my ideas for a film/ create-a-zombie lab

Lucid Lounge

GAH! this is so annoying :grrr:
ok so…ive been working on a film ive wanted to do for a long time…its like a take on all the great zombie movies and even has its own mystery man (like g man for those who have played hl2)
but the problem is…my ideas that i thought of myself are somehow being stolen and used by other famous people
first…the title…it was gonna be “Waking Dead” then i saw that Derick Brown…the psycic guy from tv…he made a hypnotizing zombie game with THE SAME DAMN NAME!! :eh:

so i though “yeah ok the name things probably just a coincidence right?” then i say a trailer for the upcoming movie (allready released for all you lucky americans :content: ) “Land of the Dead”…they used the most important thing for my film.
learning zombies…this was my “big gun” if you like…the thing that nobody had seen before that nobody saw coming.
then this romeo dude goes and does it before i even have chance
in my film…they start out as the “classic” zombie…slow…dumb…as.s ugly :content: . Then about 1/4 into the film the figure out simple melee weapons and not long after…sharp melee’s (knives and such) :bored:
this continues to evolve into more dangerouse and effective weapons as the film progresses and near the end they figure out guns :eek: theyre still learning though so reloading/cleaning and sometimes even realising theyre out of ammo is still beyond theyre reach…they also aim like a drunk on monday morning. i was so exited when i first thought of this a fair few months ago :cool_laugh: and now i see a trailer where i guy gets attacked by a zombie WITH A FRICKING ASSAULT RIFLE!!! :eek: :cry: :cry: :cry:
[/rant over from this point its just mindless screaming and banging head onto random stuff/]
WHAAAAAAAAAAGHAAAAAAAAAAAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAWEEEEEEEEEMWAHAHAHAHAAAA
man this sucks…you think i’d get sued if i went over and kicked Goerge’s big a.ss right now :cry: ?

Geez where have you been posting your ideas?!?!?! You have to be so careful!

thats just it…i havnt told ANYBODY!
apart from my dad and i dont think he was really listening
mutter George A Romeo pff…whatta… mutter

I dont think he stole ur idea, he just thought of the same thing. George A. Romero is probably the best known movie director and creator in the occult film world! He started the whole zombie movie craze with night, dawn and day of the living dead. His movie day of the dead which came out a long time ago, like the early 80s at least, even had a sub plot about a zombie and a scientist who experimented on him. The zombie was learning, and by the end of the movie he even got his hand on a gun and shot one of the still living characters. This was the last movie in the series Romero created, and now like 20 years later he decided to continue where he left off with Land of the Dead. I really think hes just trying to pick up where he left off and continue the Learning Zombie concept he originaly dubbed into in Day of the Dead, 20 years ago.
Don’t feel too bad like your idea has been stolen. Even though you may have never heard of all this stuff before it can be frustrating to think you found gold but realize someone else already dug it up. I suggest you pick yourself up and move onto a new idea.

i know he didnt really steal the idea
but like you say…you find the holy grail and reliese its on
private property
but what other types of zombie can there be?
you got your classic slow ones :bored: …the creepy runners :help: and the new generation of smart ones :eek: …then what? :confused:
i need something
idea’s are really aprecciated :help:
maybe this thread should be called “create-a-zombie lab” :content:

zombies that can fly!

You mean Derren Brown, right? Not Derick :wink:.

BTW - in your list of different types of zombies - you missed out the ones that can talk. They’ve been around for years.

And Japanese (or is it Chinese? I forget…) zombies. That can jump around, do martial arts and eventually turn into vampires (which also hop around and do martial arts, but also have magical powers and are very hard to kill).

Then you have your animal zombies (dogs, birds, alligators, elephants etc.) from the Resident Evil series.

There are so many types of zombies out there, you’ll be hard pressed to create origional ones.

lol guys :content:
i should really have pointed out that these are non-magic zombies :smile: and i know this sounds picky but talking zombies arent really zombies…just brain damaged people who everyone thought was dead. :tongue:
but whatever this could be fun so…knock yourselves out with the creating :smile: …magic n’ all :content:

Hmm… alien zombies? Some Martians escape from a government facility, get killed, and come back… as zombie aliens. They’re twice as ugly as human zombies–'cos they’re aliens-- and could even be intelligent. But still gross. Like peeling green skin and bulging brains and whatnot.

GOLD! lol…

10

how bout zombies that cant die. so that the best way to stop them is like, chop off their head arms and legs…then all u gotta worry about is hands crawling around.

11

hehe good ideas
i dont have the budget for alien zombies maybe i can put 1 in the background as a joke or something
invincible zombies are pretty cool…only way to kill them would be to reduce them to a pile of ash or something similar…thats a good idea garebear

12

Derren Brown did the invincible zombie thing :wink:. quite funny really - no matter how many times that guy shot the zombies, they just got up again :tongue:.

13

haha poor randomguy cant get an original idea brake. hmm how bout zombies that are stronger than normal humans, and pretty smart, they dont use weapons but it only takes one to take someone down if they catch em. maybe these zombies are more violent, instead of just trying to grab someone to bite them, they kill their victims first b4 feeding on them, like they can beat people up and use melee weapons. ??? i dunno there might be all there can be in the zombie field. wut about a movie with all children zombies, cus they are the freakiest. lil creepy snarling bastards, tons of em. shudders

14

Sureal: yeah i know :content: poor guy was crapping himself :grin: …i kinda thought the hypnotist went a bit too far when the guy barracaded himself in that room and this wierd guy slowly walks toward him and no matter how much he shot he just sloooowly walked towardhim and grabbed the screaming guys head :bored: …poor bas*erd

Garebear: what you mean lke 28 days later?..but with rot and canniblism? :grin: …hmmm maybe your onto something there

All: i might put both garebears ideas (invincible and violent)
together and see what we get…like…the virus in their brains evolve…so that brain dammage is easily repaired …so a bullet to the brain just makes them go ultra dumb for a few mins/secs while they heal…maybe they die for a few mins then come back…the only way to perminantly kill them is by fire…or something similar…they cant bite as a pile of ash

ok…new questions…when they get shot in the face should they…
A: just stumble a bit and ignore the wound like if they were shot anywhere else? :eek:
B: stop what theyre doin and stand around swaying and looking like a drooling spaz for a minuite or so :eh:
C: die for however long …then come back and grab the ankle of a nearby person (this would seem the coolest way for the first encounter of these type of zomB’s :cool: )
if i can be bothered i might put a short movie together and see what we get…dont expect much…just my back garden prolly lol… this might give me a chance to test my “headshot” machine…i think you can guess what it does :bored: :grin:

I was bored, so I wrote this after I read your above message:

[i]A new type of tumour has been recently discovered. One with most peculiar attributes.
This tumour seems to feed off the human brain that it is attached too, drawing out the power to fill itself.

And – believe this or not – that isn’t actually the oddest part. No – for it seems that this tumour carries on living, even after its host has died. But a dead host is no good to it – a dead human has no brainpower.
The tumour seems to be able to kick-start the human host after it has died. Of course, it does not run at full capacity, resulting in severe brain damage and what seems to be a complete deletion of the original personality.

Only the most basic survival instincts remain – to eat, to mate and to survive.

When it comes to food, the dead are not picky. They will devour the first edible substance they come across – even if it still alive.

Amazingly, the infected dead to indeed mate. Although we have not seen the outcome (if any at all), it is still an odd and – quite often – disturbing scene to watch.
We do not know if the infected would attempt to mate with the living too – although we assume they would – as we have not given them the chance (although it would be interesting to see what would happen in regards to the offspring). All contact with humans is watched closely by armed guards.

It seems that of the three instincts, the will to survive is the weakest. Some of us have suggested that this may be due to the brain damage – that recognising danger is too complex a task for them.

The tumour is also highly contagious – all the fluids in the infected’s body seem to carry the fault – and should it mix with anyone else’s, then the chances of such a tumour forming on their brain seem to be around ninety eight percent.

So far we have mostly kept this quarantined – and outbreak would spawn disaster.

On a last interesting note, it seems that very few animals are susceptible to the tumour. So far we have found that only mammals with fairly large brains (humans, monkeys, dolphins, dogs and so on) can carry the tumour.[/i]

The whole tumour thing wasn’t my idea - I came from some very minor site that I do not know the URl of.

Zombies are cool :content:.

P.S. I’d go for C :smile:.

16

c it is :content:
but thats kinda creepy…the dead reproducing the dead?? :eek: …and zombie dogs??..it was supposed to be restricted to humans and some monkeys…although i would like to see a zombie dolphin :tongue: …grabs shotgun :cool:

Wow. That was a good one Surreal! IDK, it’s not origional but the Anita Blake books are about a zombie raiser and there was one where another powerful voodoo person would combine body parts and make frankenstein zombies but big blobs, you know, like a mountain of moving body parts. There was another one who could mold people together that were dead but their souls were trapped inside their dead bodies…nightmares. You could explore the rituals around that.Or you could film it from that point of view. I’ve come up with some ideas about a villain who does similar. I always think things are scarier when there is a good backround. Like Surreal’s tumor thing. Just Zombies going around killing is boring.

18

it depends…some people think its scaryer when their’s no explination (dawn of the dead)…but some think a background story makes it better.
this is just an idea from the top of my head but what if when the virus mutates (to create invincible’s) maybe…something goes wrong in some people and it mutates their bodys into something else?..like the licker from resident evil or the zombies from half life 1

19

Sounds good.

Just keep on throwing out loads of ideas, then pick your favourite ones :wink:.

Yeah combining stuff is good too. The more complex the better. And leaving some mystery is good but more in the way you cut it. Show some of the backround but don’t explain it all. There’s a difference between saying here’s some zombies, don’t know how they got here and oh bad guy up to something but it went wrong now we are all scr*wed!
