Pegg, Frost, and Wright Interviewed on Shaun of the Dead

Frost: I haven't seen it. It was released a week before our film, so it seemed like we got the quickest film to be named after another film.
Pegg: I thought the first ten minutes was very exciting, but in the mall sequence, they missed the point of the original, which was that the survivors set up this strange little bourgeois utopia in a shopping mall and live this kind of odd life there for a long time. In the remake, they're kind of there for a little bit, and then they move on very quickly.
Wright: I also liked the first ten minutes, but I have a big problem with the fast zombies. It goes against the grain of everything that I love about the original films. We had this thing that we thought was funny: the new fast zombies are so agitated and rapid that the Dawn of the Dead remake should have been called 28 Coffees Later. (laughter)
Pegg: It felt like a MTV refit of zombies. It would have been a better film if they hadn't called it Dawn of the Dead, because you're talking about a very underrated but classic film, and the guy who made it can't get his own zombie film (Land of the Dead) made, but then someone comes along and can remake his movie.
