It was confirmed today that funny man Michael Showalter (The Baxter) has been tapped to direct Night of the Living Dorks, Warner Independent's remake of the hilarious German horror comedy, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison are producing along with Adam F. Goldberg. Described as "Revenge of the Nerds" meets "Shaun of the Dead," the story revolves around three not-so-cool school friends who decide to try an old voodoo ritual. When they later die in a car crash, they find themselves reborn as zombies and try to take advantage of their new lifestyle. Chris Bishop wrote the screenplay.
