Take a gander below via Collider.This is just the latest look we've had at the groaning, but very different zomboid featured in the story, as he was also part of the first, disturbingly Twilight-esque image that appeared last year.But we have faith that this is much more than a rotting flesh variation on Edward and Bella's complicated love story. Adapted from Isaac Marion's novel by 50/50 director Jonathan Levine, Bodies is set in a world where zombies are everywhere and the remaining human survivors are holed up in a heavily guarded city.R is an unusual zombie: he's still a little bit alive inside. And when he spots Julie (Teresa Palmer), he becomes determined to save her from both his fellow zombies and the lethal Boneys, the next step in undead transformation. Naturally, she's not quite so convinced, but R wins her over by swearing off flesh and defending her more than once. Trouble is, their burgeoning love is in danger from her father (Malkovich), who is intent on wiping out the zombie menace...Warm Bodies will be out on August 24.
