Dawn Of The Dead
(0.00 / 0 votes)l'm Zack Snyder, the director.
l'm Eric Newman, one of
the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight producers it took
to bring this film to the screen.
And here comes the Strike logo,
which l love.
l'm actually very proud of it.
Originally we had this idea to go
from the Universal globe...
- To the sun.
and then l said we had to have
the Strike logo after the Universal logo.
- That was great.
- lt worked well.
Really great.
There's Sarah Polley, our first choice.
l don't know who that guy is but he's great.
He sells this kind of doctor vibe that l love.
This was the first day of shooting, wasn't it?
The first day we shot
the first scene, very rare.
l'd never directed a movie before and said,
''lt's the beginning of the movie
''so we should shoot the first scene, right?''
They said, ''Normally you shoot
There were so many things we didn't know.
- lt worked out, though.
- lt did.
Sarah liked it cos that's the indie method,
you can shoot it in sequence
and it's more naturalistic.
The actors can experience
the movie as it goes.
And she's into gentle indoor lighting.
- She didn't know she'd be running so much.
- l know.
That Dr Dandewar is a reference to
Tarsin Dandewar, a friend of mine.
- People don't know his last name, do they?
- No. But now they do.
Sorry about that, brother.
Originally in the script we started
the movie later, we started it...
- ln her house.
- Shit goes crazy.
We added this stuff,
particularly this scene, just to sort of milk it.
l like that people think that that guy
on the gurney was the first case.
People say, ''That was the first case!''
l'll be like, ''Clearly that's not.''
on the radio five minutes later.
- lt started in Everett, Wisconsin.
- Great.
- Mythical, by the way.
- There is no Everett, Wisconsin.
My father said, ''Everett, Washington,''
and l was like, ''No, Wisconsin.''
He goes, ''ls there an Everett, Wisconsin?''
and l am like, ''lt's near Milwaukee, clearly.''
Notice those houses, you can't get
into them there. There's no driveways.
- The helicopter couldn't get low enough.
- We couldn't get that third giant size
so the huge giant shot we had to redo,
so there's no driveways
to the bottom row of houses.
- Not really a f*ck-up, but it's fun.
- lt worked.
- lt is a f*ck-up but l love it.
- A good f*ck-up.
Hannah Lochner, destined to be
a giant star in Japan.
Much of the Japanese marketing is
around her, which is cool.
They love the idea of that little blonde girl
who will rip your throat out.
Yeah. And people think she's their daughter,
which l love.
- l like that too.
- And she skated away.
That's Old Milwaukee but it's not.
lt's fake beer.
l don't think a single company,
with the exception of Panasonic and Roots -
my assistant Meg Davies somehow got
them to agree to appear in the movie -
but we got no help from any sponsors.
People were like, ''Do we wanna have blood
sprayed all over our thing?''
- They ran away. Everyone passed.
- That was fun.
Even companies that were going
out of business passed.
Here's a shower scene.
They gave me the hardest time -
''Nobody kisses in the shower.''
- A Zack Snyder commercial.
- l directed that for Subaru.
That was a WR.
And then they miss the bulletin.
And now it's tomorrow.
This is all fun here.
Yeah, this is great.
We shot this all pretty early.
Yeah, this is like day three or four.
