Teresa Palmer (I Am Number Four) falls in love with a zombie named ‘R’ in the zombie romantic comedy Warm Bodies. It’s an unusual love story, to say the least, and that was one of the reasons Palmer wanted to be a part of this film.

In this interview courtesy of Summit Entertainment, Palmer discusses her character, the film’s romantic storyline, and handling the action scenes – including the lab attack sequence that introduces her character to R (played by Nicholas Hoult) – in Warm Bodies.

Watch the video:

The Plot: After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, 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.

Warm Bodies hits theaters on February 1, 2013.
