Valderrama Is El Muerto

Wilmer Valderrama (TV's That '70s Show) will play the lead in El Muerto, the big-screen adaptation of Javier Hernandez's Aztec superhero comic, Zap2it.com reported.
El Muerto, which means The Dead, centers on Diego de la Muerte, a young man from Whittier, Calif., who is on his way to a Day of the Dead mixer when he is abducted and killed in a ritual sacrifice, only to be resurrected as El Muerto, the Aztec Zombie, by Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec God of Death, the site reported. In this incarnation, Diego is charged to fight injustice for the living and dead alike.
Brian Cox will direct the project, which will begin shooting this month, the site reported.
