Fragile
Make it a trifecta! First Twilight, then Night Tourist and now this. Jumping on the bandwagon, Rogue Pictures has decided to adapt the less-known graphic novel Fragile, from author Stephano Raffaele.
Eduardo Rodriguez to Direct Fragile
Eduardo Rodriguez has been picked up to direct Fragile, a graphic novel that kicks off after an airborne virus has reduced much of the Earth's population to feral zombies. A recently undead soldier then teams with a female zombie and a human teenager, racing against time to find a cure before being hunted down by the soldier's former military unit.
Jeff Dixon adapted the book into a screenplay. Dixon is also writing the graphic novel Run Like Hell for Viper Comics as well as the screenplay for Buried, set up at Maverick Films.
"Fragile gives me the opportunity to explore the horror we're used to in the genre but set in a unique post-apocalyptic world where zombies aren't the monsters anymore," said Rodriguez, who helmed Dimension's Curandero, which was written and produced by the other Rodriguez (Robert).
Eduardo Rodriguez is also attached to direct Open Grave for NALA Films.
