“With films, I just scribble a couple of notes for a scene. You don't have to do any writing at all, you just have your notes for the scene, which are written with the actors and the camera in mind. The actual script is a necessity for casting and budgeting, but the end product often doesn't bear much resemblance to the script--at least in my case.” WritingMindEndsFilmActorsCasesWrittenProductsBearsCoupleSceneCamerasNotesScriptsCastingResemblanceScribblesBudgeting Author:Woody Allen

“When you start out as an actor, you read a script thinking of it at its best. But that's not usually the case in general, and usually what you have to do is you have to read a script and think of it at its worst.

“The zombie threat is made worse by the fact that their victims then turn into the creature that attacked them. This too is similar to other monsters (werewolves and vampires) and also similar to the sub-genre of infection/plague films. In the case of zombies, however, this may carry a greater sense of dread and revulsion: vampires and werewolves can be seen as desirable, potent, intelligent, virile creatures whom one might like -- in some way at least -- to become; a mindless ghoul condemned to wander aimlessly across an empty, ruined earth seems much less attractive.” WayMayMadeFactsSeemsMightEarthFilmTurnsCasesGreaterCreaturesEmptyIntelligentVictimThreatMonstersWanderVampireGenreAttractiveDreadRuinedDesirableZombiePlagueWerewolfInfectionMindlessGhoulsRevulsion Author:Kim Paffenroth
