I've known about the book Night of the Living Trekkies for a while now. I'd read about it online, I'd seen it at comic con, but at no point was I ever interested in reading it. As amusing as the concept of blending Star Trek and zombies is, I think I've just been getting to the point where I'm kind of over zombie stories. They are everywhere lately. There are zombie books, zombie comics, zombie games, zombie movies. Everywhere you turn, you'll find something about the undead. It's as if there actually has been a real, honest-to-god zombie invasion taking place in popular media.
I had thought I was was over it, but then I saw the above trailer.
Holy crap if that isn't the most brilliant bit of marketing I've ever seen, I don't know what is. I now find myself dying to read that book. If it's even half as amusing as this trailer is, it'll be totally worth reading. I also now find myself wishing that this story gets turned into a full on movie. I could only hope that the movie will be as low budget and cheesy as the trailer is. It's the campiness of the effects and the bad Star Trek costumes that really makes this trailer pure nerd gold. Can we just give the guys who made the trailer more money so they can shoot the whole thing? Please?
