We first reported, HERE, that Diablo Cody was looking to produce the horror film ‘Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament’. Now, Production Weekly has more news concerning the project.

Fox Searchlight is in talks to pick up the rights to ‘Breathers’, the upcoming zombie romantic comedy which is being scripted by Geoff LaTulippe. Read on for a detailed synopsis of the film.

Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human. Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissanc photography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.
