"John Leguizamo: I didn't know what to expect working with George. I mean, I admired him of course; Night of the Living Dead is one of the great movies of all time; outside that it's a horror movie and it started the whole zombie genre; but it's still a great movie and I used to watch it in New York. I saw Chiller Theater, we used to have that in New York, and Creature Feature. I didn't know George was going to be, how he was going to be with real actors. I know he's got the horror thing down and he's got certain rules he has to have how a zombie's got to move slow, because they have rigor mortis; how can they move fast? He doesn't tell them how to move because he doesn't want them all to [look] like CGI armies, so he lets everybody find their inner zombie, which is pretty cool, and he's good with the acting. You know, he really let us loose, but he would also reign us in, you know, he was really watching the acting. I was really impressed with that, so I was making up s*** all over the place. Some of it stuck, some of it will be on the DVD. It will go somewhere. It's never wasted."
