I’d like to see the Zombie film revived [laughs]! Because I ain’t seen one for many, many years. At the very point that Shaun Of The Dead came out, Zack Snyder’s Dawn Of The Dead came out. And I wish that film hadn’t been called Dawn Of The Dead. It’s a good film, it’s its own thing. The guy from “Modern Family” is in it [Ty Burrell] and he has a great line when someone asks “are they dead?” And he replies, “Deadish.” They should have called that film Deadish and it would have been its own thing. But naming it after the greatest zombie film ever made, in my opinion, it stole something and re-designed it in a way that completely went against what made Romero’s zombie films great. The idea that the zombies were ineffectual was brilliant and genius. And they were also sympathetic, you were able to spend screen time with them and see who they were and it was brilliant. Suddenly they’re running around, screaming like raptors and it takes away everything that was subtle about it. Zack Snyder made a very effective movie, it’s very exciting. But if had just been given a new designation, “neo zombies” or “super zombies.” World War Z was just “ants” for me. - Simon Pegg
