Levine, the man behind the great 50/50, and the underrated All The Boys Love Mandy Lane.
