Night Of The Living Trekkies

I agree with hughcasey. This is just a trailer for a book, but Oh My God I Want This Movie.

Wow. Even though I usually don't go for horror/zombie films, I would like to see that one as well. :)

"Were you surprised? -- I was surprised!"

I wanna see this movie, too!

[vik_thor]

LOL!

They're the living dead, Jim!

*facepalms*

They ate Spock's brain!

Heh, when the Botany Bay Convention Center was mentioned, I confess that the first words out of my mouth were:
Botany Bay? Botany BAY?! Oh, no!

I'm not a zombies movie fan... but this... this. Just... oh my. This.

So who do we send money to in order to have this made into a movie? When are they going to set up a kickstarter page? Are they selling shares?

[nagasvoice.livejournal.com]

It'd make an *awesome* zombie movie! Just add lots of action sequences and roll over some SUVs, Bob's your uncle--okay, having Silent Bob in there would be icing on top. But hey, I hear Schwartzennegger might be looking for movie work in a few months, there's a name to conjure with!

Haven't looked at the trailer yet, but I just finished the book and I couldn't agree with you more that this must be filmed.

I think Chris Evans would do well in the lead of Jim Pike.

I kinda agree with James Nicoll that the [foo] and Zombies meme needs to DIAF immediately, but this looks awesome, and really needs to be a movie. I can sell at least 30 tickets in my hometown myself if someone makes it.

Oh My Zod.

Ok I do not care for zombie movies, and I probably won't read the book, but this was kinda funny, especially at the end with the redshirt.

The only thing missing was having a zombie manage to croak out those immortal words of Landru: YOU'RE NOT OF THE BODY!!

I also had to check Amazon to see if this book was indeed real, and on the same page that I found for it I also found THIS:

"Shatnerquake" by Jeff Burk. The plot? Here's the blurb:

"It's Shatner VS Shatners! William Shatner? William Shatner. WILLIAM SHATNER!!! It's the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner. Featuring: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane, Rescue 911 Shatner, Singer Shatner, Shakespearean Shatner, Twilight Zone Shatner, Cartoon Kirk, Esperanto Shatner, Priceline Shatner, SNL Shatner, and - of course - William Shatner! No costumed con-goer will be spared in their wave of destruction, no redshirt will make it out alive, and not even the Klingons will be able to stand up to a deranged Captain Kirk with a lightsaber. But these Shatner-clones are about to learn a hard lesson...that the real William Shatner doesn't take crap from anybody. Not even himself. It's Shatnertastic!"

I don't know whether to be excited or afraid :))

How about both at the same time? It's the only logical answer.

[saganth.livejournal.com]

By the way, looking at your userpic always makes me to a reality check, because you seem to be a look-alike for my housemate!

[terriwells.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm normally not too happy with the way I show up in pictures; this is a rare exception. I've been told I have a "twin" in California (or one that at least goes to California conventions). I'd love to see a picture of your housemate; I've yet to see someone who resembles me that closely. (Btw, I really like your username).

[saganth.livejournal.com]

Erf, afraid I don't have a picture of her, and I'm not sure she'd want me to share one - she guards her privacy...

(And thank you. I like your shirt)

[terriwells.livejournal.com]

That's okay, and understandable. (And thanks! :-) ).

[dysprog.livejournal.com]

ARRGG! Plonk!

What was that? First the sound of me biting my lip to avoid squeeing out loud at work. Then the sound of a book landing at the top of my amazon wishlist.

[markbernstein.livejournal.com]

The question is, which side do you root for?

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

It would probably be a better movie than anything J.J. Abrams could do.

Got one more to contribute to this thread

I am *guessing* the trailer is fake, but then knowing Weird Al I also can't be *sure*....
