How About Skyscraper Zombies?

[DubiousComforts]

How about the survivors do in fact manage to make contact with the outside, but "help" is in the form of a helicopter and they have to flee upward? Hasn't this same premise been done already with [REC]?

28 Days Later addressed many of the issues including barricades on the ground floor, raiding other apartments for supplies, lack of access to fresh water.

I think it has potential honestly.

As long as it was effectively "Die Hard with zombies" German terrorists seize a christmas party full of office workers trying to heist the vault in the chaos of the zombie outbreak. The tough NY cop estranged husband of one of the executives has to kill the terrorists and stop the zombies advance(I'm thinking the TV with the C4 in the elevator shaft scene here) The terrorists would provide the source for weaponry as they had submachineguns, assault rifles, grenades and an anti tank weapon. Lots of cannon fodder office workers too. You could put in a siege as well while they waited out the rescue chopper as most high rise office buildings have plenty of kitchens, cafeterias and vending machines. Yippee-ki-yay dead motherfucker. Hell, Bruce Willis might be available he's not exactly making a lot of movies lately.

Here you go... Base it in here Bwahaha Classic! It's a great idea, save for the possibility that some cheesy Syfy () project claim-jumping the idea first and thus crapping all over it. But the setting would be great, when you think about it...at least it seems fun when I picture it.

But the setting would be great, when you think about it...at least it seems fun when I picture it. Trying to secure each floor to prevent the creatures coming up the stair wells... Trying to secure food/supplies from lower floors/rooms? Maybe by using air ducts / elevator shafts?
