British superstar Simon Pegg reflects on making ShaunOfTheDead with director Edgar Wright, calling the zombie comedy a 'love letter.'
In a recent interview, British superstar Simon Pegg reflects on making Shaun of the Dead with director Edgar Wright. 2004's Shaun of the Dead is a zombie comedy film starring Pegg as the titular character with supporting roles from Kate Ashfield, Lucy Davis, Dylan Moran, Bill Nighy, and Penelope Wilton. The film premiered in London and was subsequently a huge commercial success worldwide, grossing $30 million.
In the time since Shaun of the Dead made its resounding impact, Pegg remained busy, landing roles in major motion pictures like Hot Fuzz, Star Trek, and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. During the making of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Pegg and Hollywood action superstar Tom Cruise forged a friendship that has reportedly lasted ever since and only strengthened over time.
We were determined to cram it full of stuff. It was a total love letter, that movie. It was made with complete devotion to George Romero, and to zombies. We wanted it to be for people who felt the same way. We didn’t even know if we were ever going to make a film again. We barely knew this would get made. It was all or nothing, so we just put everything into it.
Pegg and Wright's admiration for filmmaker George Romero clearly shines through in their film. The pair drew inspiration for their movie from many different places, including Romero's 1978 cult classic Dawn of the Dead. In addition to showing respect for zombies, the film writing pair also pay homage to the celebrated horror director through Shaun of the Dead.
Wright and Pegg undoubtedly found a way to blend up the perfect formula for success. Shaun of the Dead proved to be only the first in a line of successful projects where the pair can look back and be proud of the outcome. Despite Pegg's openness about his battles with depression, alcoholism, and overall mental health, the British acting legend is likely to keep producing fan-favorite material time and time again.
