James Farr’s online animated horror series Xombie could be getting the big screen treatment thanks to DreamWorks. The studio is in negotiations.

“Xombie” is based on a Devil’s Due comic book by James Farr, itself based on his online animated series. Farr’s creation centers on a zombie cop named Dirge who attempts to saves humanity’s remnants, particularly a young girl named Zoe, from evil zombies.

Animated single-handedly by creator, James Farr, Xombie quickly shot to cult status, boasting over 13 Million downloads in its short, 9 episode life span.

DreamWorks is in negotiations to acquire the source material. If deals are closed, Cindi Rick and John Frank Rosenbaum of Epic Level Entertainment would exec produce along with Kurtzman/Orci’s Bobby Cohen and Steven T. Puri.
