Did you know Sir Ian McKellan did a zombie film? Well, it was a short film, but soon to be a feature! That short was Matthew Butler's 18th-century zom-com E'gad, Zombies! As a full-length film, it shall be titled The Curse of the Buxom Strumpet. FYI, for those who don't speak Old English, that means curse of the big-titted slut.
McKellan is reprising his role, and joining him are Dame Judi Dench (royalty everywhere!) and Gillian Anderson. The film is about a small seaside town stricken by a zombie-like illness.
Here is the trailer for Butler's original short film, take a look:
