John Malkovich Joins Warm Bodies Cast

Variety is reporting that John Malkovich has joined the cast of Jonathan Levine’s film adaption of Isaac Marion’s zombie novel Warm Bodies, which we reviewed here.

Warm Bodies follows R, a zombie who develops a conscience of sorts after consuming the brain of a particular young man. His first post-meal decision is to save the life of the young man’s girlfriend, setting in motion the events of the rest of the novel. Malkovich will play General Grigio, a military man obsessed with wiping out the zombie threat. He joins Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer and Rob Corddry on the Summit Entertainment picture.
