I don't know about doing a sequel. I think you can retroactively damage a product by adding to it.
british-comedian bulk marks
There are a lot of visual marks that have to be hit, and lines that need to be said in a right way - so there wasn't really any improvisation on the set when it came to the bulk of the script.

I loved playing Shaun, he's not that different from me.
across british-comedian goes hung notice shop
That's what we wanted to get across in that moment, particularly when Shaun goes to the shop when he's all hung over. He doesn't notice any of the zombies around him just because he never had before, so why should he at that point?

Both me and Edgar are firm believers in never underestimating or talking down to an audience, and giving an audience something to do, to give them something which is entirely up to them to enter into the film and find these hidden things and whatever.

blown british-comedian event frightened life massive people problems saw social spiders stop suddenly
We suddenly saw how people reacted in the event of massive social upheaval, and the way that the little problems in your life don't go away. You don't stop being frightened of spiders just because the world's blown up.
british-comedian changing people word
Because once the word got out that we were making Shaun of the Dead, we didn't want people to think we were backtracking or changing our minds.
british-comedian certain character rectify work
We work with every one of them to see if their character wouldn't say a certain thing or if something is worded awkwardly - we work with them to rectify that.
british-comedian happen humor rather result
We wanted the humor to happen as a result of the zombies, you know? Like the humor being a result of their presence, rather than them being funny.
