10 Upcoming Movies You Won't Believe Actually Got Made

10. Little Monsters

The Pitch: A washed-up musician (Alexander England) volunteers to chaperone his nephew's kindergarten class on a trip to a petting zoo after becoming infatuated with their teacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong'o).

However, the presence of irritating, alcoholic TV personality Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad) threatens to ruin the fun, not to mention a zombie outbreak which forces adults and kids alike to fight back against their undead attackers.

You had us at Lupita Nyong'o Kindergarten Teacher Zombie Killer, to be honest. The horror-comedy from Aussie filmmaker Abe Forsythe (Down Under) aptly premiered in the Midnight section of this year's Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews, where praise was lavished on the against-type performances of Nyong'o and Gad, and also the deft juggling of horror and comedy.

Quite how Nyong'o found herself in a low-budget Aussie rom-zom-com is anyone's guess, but between this and Us, she just might be carving out a fine niche for herself as a most unexpected scream queen.

Little Monsters doesn't yet have a release date, but has been acquired for distribution by Neon and Hulu.
