People of Culture Studios, a company where Andrew Cosby – co-creator of the Syfy series Eureka, serves as chief creative officer, is teaming up with Japanese talent agency Yoshimoto Kogyo to produce and finance a found footage zombie mockumentary called Among the Dead. Cosby is producing the film alongside Wada Ryoichi, whose stage play Ghost in the Box is credited for inspiring the Japanese zombie comedy One Cut of the Dead (which was recently remade as the French film Final Cut).
Variety reports that Among the Dead begins as the world finds its equilibrium after an undead apocalypse. One emotionally unstable man abandons his friends and family to go live among the last remaining zombies before they are all gone. He hopes to better understand the zombies and document their final days, but his efforts become a document of his final days instead.
