• I wouldn’t call it a “Walking Dead Spec Script.”. That’s like calling a sci fi script a “Star Trek Spec.”.

• So “Maggie” is about “…the six-week metamorphosis of a 16-year-old teenage girl into a zombie”, with a father-daughter hook.
  Dad: “Wake up Maggie, I think I’ve got something to say to you…you don’t look so good.”
  Daddy’s little girl loses her pretty.
  Been done, see the Twilight series.
  Zombie, vampire…big diff, the girls still look like shit.

  I’d like to see the reverse-a zombie turned into a pretty 16-yr old. Who says beauty is only skin deep?

  • The arrogant, “I’m so bored” tone of your response, so dismissive and pretentious is the essence of the most annoying kind of post on this site. If you want to see the script that you suggest, go write it and then wait for the wannabes to tear it down.

  • Hollywood loves zombies because it’s typecasting.
    Go to “development” meetings at the studios. Lunch with some PR & agent & actor types at Nobu.
    Zombies in action.
    “Write what you know”…cliche writing advice.
    So, screenwriters write about zombies based on their lives.
    Except they don’t dress Zombies in a blue blazer, jeans, white open-necked shirt. They should. And give the Zombie an iPhone 4.

    • Each of the Resident Evil films made more money than its predecessor. “Shaun of the Dead” is a modern classic, and “The Walking Dead” had the highest ratings of any basic cable drama of all time. Along with the other examples, I’m pretty sure that’s why the zombie genre is still undead and kicking!

• Is this a satire about the pangs of losing a teenage daughter to ‘coming of age’? If so, love it. If not, still love it.

• Sorry, but this one was one of the mowt boring scripts I have read in a while. Like the Verve guys, but this one is a miss!

• Danny Boyle has insisted that 28 Days… Are not zombie films. They’re infected people. Get a clue. Just go re-watch Brendan Gleeson’s performance once more. Infected. No zombie.
