Earlier this year, SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR renaissance man and polymath Corey Taylor revealed that he had penned not one, but five, film scripts, and was actively “shopping” one title, Zombie Versus Ninja, to interested parties.

One month on, Taylor says that the film will “shoot this year” and that’s he’s been meeting with potential directors for the film. 

 
Speaking to Frightmare HQ about the project, Taylor says, “One of the things that I've always wanted to do is create a movie — write a movie and then see it from soup to nuts; from pre-pro to walking the red carpet. That's been one of my biggest dreams. And I've had the opportunity to really be put in touch with some great producers. And I'm talking to potential directors right now, actually. It is going to shoot this year.
 
When asked if he might harbour any ambition to direct the film himself, Taylor replied, “It's not that I'm not interested; it's that I know that's not my forte.”
 
"I don't have the chops to do this… So, for me, as the writer and the producer, now I can find the right person to bring it to fruition and walk with them every step of the way as a collab. Let them do their thing, but also know that, in my mind, there's this idea of what I want it to be.”
