Lion Forge Entertainment and Webtoon Productions are teaming up to bring the zombie horror-comedy “ShootAround” to the big screen as a YA live-action film.

Aiyana K. White, whose credits include “Severance” and “The Night Agent,” will write the feature based on the Webtoon webcomic of the same name. The comic by creator “Suspu” (Susanna Nousiainen) has amassed 28 million views.

Here’s the official plot description: “When the zombie apocalypse hits Penny Hall High, the state’s best girls’ basketball team must join forces with the boys they loathe to survive the most nightmarish scenario imaginable: 24 hours locked inside their high school with each other… and zombies. But mostly each other. ‘Zombieland’ meets ‘Bring It On’ in this life-or-death battle against a zombie outbreak and — perhaps more terrifyingly — teenagedom.”
