Four new propaganda-style posters for zombie comedy Warm Bodies reveal the upcoming movie’s radical thesis: Zombies are people too.

The slogan-loaded artwork, premiered by Wired in the gallery above along with several character posters, show off the film’s unique twist on the zombie genre: While your average ghoul story is told from the point of view of desperate humans trying to survive the undead hordes, Warm Bodies gets us inside the head of a high-functioning zombie known simply as “R.”

Played by Nicholas Hoult, R suffers the typical problems of many a young male: He’s pale, he’s lonely, he’s got bad posture, he can’t connect with people. But after he rescues the very-much-alive Julie (Teresa Palmer), “R becomes increasingly more human — setting off an exciting, romantic and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world,” according to the movie’s synopsis.

The question of whether any part of a person’s intellect remains after they get zombified — or whether they can ever be cured — has been explored elsewhere. (remember the misguided Muldoons in Survival of the Dead or the Governor in The Walking Dead ?) But a zombie that thinks, falls in love and feels conflicted about eating brains? And slowly evolves back toward being human? That’s pretty unique.
