Zombie movie based off of comic book?

As I was searching the world for the latest and greatest zombie news across the brain-to-brain interface of the internet, I discovered a new deal that was signed less than 24 hours ago.  



Archie comics have been around, well, probably as long as the stories of the undead have been - however, Archie comics have had a new undead twist that debuted in 2013.  Yesterday evening a deal was struck with Warner Brothers to make this new comic into a movie.  Little is known about the actual plans but apparently the idea was to take the high school Archie clique and throw them in with the horror of Stephen Kings The Stand.  The director of Pitch Perfect (Jason Moore) has signed on to direct this movie while the writer from Glee (Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa) will be writing the script.  



I must admit that I fear this movie will be brain-dead from the get-go, so I have little faith that this will be attracting many zombies.  Your thoughts?  Brains or brainless?
