I'd be the one who says, "Let's split up!"

I'd be the one who is positive we can survive this, and am armed with multiple assault rifles, pistols, RPG's, grenades and knives. I'll probably blow my own foot off.

She could tell you, but then she'd have to kill you

I'd be the cynical woman who has a great sex scene (okay, kissing scene if it's PG-13) with the hero and then goes out and dies, guns blazing, to let the others get from the bar to the escape van ...

As far as the part I'd play, I'd be the paranoid survivalist who has been telling everyone for years this was going to happen. I already have the guns and now I have my deuce & a half truck (M35a2) that I can use to run over zombie hordes. So, I'm already prepared for my role.

Do you think I could get a girl partner who is kind of a MacGyver/ "Q"?

I think Stormie and Orthodoc will have to fight for that privilege. And maybe Clod.

Character Treatment
Supporting Artist (spoken part)
Working Title: Zombie Zeitgeist!


Small part at start of film, but large in terms of impact.
Male actor who can pass as qualified/ educated (20+)
Not gruff Professor type (40+), already covered
Ideal casting, ex teen pin-up looking for more serious roles - can wear glasses but ideally only if has long hair.

Pinko liberal type
Set-up: possibly babysitting the child of his estranged wife (child must not be in danger at time of character’s death). Alternatively takes in stray cat. Note - not gay.

Lecturer/ social worker/ biologist/ expert. Person in position of authority, but hapless. Does not meet main cast so no interaction necessary. Potential of minimal contact (telephone) with Heroine, to set her up as well adjusted. Neighbour or college friend, not sibling or ex (see below re ethnicity).

Character unable to accept kill-or-be-killed advice. Not anti-gun, but not a survivor. Killed in pre-title sequence due to poor judgement. Death possibly shown on “live TV” to allow cut-away to main characters’ reactions. Perhaps in bar if that becomes the stronghold.

Ideal part for Native American, so he can be featured heavily in the trailers.

I would be the one taking a hunter's/strategist's approach to the impending hordes, only to be killed due to some fairly simple but yet unencountered fact about the zombies, ala Robert Muldoon from Jurassic Park at the moment he utters "Clever girl...."

It also might happen fairly soon in the movie cuz I'm black and all...

Soz CW.
You're not allowed to make it to the final reel purely based on skin colour.
Since The Night of the Living Dead, that would be a cliche.

And Hollywood hates those.
