EL ZOMBO PHANTASMA COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU

Death Ray Films and Maya Entertainment have teamed up to bring the acclaimed Dark Horse comic book "El Zombo Fantasma" to the big screen.

"El Zombo Fantasma," published by Dark Horse Comics in 2005 and created by David Wilkins and Kevin Munroe, will be produced under the Death Ray Films banner recently formed by Chris Patton, Kevin Munroe and Robert Sanchez who are currently in production on War Monkeys.

The story follows the mysterious murder of the world's most notorious Mexican wrestler who bargains his way out of an eternity of fiery damnation by returning to Los Angeles to play guardian angel to a troublesome teen, Belisa Montoya. He soon discovers that the teen is not what she seems and that their fates have been intertwined for centuries.

Death Ray Films and Maya Entertainment will bring tales of the undead masked wrestler to multiple mediums starting with the live action feature followed by a new animated series. Kevin Munroe will write and direct with Chris Patton and Robert Sanchez producing. Wilkins and Munroe will co-produce. Mike Richardson will executive produce for Dark Horse Entertainment. Jose Martinez and Kellvin Chavez will produce along with Academy Award nominee Moctesuma Esparza who will executive produce for Maya Entertainment.

I am most definitely looking forward to seeing this on the big screen. Comic books and wrestling? How can you go wrong? And I ain't talking about that WWE fake bullshit you see on tv. You guys have no idea how excited I was to see two Mexican free wrestlers in the horror sequel Feast 2. Yea they were midgets, but who cares? And the ginormous dick on the brother who wore the mask was hilarious! Now getting back to El ZOmbo, it's great that not only are we getting a gay superhero but a Latino one as well. All the atterntion can't go to Batman and Spiderman. There are so many interesting characters and stories that need to be told. As far as casting goes, I have no idea who can play El Zombo (maybe Ron Pearlman or Benicio Del Toro), and as far as directing goes how about Robert Rodriguez? Quentin Tarantino when he's done with Inglorious Basterds? I would say Guillermo Del Toro, but he's beyond busy with The Hobbit for the next few years.
