Now getting very excited. Found out I was short-listed for a role in Brad Pitt's upcoming film World War Z on Monday. Today I found out that I've definitely been picked and I've got a costume fitting on the 2nd August.

£1040 ($1702) for 8 days "work", plus the ability to say I've been in a Brad Pitt film.

SUPER EXCITE!

Pretty gutted at the same time, though, because I went to the casting with Daubster, who travelled all the way from Dundee to Glasgow specifically for the casting and he has heard nothing back so far :(

I'll be sure to bring my camera along with me for some behind the scenes action, assuming it doesn't get taken off me (which it might).
Stay tuned for updates.

A zombie film? Well, what can I say. That's a really damn good accomplishment.
Next thing we hear Urby is gonna design a .gov site or something.

Congrats. I share your enthusiasm, can't wait to see the movie.

Oh don't get excited about the movie itself. I mean, it's called World War Z which doesn't exactly set the bar very high for subtle, artistic, memorable flair.

The movie might be shit after all, but it will worth a thousand times more when you see a friend's face in it!

So are you an extra? Are you going to get blown away on camera? What's the deal?
Commented 13 years ago2011-07-29 04:00:40 UTC Comment #45259
Perhaps blown up on camera, that'd be more fun.

Grats. Have fun. And recommend me as a photographer. And find nice chicks in the 19-25 range to tell about me.

Bring some photos.

Yes, I'm an extra. Yes I am going to die on camera. Yes I am going to come back as a zombie.

Dimbark's Guide to Being a Zombie!

Zombies and ponies are much alike.
You get too close to one, and BAM!
You've become one of them, and
everything is awesome.


1. The area you were bitten must stick out as your bad area. Say if your leg was bitten, you would have a bigger limp than other zombies.

2. If you are female, die naked.

3. Never kill Barabara at first, and let the black man shoot Mr. Cooper. (The Living Dead Reference)

4. If an escolator turns on, fall into a fountain into several pennies to the sound of elevator music. (Dawn of the Dead Reference)

5. Constantly moaan and groan like nothing interests you.

The movie sounds like its going to be a flop but still! Big news!
Commented 13 years ago2011-07-29 17:03:29 UTC Comment #45263
Just read the book. I think the guy who wrote it also Wrote that Zombie Survival Guide(I bought it for the lulz). Hes a kook.
Commented 13 years ago2011-07-29 23:52:36 UTC Comment #45258
I should get around to reading the book.
On a related note, I should also watch the movie and see if I can find you in it.

"The movie sounds like its going to be a flop but still!"

What do you expect, with this cast.

:P

Awesome man. Congrats and good luck with it,
Commented 13 years ago2011-07-30 09:16:28 UTC Comment #45257
Good luck, perhaps you'll make a career on it. Bad luck for Daubster :(
Commented 13 years ago2011-07-30 10:24:34 UTC Comment #45252
Yeah, Max Brooks wrote the Zombie Survival Guide, which is awesome itself. This is turning into a culmination of everything I have a loose connection to!
