Michelle Morgan and Shawn Roberts star in George Romero’s latest zombie romp, Diary of the Dead. The film follows a group of film students whose efforts to produce a zombie movie are thwarted by an actual undead apocalypse. They quickly turn the cameras on themselves, documenting their struggles to survive, uploading their videos to the internet whenever possible. As with many Romero films, the campy delights of exploding zombie heads are lovingly blended with social commentary, this time about the ineptitude of mainstream media compared to “bloggers and hackers” self-publishing their experiences. In this interview stars Michelle Morgan and Shawn Roberts talk about the mood on set, not knowing if their characters will undergo zombification, and their favorite zombie flicks.
