Very, yeah. I mean, we shot that script around. We decided we had a little moment in space where I was fighting zombies. And Edgar and I were like, hey, we should make a zombie movie. I mean, we were so naive, you know, we thought, yeah, let's just do that now.

Absolutely. I mean, my God, I you know, I was such a fan of George Romero growing up. The best moment was when George Romero, who is the godfather of the modern zombie film, watched Shaun of the Dead in a cinema in Florida, guarded by a universal security guard like he was going to steal our movie. When the whole movie was just us stealing his movie.

It's difficult because back then, in 2004, We still went at the point we are now when there are so many different ways to watch movies.

Yeah, Chris McQuarrie, who's the director, did a really good job of sort of like gathering all eight movies and kind of like making this one the culmination of all of them, you know?
