Zombie Bill Murray?!? And no, not in GHOSTBUSTERS 3...

Published at:  Apr 28, 2009 12:10:07 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If the idea of a zombie Bill Murray appeals to you, then you need to get in line for ZOMBIELAND now. I first heard this scuttlebutt from ShockTillYouDrop and then an hour or so ago the good folks at Bloody-Disgusting ran what is either the original source for the STYD article or a confirmation via an advertisement on Craigslist for a prop sale on the show. You can read that here.

I'm not sure to what extent we'll be seeing Mr. Murray in the film, but if the early rumors are to be trusted then we'll be seeing him as a full on zombie. That, my friends, is why I love movies. The magic of cinema is Bill Murray as a zombie. Period.

The flick also stars Jesse Eisenberg, the delicious Amber Heard, Abigail Breslin, Emma Stone and Woody Harrelson.

    than maybe you'll like the series of 'zombi-ganda' prints i have for sale at TravisPitts.imagekind.com base in a very WWZ and FIDO world where America went to war with the undead in the 40's and 50's.

    sorry, i know it's a shameless plug but i just lost my day job! Zombi-ganda will be a series of 6 to 8 poster prints, and I will be uploading more prints daily. also check out my retro movie poster redesigns like PREDATOR and Big Trouble in Little China! thanks, and apologies for having to slum it in the talkbacks.

    About these cutesy words...

    by spud mcspud

    Actually, Amy, I'm just joshing you. But I REALLY hate stuff like in THE TIMES, where this week's Saturday magazine featured an article on their latest cutesy made-up word: ALDIRATI. As in ALDI-RATI, used to describe rich people who think they are in some way compromising their lives and social standing by shopping in Aldi occasionally to offset their plummeting personal wealth. Presumably they think it makes them socially aware and fiscally responsible. Whatever - I think if you're a writer paid to come up with shit like "Aldirati" (adding -rati or -ati on the end of a word to invent a new buzz-word shoud get you FUCKING SHOT anyway) you should do the right thing and take a long walk off a short roof, on a very high building. These fucking parasites are what's wrong with Britain - not the honest rich, who expand their wealth by work and effort, but the so-called idle rich, who have time to come up with hatefully hip terms like fucking "Aldirati". GGGAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!

    Get Lost Jarv on this whole buzz-word thing. He's a Camdenite, he'll understand.
