Dawn Of The Dead Page #3

and it's odd doing this now.

Either you got this DVD cos you bought it

or it was given away.

lt depends on what happens this weekend.

- We're talking about our movie and...

- ''Listen to them. Like it's great.''

This guy is awesome.

He was the first zombie we shot,

the guy on the gurney.

And he sort of set the bar a little bit.

- He was great.

- He's still one of the best zombies.

This sequence here, which Kyle Cooper

did an outstanding job on,

and l have to give Zack so much credit

for the musical choices,

cos this is one of a number of songs

that very early on he said,

''We gotta use this.''

There's the Jim Carroll song at the end,

the Richard Cheese version

of Down With The Sickness,

this Johnny Cash, The Man Comes Around,

were all Zack choices.

lt wasn't like we had a giant list

we chose from,

it was, ''We should just use this here.''

lt was almost like temp music

that all ended up in the movie.

This sequence was so important

because it really sells

the collapse of our society.

And all the information

that our characters were going to get

about the state of the world was gonna

come through this and the TV stuff later.

lt was important to me to not know

exactly where the zombie plague started.

Yeah.

Here's my cameo - l'm there to the left

with a machine gun.

That's my friend Kurt on the other side.

And there's blood, which clearly is a theme.

- There's a fair amount of blood.

- A little bit.

James Gunn, rock star.

George Romero, another rock star.

And this was the embedded reporter,

which we loved.

That's lstanbul. Not the Turkish capital.

No, which we referred to in our ignorance.

Not in this version - we cut that out.

''l'm in the Turkish capital,''

and it says lstanbul.

We're like, ''That was a mistake.''

Good geography.

A couple of people don't appear in

the credits that we're very grateful to.

One of them is Dylan Clark from Universal.

And Scott Stuber from Universal.

Scott Frank and Michael Tolkin,

who worked on the script,

- did a great job.

- Really great.

There were a lot of people,

and we'll mention more of them,

we were very lucky

with pretty much every level.

- Yeah, and Stacey.

- Stacey Snider, of course.

The folks at Universal instantly got

what this movie was

and l don't imagine

that there was another studio

that would let us make this movie

the way that it was made.

- Very incompetently.

- Yeah.

Most people would have paid attention and

sent somebody up to Canada to fire me,

and do a shot list for Zack every day -

''Here's what you get.''

l love that shot.

lt helps you to see,

that's sad to see that playground.

That's kind of scary.

- Or funny.
