‘El Zombo Fantasma’ will get a big screen adaptation

The Dark Horse comic ‘El Zombo Fantasma’ is going to the big screen and it looks to be pretty badass. Pete calls this the “latino hellboy”, basically here is the story: “El Zombo Fantasma was the most famous and notorious Mexican wrestler on the planet, up until he was murdered … apparently for throwing a match. Now the luchador has fallen into a strange land of purgatory, and the only way to avoid an eternity of fiery damnation is to return to Los Angeles and guard the well-being of a struggling young spitfire, ten-year-old Belisa Montoya. However, this role as an undead guardian angel gives El Zombo the opportunity to hunt down his killer … and unearth far more than he bargained for.”

The coolest thing about this is that Latino Review’s own Kellvin Chavez will be pitching his hand at production. This does look to be quite an interesting project, and I cant wait to see what comes of it.
