#28 DAYS LATER MOVIE POSTERS SERIES#

The film was developed from an episode of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's sitcom Spaced. I guess acting is more fun, but it's certainly a luxury to be able to write for yourself. I think it would be great if there were more actor/writer and /director teams because I think the final piece would have a stronger identity It would be difficult to say which I prefer, writing or acting. I could write whatever I would want to do or see. It would be from the point of view of two bit-players, two idiots who were the last to know what was going on, after waking up hungover on a Sunday morning. One evening, I was round at Simon and his pal Nick Frost's flat for drinks when I said we should make our own zombie movie, a horror comedy. Liz has moved in with Shaun, and Shaun keeps the zombified Ed tethered in his shed, where they play video games together. Six months later, civilisation has returned to normal, and surviving zombies are used as cheap labour and entertainment. The arriving British Army guns down the horde, and take Shaun and Liz to safety. Shaun discovers a keg lift that opens out onto the street, and Ed volunteers to stay with the rifle as the zombies break in. Realising they only have two bullets left, Shaun and Liz contemplate suicide while Ed elects to be devoured by the zombies. Shaun, Liz, and Ed take cover behind the bar, which Shaun sets ablaze before the trio take refuge in the cellar. The zombified Pete appears and bites Ed, and Shaun shoots and kills Pete. Zombies break into the pub, devouring David, and Dianne rushes into the horde in an attempt to avenge him. Shaun, distraught, is forced to shoot Barbara when she reanimates. David attempts to shoot Barbara, but Shaun stops him, causing the group to argue: Shaun accuses David of hating him and being in love with Liz, which Dianne admits. Barbara reveals she was bitten along the way, and dies after giving Liz and Shaun's relationship her approval. They take refuge inside the Winchester, where Shaun discovers that the Winchester rifle above the bar is functional. The group abandon the car and sneak through their London neighbourhood, running into friends and evading zombies by imitating them. Philip reconciles with Shaun before becoming a zombie. They then use Philip's car to pick up Liz and her flatmates, David and Dianne.

They escape in Pete's car and pick up Philip, who's already been bitten, and Barbara. They devise a plan to rescue Liz and Barbara, Shaun's mother, and then wait out the crisis in the Winchester. Shaun and Ed are slow to notice until they encounter two zombies in their garden, whom they beat to death with a shovel and cricket bat. At home, Shaun and Ed's flatmate, Pete, complains of a bite wound from a mugger and berates Shaun into getting his life together.Д«y morning, a zombie apocalypse has overwhelmed London. Heartbroken, Shaun gets drunk with Ed, his slacker best friend, at their favourite pub, the Winchester. He is disrespected by his colleagues, especially Noel, does not get along with his stepfather, Philip, and is dumped by his girlfriend, Liz. In Crouch End, London, electronics salesman Shaun has no direction in his life. The spread of zombiism in the film has been used as a modelling example for disease control. In film studies, the film is seen as a product of post-9/11 anxiety, as well as a model for transnational comedy. It was ranked third on the Channel 4 list of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films and quickly acquired a cult following. It was met with universal acclaim and commercial success, grossing $30 million worldwide against a budget of $6.1 million and receiving two nominations at the British Academy Film Awards. It premiered in London on 29 March 2004 and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2004 and in the United States on 24 September of that same year.

Principal photography took place across London and at Ealing Studios between May and June 2003. The title and plot also refer to the Dead films directed by George A.
