Things you think should be in the movie (regardless of plot)

So I think we should write a list of things that people think ought to be in the movie regardless of what the story is- set pieces/stunts/random things that are cool!!

mine are (so far)
-a miniature set of a house on fire!
-a zombie getting punched through the head
-someone eating 'intestines' from a still living corpse (uh... ie, a living person )
-someone hitting someone with their own arm that has been torn off

I don't know if/how any of these would actually be possible but it would be awesome if they did!!

What other things do you think are ubiquitous or just generally cool/funny/scary ideas for things in the movie?

-Local media coverage ( I know a radio guy, I'll ask him if he can help)

-Statements from the government (I think we should include Chad Conway in the movie, if only in name alone XD)

-international interaction via Youtube and other internet things

oh yeah some of the ideas that were in the video comments which I liked were:

'urban' zombies
people in wheelchairs cause they aren't ever in these things- it would be pretty awesome to have someone in a wheelchair blowing away zombies with a shotgun!!

ill post more as I think of them/see any good ones

-AS said before slow but can use bursts of speed
-bloody...VERY BLOODY (the audience loves the gore
-hisses and roars
-very powerful
-most of them smart but also some that can operate firearms and machinery
-most travel in packs like wolves
-It wont take one small bite to infect them but many bites or a large chunk of flesh

I'll think of some more when I watch some other movies

"-someone hitting someone with their own arm that has been torn off"


i quite like that
they did it in Anchorman, and it was HILARIOUS.
zombies doing it would be even more amazing.

I love the idea and iv got a shirt with an arm torn off from a previous video i did if needed but im thinking...won't that be a bit comedic, are we aiming for a comedy horror or just a horror?

I think we should definately have:
- a zombie walking around without a head...unless taking off the head is how we kill them...
- someone peeling a chunk of flesh from somwhere on them...possibly their face
- a shot where the camera zooms through a large crowd of zombies
- some kind of emotion somewhere, i think a couple who are in love and one of them has been bitten and could at any point become a zombie or some kind of emotion like that will involve the audience even more.
- If we are making it comedy we should have a zombie doing an every day task like washing the dishes or shopping in a supermarket...
- Big iconic landmarks, i dunno, if we are shooting in london, a huge group of zombies going across tower bridge or...we could have a scene with some zombies talking a nice scenic trip on the London eye with the city in the background in total devistation...

There will be something i've missed i can feel it

Such neat ideas! I absolutely love gore! I know how to make head and body casts, and if anyone wants the information I'm totally be willing to pass it on to them. That is, anything can be found on the internet... so my offer isn't too useful.

I like the ideas of:

- A jaw being ripped off, or a zombie with a loose jaw and teeth showing through the cheek.
- Zombie babies (although it's been done a lot, and animatronics/puppetry is the most realistic way to do it, unless someone has a really young sibling to paint up)
- I agree with the intestines part!!!
- And someone getting hit with their own limbs
- A zombie or person getting hit with a car (bus or semi would be cool, but that's a little unrealistic and dangerous) and exploding
- Reanimator jokes

I have a dedicated prosthetics artist in my crew so I could bring some serious gore to the movie.

I could easily round up abound 10 made-up zombies for either an 'oh noes zombies in the street' shot or an actually mega violent bloody scene.

Did I mention that I can vomit blood on demand?

-have the torso of a zombie walking around(on his hands) or crawling after someone
-a zombie gets stowed in the trunk of someones car and finds his way into the car where the people are while driving that is
-a creepy house scene where a kid goes to find his friend only to find that the electricity is out and his friend is a zombie and he has to chose whether to kill his best friend or not

if the zombies can go underwater without having to breathe then you could have a scene with some ppl fishing and the zombies enter the lake and board the boat...? maybe? i dunno about that last one

-Catch ya on the flip side

to go along with that last post with the creepy house scene...thats where you could have the house blow up... cause the gas on the stove is left on from the mother cooking right before she was turned into a zombie and when the kid decides he has to kill his friend or turn into a zombie himself then the spark from the bullet going off in the gun sets the gas on fire and blows up the house....wow i typed that fast.....make sense though?

-Catch ya on the flip side

I really like all of these ideas and here are some of mine-

-the fiveawesomegirls and guys either as zombies or fighting zombies!!
-and some people going around killing zombies and then turn into zombies and start killing people!!

thanks

I can't sleep and I had a couple of ideas for the movie.

I think a brilliant start to the movie would be someone making a vlog (ie. from the perspective of the camera being used to record the vlog) and saying how "this is kinda weird but yeah, it's like one in the morning and there's some guy in my garden just walking around." (obviously this vlog is being recorded before the knowledge anyone has any knowledge of a zombie epidemic) "I've tried to speak to him from my window but he just moans... I think he got lost on the way back from the pub. He seems pretty wasted..." or words to that effect, basically taking a light hearted view on the situation. But then, over the innocent vlogger's shoulder, we see the aforementioned zombie silently shuffle closer and closer towards the camera from say, the front door - the vlogger is unaware until it's too late... we witness the moment of the attack, the camera falls to the floor, and then after an immediate snap to a black screen, we see the name of the movie fade in over ominous tones. This would be especially awesome if we got a YouTube celebrity, or even a celebrity (Simon Pegg would be fucking perfect haha - if only!) to do it.

Take from that what you will script writers!

Other things which would be cool imo:
- scene(s) in a supermarket. endless opportunities for comedic situations.
- someone recording a happy slap being performed on a zombie, then the zombie's head spinning off.
- someone distracting a zombie or group of zombies during a chase with the classic "look over there!". Perhaps by shouting "Look! Brains!"
- chavs start on zombie. chavs get eaten.
- a zombified nerimon, charlieissocoollike, paperlilies, mememolly, thewinekone, thehill88, frezned and more!
- cheesey lines! Shaun of the Dead and Spaced did this brilliantly; "sorry, it's time at the bar", "what's wrong - never taken a shortcut before?", and "take a bite o' peach" to name but a few.
- when the movie is put on youtube, at the end of the credits, i definitely think there should be a zombified youtube celeb walking towards the screen with arms outstretched moaning "raaate... raaaaaate..."

OH! and I think this one is really worth mentioning - as soon as filming starts, people should keep their funniest outtakes so we can sew together a collection of the best ones to play during the end credits! I reckon there'll be some hilarious cock ups on set where ever people are in the world!

Finish writing the script already! I'm raring to go and start this thing going!!

A kungfu fight... with a zombie that knows kungfu. Not the wirefu or bland overedited fight stuff Hollywood is known for, but a good old fashioned "southern Chinese hands" style fight. I've studied martial arts a long time and it's been a long running goal to make a kungfu zombie short. I even had the moves planned. Zombie palm, corpse kick, etc. Ah well I'll film it one of these days.

How about redneck drunks trying to pick up some zombie girls? That could be some good blue collar comedy ... that would be funny - I don't care who you are.

-Maybe bring in some zombies laughing at famous youtube faces?
I can imagine a zombie breaking into a house where the computer is on with Chris Crocker. Zombie starts guffawing (real word?) and motions for its friends and they all laugh at it. - Maybe a subtitle, "What a loser/etc"?

-Two words; Zombie Love. At some point some cheesy love music should be played (or 'Happy Together') with two zombies running towards each other across a field or whatever.

-A zombie/all zombies have a really weird/pathetic phobia? Ice cream vans? That creepy creepy music?

-Paperlilies? In that video for your brother you both did some laughing, laughing, GLARE thing? Maybe at the end of the film there could be zombie you/your brother (sorry, don't know his name!) doing that. I would laugh.
