Zombies were always better than vampires. Vampires are mostly for teen girls.

Did you read Cronin's The Passage? It's going to be a movie as well, and it's a pretty excellent treatment of vamps. It sort of combines the best of both worlds, though. The dark psychological horror of vampires with the postapocalyptic milieu of zombies (similar to I am Legend).

No, but I could probably enjoy that.

On a side note - I don't think the well on zombies movies will run dry for quite a while, though. Some stories will just be better than others. It's a survival tale, first, really. The good ones anyway. The zombies are sort of a plot device to get the characters to the point where they're in a constant state of fighting to survive.
