This first feature from the makers of "Spaced" is a bit special?

The Zombies Attack!

This year, 2020 were lucky enough to be asked to provide artistes to a film called "Shaun of the Dead."

This wonderful "Romantic (Zombie) Comedy" has been written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, whose previous collaberations include the astonishingly innovative (as well as very funny) "Spaced." Produced by Big Talk and Working Title 2, many 2020 artistes appear as Zombies, alongside others who volunteered through the "Spaced" websites. Look out for some great features from Sam Day as a guest on "Tricia" as well as Laurence Murray, Simba Ngei, Don Wetherhead and Dean Martin as particularly bloodthirsty undead fiends! You may even notice some 2020 Zombies on the posters now all over town - check out the divine Salo Gardner!

"I want to eat your brain" acting...

2020 Technical also got involved with one of our foremost Military experts, Mr. Rhidian Bridge, providing some on set technical advice.

It was not only great fun to be involved in for both staff and artistes, due to a lovely production team, but it looks like being a great example of what our industry can produce when talent is aknowledged and the right people are given the opportunity to create great film. We are very proud to have been had a (bit!) part in bringing Shaun of the Dead to the screen...

Naturally, the final hurdle for "Shaun" is to realise it's potential at the box office. So go and see it! Preferably several times! Tell your friends and make them go too!
