The Black List is a special list of the best screenplays that weren’t turned into movies each year. On the 2010 list, a screenplay by writers Carrie Evans and Emi Mochizuki titled Boy Scouts vs. Zombies was selected, and now it’s finally making its way to the Big Screen.

Etan Cohen, the popular comedy screenwriter behind such titles as Mike Judge’s Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and the upcoming Men in Black III, has entered into negotiations to make his directorial debut on the movie, and to look over a new draft of the script by Lona Williams (Drop Dead Gorgeous).

The horror-comedy will tell the story of a troop of boy scouts who has to save a group of girl scouts from zombies.

Paramount Pictures acquired the script along with a team of producing partners from Broken Road Productions, Brucks Entertainment, and Oops Doughnuts Productions, and there’s no current timetable on when the movie will begin casting or production.
