Cannes Film Festival this year had several movies and parties with special events featuring speakers that talked about everything from gender inequality to zombies.

Demarest announced Thursday at Cannes that it was developing a TV series based on George Romero's "Empire of the Dead," according to Variety.

What's unique about this apocalypse story from Romero, who is a veteran pioneering master of zombie apocalypse cinema, is that this isn't just about zombies plaguing the world, but vampires as well.

"Empire of the Dead" was first featured in Marvel Comics as a 15-issue graphic novel. The story, which mixes both folklores into one, will play out in serialized episodes, just like with AMC's "The Walking Dead."

According to ComicBook.com, the series will be executive produced by the writing partner duo of Romero and Peter Grunwald, who will work alongside Demarest EPs Sam Englebardt and William D. Johnson. Romero and Grunwald will also be sharing writing credits for the series adaptation.

The show will be based off the original premise in the comic series, which is set in New York City years after the zombie apocalypse. But a new monster rises out of the settling dust, vampires, and they are ready to inherit the Earth and take it by force from the zombies.

It is unclear at this point if this going to be one of those classic monster vs. monster shows or if there are even humans involved, although one would think so if vampires need to drink blood, which would be conspicuously absent from the rotting corpses of the zombies.

Variety also reports that Demarest has financed and produced the adaptation of "The Night Manager," which will find its U.S. home on American network AMC next year. In the U.K., the series will be aired on BBC. This show has been designated as a six-part mini-series and will star Hugh Laurie (House) and Tom Hiddleston.
