Game of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage and Jason Momoa are teaming up to star in a unique zombie adventure entitled Good Bad & Undead for Legendary.
The project will be directed by Max Barbakow, based on an original idea by writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Baywatch), according to Deadline.
Barbakow is coming off Andy Samberg’s Palm Springs, which was acquired at Sundance by Neon and Hulu for $22 million, the largest acquisition ever at the fest.

The news comes just hours after it was announced that Warner Bros. is finally releasing the ‘Snyder Cut’ of Momoa’s 2017 superhero movie Justice League.
Snyder did direct most of the film, but stepped away in the middle of production due to a family tragedy, leading to Joss Whedon stepping in to direct the last bits of production and reshoots.
Fans have been clamoring for Snyder’s full director’s cut ever since Justice League was released to lackluster reviews and box office performance, earning just $229 million domestic and $657.9 million worldwide, the lowest of all the DCEU movies.
Momoa played Aquaman in Justice League, a role he reprised in the stand alone Aquaman movie, which became the biggest DCEU blockbuster to date, earning $335 million domestic and $1.18 billion worldwide, the only DC movie to pass $1 billion.
Momoa is expected to return as the title character in Aquaman 2, and he will next be seen in a new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune, playing Duncan Idaho.
Dinklage won four Emmys for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister over all eight seasons of Game of Thrones and he recently starred as Eitiri in Avengers: Infinity War and last year’s Between Two Ferns: The Movie.
