‘The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun, Felicia Day To Star In ‘Chew’ Adaptation

Briefly: If you weren’t already aware, an animated Chew adaptation is incoming, and it just got two stars!

Torchwood: Web of Lies and Peter Panzerfaust (animated) director Jeff Krelitz will direct the adaptation, which is scripted by Chew co-creator John Layman.

The Walking Dead‘s Steven Yuen is set to voice the titular character, Tony Chew, while The Guild’s Felicia Day will voice Amelia Mintz, a food critic and Chew’s love interest.

Here’s the comic’s description:

Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he’s a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn’t mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why. It’s a dirty job, and Tony has to eat terrible things in the name of justice. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the government has figured out Tony Chu’s secret. They have plans for him, whether he likes it or not. Presenting a twisted new series about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants, written by John Layman (Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness, House of M: Fantastic Four and Puffed) with mind-blowing art by astonishing comics newcomer Rob Guillory.

It should be a neat adaptation, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more! Fans, what do you think of the casting news?
