EXCLUSIVE: This a title that would certainly score big with the Comic-Con crowd. NBC has closed a deal for Zombies vs. Vampires, a spec script by Jake in Progress creator/executive producer Austin Winsberg. I hear NBC bought preemptively the project, produced by Warner Bros. TV and McG’s studio-based Wonderland production banner. Zombies vs. Vampires is described as a “fun buddy cop procedural.” It is set in a world where zombies are a part of society, controllable with medication. The show’s two leads (one secretly a vampire) are cops assigned to a squad specifically formed to deal with “zombie crime”. Winsberg, McG and Peter Johnson are executive producing.
On the feature side, Winsberg, repped by UTA and Underground, recently sold a pitch to Warner Bros. for an animated feature about a peacock, which he is co-writing with Heath Corson. Wonderland is with WME.

Really? This is a terrible idea for a show.
True Blood meets police cable shows meets Zombieland?
Looking forward to The Walking Dead on AMC.
Wow…
Going back to the well again.
Enough already with the Clampires!
Seriously! I’m about to f*cking OD on all this vampire crap!
Sounds like joke spinoff of that animated show on Comedy Central.
and the headline was so promising.
I will watch this! Very very VERY cool!
this will be hitting the screen just as the genre dies, excellent timing!
Hollywood – do you not understand what zombie overkill is?
Well you’re about to.
I LOVE zombies. But it’s getting WAY out of control.
Jesus Christ, this sounds so lame and derivative.
I love vampire stories and I really love Zombie movies, but this has got to be the most stupid idea I have heard in a long time! Dear AMC, start showing promos to Walking Dead…PLEASE!
god. enough.
Aren’t there already more vampire television shows and movie franchises than you can shake a stake at?
I’m getting sick of TV shows and movies with Vampires, and how can a dead person be controlled with meds if they’re dead?
Zombies are Undead. Sorry – NERD ALERT!
This seems like it was stolen from a fictitious commercial presented in “Robocop” or “Max Headroom”. My god, give it a rest unless you’re going to do something really out of the box.
This show reeks of “Alf” after years of “V” “Buck Rodgers” “BSG” and other SciFi in the late 70s.
Wait, I’ve got a script idea.. about mole people… my keyboard is on fire!
What a hack…
Great, another Vamp show. HBO, CW, ABC and now NBC too.I love it and I cannot wait to watch it.
Hey, Simon Pegg — get your lawyer on the phone. This guy made a show out of the last 2 minutes of Shaun of the Dead.
Writer to agent: hmm, vampires are really popular right now. So are zombies.
Agent: people want procedurals. They’re really into procedurals. And cops.
Writer: what about vampires and zombies and cops AND IT’S A PROCEDURAL!
Agent: you, sir, are both a total sellout and a genius. let’s do this thing.
Does anyone care about LIVING people anymore?
Bad, bad, god awful.
Why’s it getting going?
Because he’s already in the system.
Would Hollywood and the audience be better off…if Hollywood quit being such
a god blammed closed system?
Yes. Obvious. More than.
If Hollywood high and mites can forgive Polansky and lobby for
him to come back…it’s because he’s been in the system.
He’s won awards; made money for the system…and sure, is very talented
as an artist and director.
But he’s also got a lot of baggage. Bad karma
But…he’s been in the system at a high level.

Isn’t it time for the pendulum to swing the other way on this sort of script? Vampires have jumped the shark. Zombieland was fun; move on.
It’s like H’wood is run by a bunch of brain-dead man-boys who feed off the rotting innards of last year’s fresh take.
Maybe next they can make a super hero flick? Or something off a graphic novel? Comics, whatever…
There I was, sitting at the bar rail in the closest dive to the police barn when SHE glided in out of the rain.
Six feet of blonde vampiric sex kitten, she stared at me with a suppressed hunger in her feral eyes.
I tossed back my Glenlivet, and popped two more of the special “brain candy” pills that keep my crumbling corpse up and running, or should I say shambling.
Zombie humor, forgive me.
The vampire goddess suddenly appeared at my elbow like smoke and I slapped my paw onto my service pistol, just in case she got all bitey. Very sharp twin canine points gleamed thru the blood-red lipstick.
“Hold on there stinkymeat, I’m your new partner”. Small tight smile.
I had known that I was due to break in someone new, but had secretly been hoping that the brass would put me with another Zombie cop, someone who would know what the life, or lack therof, was like. God, I kill me.
But nope, looks like I couldn’t get that lucky.
The night shift had just started for me and it was already starting to suck… literally.
Oy vay. I think I need another drink or six.
Wow, That was actually pretty cool. Did you write it yourself or is it from a book or something? You may have been joking around but honestly if I had that “book??” in my hands I’d read it. It had a great Bogart as a zombie feel. If I was making it into a movie, it would be in black and white, but bright, so the flash of platinum hair would shimmer. The sex kitten vamp would have that glowy inner light (like they did on Star Trek) giving her an other worldly glamour, but it would just be a “first glance” sort of thing. lol ok i’m rambling. Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed reading it.
Ah, so that’s how they keep John Stamos’ career alive. With science.
Give the guy a chance. If he’s the one who brought us Jake In Progress, then surely this will be just as good.
