Washington, Oct 4 (ANI): Director Eduardo Rodriguez has signed on to helm Rogue Pictures' zombie pic "Fragile".

The movie is based on Stephano Raffaele's graphic novel which starts 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.

Rodriguez, who helmed Dimension's "Curandero," which was written and produced by Robert Rodriguez, said that he was excited about the movie as it would give him the opportunity to explore the genre of horror.

"'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," Variety quoted him, as saying.

Screenplay for the pic has been adapted by Jeff Dixon, with John Baldecchi, Justin Connolly, Pierre Spengler and Fabrice Giger producing.

Keith Dinielli is co-producer on the movie. (ANI)
