One-Minute 'Warm Bodies' Trailer Has More Angry John Malkovich

There's a short new trailer for Warm Bodies, the zombie romantic comedy from director Jonathan Levine (50/50, The Wackness), starring Nicholas Hoult as a zombie who falls for a human girl (Teresa Palmer). It's the classic wrong side of the tracks romantic setup, complete with the girl's father (John Malkovich) being a guy who is opposed — really, violently opposed — to the idea of their relationship.

Malkovich gets a bit more play in this trailer, which, despite being only one minute long, is probably more effective than the first longer spot for the film was.

Yahoo has the trailer. Warm Bodies opens on February 1, 2013.
