I Used to Eat Brains Zombie Movie Lands at Amazon, May Not Actually Star Ryan Gosling

The Ryan Gosling-produced I Used to Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale zombie movie has landed at Amazon MGM Studios; although, whether or not Gosling will star in the film remains unclear at this time.

Earlier this month, Jeff Sneider’s The InSneider reported that Gosling was attached star in a new zombie movie called I Used to Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale, which is based on a 42-page short story by twins Adam and Daniel Cooper.

Per Deadline, Amazon MGM has now acquired the rights to the film.

Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson are producing the film through General Admission, which has a first-look deal with the studio; however, according to Deadline, “there’s no truth to the assertion” that Gosling will star in the movie. 

No casting announcements have yet been made and it’s unclear whether the Coopers will write the screenplay for the movie, meaning it’s possible that Gosling could still appear in the film once it has a script.

Plot details for I Used to Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale are being kept under wraps at this time, though it’s described as being set in a “post-post-apocalyptic” world where former zombies are attempting to reintegrate into society.

Gosling and Henderson’s General Admission production company officially launched in March 2024. 

“We are so thrilled that Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson will make Amazon MGM Studios the home of their new company, General Admission,” Amazon MGM Studios’ Courtenay Valenti said at the time, via Deadline. “As the name of their company conveys, these passionate and extraordinary filmmakers want to tell stories for audiences all over the world. Ryan Gosling is a truly singular artist who possesses boundless talent and creativity. We could not be more excited to make big, bold, signature movies with him. 

General Admission is currently working with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller on Project Hail Mary, an upcoming sci-fi movie starring Gosling and Sandra Hüller that is currently scheduled to be released on March 20, 2026.
