You've got red on you : how Shaun of the dead was brought to life / Clark Collis.

Collis, Clark, (author.).

Summary:

"How did a low-budget British movie about Londoners battling zombies in a pub become a beloved global pop culture phenomenon? You've Got Red on You details the previously untold story of 2004's Shaun of the Dead, the horror-comedy whose fan base continues to grow and grow. The book reveals how a group of friends overcame repeated setbacks to make a movie which was not only a hit in the UK, but took a big bite out of the American box office before ascending to the status of a bona fide comedy classic. Author Clark Collis of Entertainment Weekly interviewed dozens of people involved with the creation of this "romantic-zombie-comedy" including director Edgar Wright and cast members Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield, Bill Nighy, Lucy Davis, and the cameo appearance-making Coldplay singer Chris Martin. You've Got Red on You also features commentary from many of the movie's celebrity fans such as directors Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, Walking Dead executive producer Greg Nicotero, and World War Z author Max Brooks. To quote Simon Pegg's titular, zombie-fighting hero, "How's that for a slice of fried gold?""-- Provided by publisher.
