Zombies in Haiti

I read almost 10K words about zombies, you're damn right I'm going to share the link. This 2 year old article explores Haiti's real life zombie culture and could either be a great work of fiction or a sad piece of nonfiction. Check it out.

Can Zombies run?

Simon Pegg doesn't think so.

I know it is absurd to debate the rules of a reality that does not exist, but this genuinely irks me. You cannot kill a vampire with an MDF stake; werewolves can't fly; zombies do not run. It's a misconception, a bastardisation that diminishes a classic movie monster. The best phantasmagoria uses reality to render the inconceivable conceivable. The speedy zombie seems implausible to me, even within the fantastic realm it inhabits. A biological agent, I'll buy. Some sort of super-virus? Sure, why not. But death? Death is a disability, not a superpower. It's hard to run with a cold, let alone the most debilitating malady of them all.

World War Z is coming

The movie, based on Max Brooks' book, is finally getting going. I loved the book and am excited for the movie. Robert Richardson, who was the cinematographer on Kill Bill and Natural Born Killers, has begun work in London. Imagining how grisly Richardson will make this movie, based on his previous work, kind of makes me nervous.

Olly Moss Movie Poster Design

I didn't realize last week that the zombie food chain shirt was made by Olly Moss, the guy who made the "Spoilt" T shirt with all the movie spoilers on it. He's good.

Now he's reimagined a collection of movie posters in a sparse, delicious style.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is good. Rain Man is super clever, but Die Hard is the best.

Zombies At The Top Of The Food Chain



As Boston Biker said, "You've been warned."

Marc Forster To Direct World War Z

"The genre always fascinated me, and when they pitched it to me, it reminded me of the paranoid conspiracy films of the '70s like All The President's Men."
