I was a middle aged zombie--One woman's tale of being transformed into a zombie extra for George Romero's Land of the Dead. She rocks in my book because there aren't a lot of female zombie fans out there.
I'm in a zombie movie. Not just any zombie movie, but Land of the Dead, directed and written by a man who has done more for the deceased than embalming fluid, Forest Lawn and HBO's Six Feet Under put together. To be in a George Romero zombie film, his first in almost 20 years, is like being in a Clint Eastwood Western or a Martin Scorsese gangster epic. It doesn't get much better than this.
Great Shaun of the Dead interview with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright --They both have cameo zombie appearances in Land of the Dead.
"We did it last week. It was fantastic. We went over to Canada and we were in make-up for two or three hours and got made up as zombies. It was like an episode of 'Jim'll Fix It', it was just amazing. [The] Zombies don't actually speak. I was offered a speaking part in the film, but I turned it down. I didn't get to be a zombie in 'Shaun of the Dead', so this was my big chance. So I said I didn't want to be be a speaking actor in this big Hollywood film. I said I'd rather groan and stumble and be unrecognizable."
