It's a fun world to exist in, and I relish doing those movies as much as I do the smaller ones. They're always immense fun. I don't know if I am - unless we do a Benji film, I don't think I am an action hero really.
Simon PeggThe main jokes in this film are about big things, love and life and zombies - we all get that.
Simon PeggIt's why I get miffed at all the dashing around in recent zombie films. It completely misses the point; transforms the threat to a straightforward physical danger from the zombies themselves, rather than our own inability to avoid them and these films are about us, not them. There's far more meat on the bones of the latter, far more juicy interpretation to get our teeth into. The first zombie is by comparison thin and one dimensional and ironically, it is down to all the exercise.
Simon PeggA biological agent, Iโll buy. Some sort of super-virus? Sure, why not. But death? Death is a disability, not a superpower. Itโs hard to run with a cold, let alone the most debilitating malady of them all.
