Cockneys vs Zombies (film) - UK zomcom

[MinionZombie]

Doesn't look as enduringly brilliant as Shaun of the Dead, but nonetheless, it actually looks like jolly good fun - I'll have to check it out when it hits DVD.

Urrrgh but cockneys though, horrid people! I had the "pleasure" of their rudeness & arrogance again in Corfu last week. Northerners are far better & wittier, it should be Yorkshire vs Zombies

Urrrgh but cockneys though, horrid people! I had the "pleasure" of their rudeness & arrogance again in Corfu last week. Northerners are far better & wittier, it should be Yorkshire vs Zombies "The Living Dead Oop Norf, By 'Eck" I suppose Cockneys are more internationally known as a 'British icon' ... still though, it does look like it could be a rather enjoyable flick.

Trailer made me smile, looks fun,

Read a review of it in Total Film - they gave it 3/5 - not brilliant, and naturally not Shaun-level, but seems to be good, solid fun. Interestingly enough, it's directed by a German bloke.

Here's the thing, I can speak Somalian, yet when she goes into cockney mode, I have no idea what she is banging on about!

Having been in it I can tell you its a very fun film, doesn't take it's self too seriously as you can tell from the trailer but has some good zombie moments in. Plus it features that amazing actor Chris Knight *looks shifty* among other Brit icons. Trailer rightly misses out some of the best comedy and gore/horror bits, which makes a change.

Cool - what was your experience like on set? Meet any British icons, etc?

Yep got to speak to Honor Blackman and Richard Briars and Dudley Sutton all lovely polite people who really seamed to enjoy it as did most of the cast ,Michelle again was very friendly and a sight for sore dead eyes. I get killed by Alan Ford (Brick Top) and he was definetley game for it as the replica rifle he has shouldered around him weighs a ton but didn't slow him down at all.

I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for that. Sounds like it was jolly good fun to shoot.

Mark Kermode's review of the flick: Gets the thumbs up.

[Knighty]

I really enjoyed it, I think it's more of a broad comedy than Shaun (which I hate to keep coming back to but every other review seems to) and the horror is very much secondary but it has a lot of warmth for its characters and surroundings. Some great gore and gags throughout and it doesn't outstay it's welcome. A bit of a shame it didn't get the wide release it deserves as its a real crowd pleaser but it will do very well on DVD, as well it should.
