Shaun of the Dead, the Zombie movie by Spaced's Simon Pegg and Edgar
Wright, is to go into production later this year.
The film, described by Wright as, "Richard Curtis shot through the
head by George Romero", will begin filming in May, and promises to
be a bloodsoaked extravaganza of epic proportions.
And, if you have ever harboured a desire to lurch, shuffle, gnaw and
be shot to bits - this is your chance, because Simon, Edgar, and the
rest, are looking for extras from which they can compose their army
of the living dead.
Even better, the Best Zombie Actors will be awarded with a loving
photographed head explosion. Lovely. It's worth noting, though, that
there is no guarantee you'll be paid for your labours. But then
again, you're not doing it for the money, are you?
They're looking for a variety of ages - so, not only yourself, but
why not print this out and pass it on to friends and family?
But don't send your email off just yet; you need to follow the
instructions that follow.
Firstly; the details. Filming starts in May for 9 weeks. There will
be auditions and workshops in April. You'll get more details on that
if you express an interest.
