ERIC BANA, JAMES SPADER & RYAN PHILLIPPE IN "BY VIRTUE FALLS". TERESA PALMER JOINS NICHOLAS HOULT IN "WARM BODIES". TIM BURTON'S "DARK SHADOWS" HAS JOHNNY DEPP, MICHELLE PFEIFFER & HELENA BONHAM CARTER

Ah, this really is quite a silly story, but when you have two stunning young creatures in the cast who cares about silly plot: according to latest rumors Teresa Palmer might join Nicholas Hoult in WARM BODIES,  a film adaptation of the yet to be published book which follows an existentially tormented zombie named R that begins an unlikely friendship with the human girlfriend of one of his victims. The blossoming relationship starts a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies and maybe the whole lifeless world. Teresa will play the daughter of one of the humans' military leaders who is tired of constantly fighting off zombie attacks.
