My Adventures Among the Undead

So... I get a call on my way home from work yesterday. "You got to go to such and such place and check out what's happening. They're filming a zombie movie and need extras." Yeah... you know I was on it.
But as I pulled up, I noticed the whole shebang coned off. Definitely looked like a closed set. Things were happening. Namely people running. Cars on fire. Director barking. However, NO extras. So I turn around.
I call my friend and tell her she's mistaken. Definitely a movie. No casting for extras. At this point, I was promptly told to turn my **** around and park four blocks away and just walk onto the set. She swore they were casting.
So sucker that I am, I go back and do as instructed. Walk right onto the set and stand around. Same cool **** happening. Zombies running. Cut. Cars exploding. Cut. Zombies running some more. Cut. It's about this point that my phone rings. I do what people tend to do when their phone rings and pull it out of my pocket. Two pivotal things occurred at this point.
1) The freakin' director walks over and (not so) politely tells me I better not take any pictures.
2) I fully realized that I had no right WHATSOEVER to be on this CLOSED set.
Yeah... I had just wandered in and made myself at home. Cool of 'em to allow it.
Did I mention I was standing right next to Woody Harrellson at one point?

I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

Dude...they need to make World War Z...then I will be effing excited. I know it is in production at this point, but once they start shooting will I be happy.
I dont care for zombie flicks....(sorry but I do) but damn was that one of the better books I have read in the last 5-6 years. -
Didja see Emma Stone? That would've made my day...Ludicrous gibs!

Thats way cool....nice!!
Here's another little known fact about myself,so I can relate....in my mid 20's,I used to be a stuntman,went to school for it,taught you how to get lit on fire,roll cars,fall off of buildings and so on.By chance,I landed a couple rolls in some b movies.To be in the movies here in chicago,you have to bang on alot of doors,and they are all in the downtown area.Not exactly condusive to a married guy in the burbs with 2 kids and a day job.Fun though,and if your single,why not.Who knows,maybe this will be the start of a new career for ya Zombie.HT SYSTEM-

The more I read up on this, the more I realize my **** should have been kicked off the property. Some fanboy sites are saying everything is being kept extremely hush hush. All extras have to sign off stating that anything seen on set must be kept secret from family, friends, etc. I guess I kinda already slipped up there. Oopsy daisy.
Now I know why the director was so rude - thinking that I might snap a few shots.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich.

Your career is over. Good zombie story though.
