First Look! Warm Bodies: The First Four Minutes

Nicholas Hoult has come a long way from his beginnings as Hugh Grant's pseudo son in About A Boy. 

First came Skins, then X-Men: First Class, and now he's taking the lead in Warm Bodies. 

The dark comedy sees Nic star as R, a zombie living in post-apocalyptic America, who has managed to retain some semblance of his humanity despite being… well… you know, dead. 

The film will see him do what he can to save Julie (Teresa Palmer) from the undead, after he eats her boyfriend's brains, absorbs his memories and falls in love with her. 

Aw. How… sweet? 

Check out this four minute sneak peek and let us know what you think. 

Warm Bodies hits cinemas in February 2013.
