Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 7:15AM 'How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack' Movie Coming from Robert Zemeckis

Finally someone in the movie biz will bring the wildly popular garden gnomes to life for a silver screen adventure. Director Robert Zemeckis, whose created light-hearted animated movies with The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol, may go considerably darker for his next semi-animated feature.
Deadline reports, Zemeckis is producing a film adaptation of Chuck Sambuchino’s "How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack" for Sony, and has just hired writers Chad Damiani and JP Lavin to pen the script for this live-action story (though the gnomes will be animated). Zemeckis is currently working on the drama Flight starring Denzel Washington, but has indicated the hard, PG-13 rated gnome-attack flick may be his next directorial gig.
I don't know much about this story, other than it's a mock how-to-guide of how people defend themselves from these deceptively adorable yet incredibly lethal garden gnome warriors. The cover of the book pictures a cute little gnome with a hatchet hidden by his back, which is all you need to see to know these dudes are going to be out for blood.
If the two relatively unknown writers, Damiani and Lavin come up with a decent script this project is bound to get the green light fast. Seems like moviegoers would flock to theaters to see the Travelocity gnome and his homies whoop some human ass. And if Zemeckis decides to direct it, the film is guaranteed to be a box-office hit.
