First off, let me just say George A Romero is a genius. I read a book recently that he needs to read then make into a movie.
The book is called Star Wars Death Troopers. If you haven't heard about it it takes place on an Imperial prison barge called The Purge. The story follows a couple inmates, a sadistic guard captain a medical supervisor and two other inmates that you have to read the book to believe.
The purge breaks down and is drifting on minimal power when they come across an apparently derelict Star Destroyer floating in space. They try to raise the destroyer on the radio with no response. Needing parts to fix the Purge, a boarding crew is sent to the destroyer to scavenge whatever they can. Only half the boarding party comes back. And that half becomes deathly ill and the virus begins to spread killing everyone who does not have a natural immunity. But they obviously dont stay dead.
There is heart break and intense emotional parts throughout and the heroics are there as well. This will give the zombie community a refreshed take on the genre for the first time since Zombies in time and space.
Whoever reads this PLEASE pass it along. The book is so visual is just begs to be a feature. Lets get the union of Zombie horror and Star Wars going with a fantastic movie!
