Help! “Oh! Darling,” look what they’re doing to the Beatles! From hoax to jokes: Alan Goldsher’s book PAUL IS UNDEAD comes out this June, and Double Feature partners Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher have optioned it. The novel reimagines the history of The Beatles with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as zombies. Talk about beating an undead horse. “You Can’t Do That.” Let It Be!

PAUL IS UNDEAD is the latest book to blend real-life historical figures with the supernatural, and Deadline got the scoop that it is joining ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES as a movie project. Written as an oral history, Goldsher’s book details how Lennon, a zombie guitarist in Liverpool, kills and reanimates McCartney, Harrison and Starr. They create hit songs and bloody mayhem across the world, pursued by England's greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger. They also engage in a battle with Eighth Level Ninja Lord Yoko Ono, and snack on the brains of their fans.

Who’s Next? Our money is on a studio soon announcing that they’ve greenlit a movie about The Monkees as mummies pursued by monster hunter Roger Daltry. Yikes!
