Dawn Of The Dead Page #12

Synopsis: Ana goes home to her peaceful suburban residence, but she is unpleasantly surprised the morning that follows when her husband is brutally attacked by her zombified neighbor. In the chaos of her once picturesque neighborhood, Ana flees and stumbles upon a police officer named Kenneth, along with more survivors who decide that their best chances of survival would be found in the deserted Crossroads Shopping Mall. When supplies begin running low and other trapped survivors need help, the group comes to the realization that they cannot stay put forever at the Shopping Mall, and devise a plan to escape.

They're going by fast.

- Josh Bratman.

- Wes Coller, right there.

Josh Bratman is an executive

at Strike who's awesome.

He has to be mentioned.

Wes Coller, who without

there would be no movie.

Damon Caro, right there.

lt's Damon Caro's head.

He was our zombie movement coordinator

and also stuntman extraordinaire

and buddy extraordinaire.

There's a fire on the boat with no gas.

l don't know what's burning.

Ving, when he did this, poked my eye out

cos he pushed the camera in my face.

lt hurt like hell.

That's Zombie lsland.

Why would you go to Zombie lsland?

And is there an island that size

in any of the Great Lakes

with that kind of mountain?

lt looks like King Kong lives on that island.

- lt does.

- Crazy. l'm like, ''Wow.''

- Here's the Universal Studios Tour.

- My favourite shot.

This is on the Universal Studios Tour,

near the parting of the Red Sea,

if you look to the right,

that's where we shot this.

When you go to Universal Studios,

look to the right

and say, ''That's where they shot

the end of Dawn Of The Dead.''

We offered to leave it up but they were like,

''Nobody's gonna watch this movie.''

''Get out of here.''

l was like, ''All right.''

Here come the drums.

These are my LA zombies.

They were pretty crap.

You don't want that.

LA zombies are particularly mean.

And then you get a little zombie love

on the way out.

That's right.

- Miro, second unit DP.

- Awesome.

Everybody was really cool.

Everybody was solid.

- lt was the best...

- How about Dug?

- Dug Rotstein, awesome.

- Oh, Dug.

- We love Dug.

- Dug's the best.

- Without Dug, no movie.

- That's true.

There's Jeff, right there.

And Matt Leonetti did a great job, too.

Matt looked awesome.

- These are great, these little flashes.

- They are.

There's the Mr. guys.

There's zombie Pete,

who's Melissa's husband.

He was one of the... l think that was him.

There's the kissing girls.

That's something for the kids.

The guys who are still hanging around

the theatre.

Where's Noah Newman, my cousin?

He had a huge credit

at the beginning of the movie.

Like, it's over mine.

There you go, Battle Of The Alamo

chess set.

Awesome. My parents should be in there,

my mom and dad.

Those are who l should really be thanking,

instead of the Alamo.

You guys are never gonna get

this hour and 40 minutes back.

- Yeah. Sorry about that.

- But thanks for spending it with us.
