"Digital feature", eh? So, like, a CGI movie? I think they did that with Resident Evil or something like that at some point, didn't they?

Videogame-to-movie films usually don't work out, so whatever, I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be a load of dreck like the vast majority of other game adaptations. It's quite surprising how bad most of them tend to be, isn't it?

Actually a 12 part series set in real time could work featuring survivors trapped in a mall waiting for rescue. It would be 24 with zombies.
