None of the ideas in this are sacred. All are expendable. Of course, if you throw them all out you have nothing, which defeats the point, but there are some silly ideas in that original thing that are just that - silly ideas, operating on the "wouldn't it be cool" principle. For instance, I intend to use Frenzal Rhomb for my second movie, not my first - I mean, come on, that would just be silly. I reckon I could probably get Franger Machine to be in the first one though - they are just like Frenzal Rhomb but cheaper, and I work with one of the guys in the band.....

re- the idea of a short film - no problem. Bad Taste started life as a short. Was shown to people with money, they liked it, and it became longer. Thus the world discovered that Peter Jackson was not just a cigarette. I have no problem with doing it short. I also understand and accept that I am not Peter Jackson. I think I'm more a Spielberg. (You know, Kevin Spielberg, the loser.)

When it comes to "what is the story about" I think we may diverge in our expectations. Its about Zombies. Other than that I'm open to suggestions. I'm not particularly interested in making a movie with a message - in fact I actually like the idea of making a movie with NO message, if such a thing were possible. What is Bad Taste about? Humans not liking aliens using humans as fast food. Beyond that, who cares? OK, there's a bit of "people overcoming challenges" and some irony in humans as prey not predators, but so what? Remember the bit where Derek falls over the cliff, and part of his brain falls out? How cool did that look! That is the feel I'm going for, rather than an in depth look at how humans respond under pressure. Well, unless we can put them under so much pressure that their heads explode, which will hopefully look awesome on screen!

So what is this story actually about (apart from Zombies) ? Ask me when we're done. Hopefully it will look cool.
