Driven by his father's envy and murderous past, a Viking prince is pursued by jealous gods and a dark temptress in his quest for redemption.
Why does the prince need redemption? The logline says his dad is the one with a murderous past, not the prince. The protagonist comes across as the undeserving victim (father's envy and murderous past), not the offender. The prince seems to be more in need of rescuing than redemption.

>>potentially hook up with a girl he has wanted to ask out since freshman year.
And why hasn’t he after all these years? Too self-absorbed? Too scared to take the risk for relationship and love?
>>life forces you to grow up.
Actually, couldn’t you also say that death forces him to grow up? A face to face, mano a mano confrontation with the walking dead forces a dead man walking (through a self-indulgent, wasted life) to run for his life, to fight for it, to take it seriously.
And not just take life seriously — but to embrace it passionately. A visual manifestation of that subjective growth could be a scene at the end of the film where he embraces the girl — whose life he has just saved.
[That would work better if, in Act 1, he finally did ask her out — and she summarily rejected him. She didn’t appreciate him like she does now. Therefore, the love in the embrace would be mutual.]
Whatever, the “B” story would be that he has to win her love rather than merely woo it.
Random associating. I keep pestering you because I sense there is a great story that might stand out from the 10,001 zombie movies in release or development. But I don’t see it in sharp focus, yet.
Fwiw. Best wishes with your writing.
