Patrick Swayze was almost a zombie in ZOMBIELAND

Sunday, September 20, 2009

The upcoming horror comedy Zombieland apparently features celebrities making cameo appearances as zombie versions of themselves. It's already been leaked that Bill Murray has a zombie cameo in the film, although it's not yet known if he plays himself or not. And apparently at one point a zombified Patrick Swayze was planned to appear in a scene parodying Ghost.

"That was many years ago, before he got sick," writer Rhett Reese told ShockTillYouDrop.com. "It was (going to be) a Patrick Swayze zombie. They got attacked by him zombified and we had these wonderful moments where they found a potter's wheel and there's Columbus on the wheel and these other hands come up behind him and it's Patrick Swayze the zombie. Ultimately, they fight and Patrick bull rushes Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) who grabs him and lifts him into the air, a la Jennifer Grey, and smashes him into a pillar."

I'll bet they're glad the scene didn't work out, because jeez would a scene like that seem creepy and wrong, now.
