The utterly adorable (she liked my accent *swoons*) Aussie actress Teresa Palmer has joined the cast of zombie flick, Warm Bodies according to The Hollywood Reporter. Helmer of indie hit, The Whackness, Jonathan Levine is directing the film, which is described as "Twilight meets Shaun of the Dead." The story centres on "an existentially tormented zombie named R that begins an unlikely friendship with the human girlfriend (Palmer) of one of his victims. The blossoming relationship starts a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies and maybe the whole lifeless world." About a Boy and Skins youngster Nicholas Hoult is the zombie, after bagging big roles in X-Men: First Class and Bryan Singer's Jack and the Beanstalk.
Palmer is a very sweet young woman, and has been on the cusp of something big for a long time. She was originally cast in Jumper before being replaced by a more famous (at the time) Rachel Bilson. This sounds like a lot of fun if the tone is played right.
