School of the Dead (Working Title)

Something I've been working on, on and off for last year. This is a zom/com feature. So I attached the draft first 12 pages would love to hear what you guys honestly think because it's not like anything I've done before.

Hope you all enjoy.

I even laughed at the very very first line - EXT. SPACE - NIGHT!!

If the rest is as good as that this is going to be incredible!

Seven pages in and enjoying it so far. I'll read the rest later.

Well, I liked it. Some really nice bits of dialogue.

One or two grammatical errors that made my blood boil but otherwise really enjoyable.

Is it a bit too soon after Dead Set? Possibly. I suppose if you want to do a zombie feature, then some things are never going to change.

Agreed. But, for Gav, I didn't think it was too bad. ;)

Felt more like Shaun Of The Dead to me, which isn't a bad thing.

Thanks mate. Yeh fair point on grammar I'll review that.

Uhh I not sure I started it before Dead Set lol! zombie films are a pain in the ass to write becuase a new one comes out every 5 days but I hope to finish it by end of summer, and start approaching people with it.

It does get a little more clever later on but you'll have to wait for that :D

Yeh it's a bit more Shaun then Dead Set, but I have cranked up the violence a fair bit from it's orginal draft so it's a bit more urgent and less meandering :)

It's awesome, Gav! I really want to know what's going to happen now!

Thank you Robyn :)

Posting to remind myself to read. Will edit with feedback later. :)
