Really, though, the hardest thing about being a zombie at Harvard is getting in
“The Harvard Zombie Massacre,” which is still in its preliminary phases, is to be produced by Hollywood veteran Warren Zide.Unfortunately for the marketing campaign, Yale University holds common-law trademark rights to the phrase "the world's smartest zombies."
Zide, who produced the “American Pie” series as well as the “Final Destination” series, has a great deal of experience with movies featuring college-aged students—as well as those featuring rather gruesome fare.
Ryan Lewis, who will serve as the movie’s executive producer, said that the project has a rather unique appeal.
“So, the world’s smartest college students have to battle the world’s smartest zombies,” he said. “Usually you get serial killers and ghost stories and stuff with college kids. There hasn’t been a college zombie movie yet. It will have that great cheekiness, some great horror moments—it’s really a great blend.”
As the title suggests, Harvard students will engage in a battle of wits with their undead counterparts. Lewis hopes to film the project right in Harvard Yard, though they have not yet sought the administration’s approval. - Harvard Crimson, June 28, 2008
