It's been a long, long time since Peter Jackson exclaimed that one day he'd return to the genre he started in. This afternoon a new story reports that actor/writer Stephen Fry was on British radio show "BBC Five Live" hosted by Simon Mayo where he revealed that Jackson is working on a Nazi zombie film?! Read on for the skinny.

"Apparently, there’s a currently standing, fully constructed set of Jerusalem in New Zealand," writes /Film, "It was built by “some strange billionaire” for a now aborted religious movie with a supposed Mel Gibson influence. Now the set lies dormant, several New Zealand film makers have been coming up with potential uses. Here’s Fry on one of them: "Fran [Walsh], who is PJ’s wife and writes with him, they’ve come up with this idea called The Christ Must Die in which Nazi zombies go back in time to stop Jesus from being born." Can you imagine Jackson heading back to his roots and bringing forth a film like Bad Taste or Dead Alive/Brain Dead with a budget?! I just had a horrorgasm...
