Shaun of the Dead: Secrets, Mistakes, and the Making of a Classic

The success of director Edgar Wright's 2004 zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead (part of his popular Cornetto trilogy - and a movie that’s gained a great deal of recognition for the way in which it blends comedy and horror into a fun and often bitterly ironic tale) - and its success – is often attributed to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who star in that movie. The actors who play Shaun – an ambitionless slacker - and his lazy friend Ed, (two buddies - they are struggling to make it through the apocalypse). They also want to get back to life, and in which case - a lot of those characters - who are forced to rescue the buddies. This makes for the film - it’s quite an interesting story - one that fans have loved - they have been eager to see that movie again. This has also given those viewers that sense of what to expect (it's also a movie that’s quite funny) and its been well-received – its been considered by critics - to have those key elements, that help to bring the movie together.

One of those scenes is set - with a scene at the Winchester (an important location in the movie) a pub, where a lot of the key characters are forced to make a big decision (about their futures), there’s a chance that the scene, might bring viewers back - that’s how its set up - for those who are watching and how those scenes are played out - there’s that element of shock - which could give those viewers that sense of humor. It's one of those moments that’s key for the movie to deliver - an amazing and at times chilling experience.

Jessica Hynes, the actress - she has had quite a few different roles in the film and, the show and also with her roles – those viewers have seen some interesting stories - a key player - in those movies and television series (and a very talented individual - she brings that element to her performance – an actress, who is often described as someone who is also able to have a lot of fun and be at ease in front of a camera, those scenes are also some of the most entertaining, making the show so well received, its that element that has been so important – that gives that feeling of what’s coming up next. That’s why the audience can also find themselves coming back - for more. There’s a feeling of intense humor and some scenes that are full of action)

The scene with Hynes (her performance is quite remarkable) it's the scene where a character - and she is forced to take a role in that moment, a part of the movie – where it is a very exciting and dramatic experience) those viewers are going to see. Those audiences - they are going to love the storyline that she develops and its a key part of how the movie unfolds. It’s been a key element, that has been well received – a movie that is very important to the Cornetto Trilogy (this collection of movies, a very well-regarded series of films), its also a very distinctive film - and it’s a movie that’s set to be a great addition (those fans – that's how the movie has made a mark).
