....and SimiUndead was born.
It started out as an innocent e-mail to our various work addresses, but soon spiralled out of control and a pitch for a new film was hatched.
My girlfriend, after sending the link to this BBC news story commented that the orangutans would have to be separated from the tigers, lest the latter's killing instincts kicked.
I said that they should be encouraged to ride the tigers, so that they could have majestic mounts, which led to speculation that this is probably a similar scenario to how Planet of the Apes started out...
The theory of an impending Zombie Apocalypse was supplanted by that of an Orangutans-riding-tigers Apocalypse.
But then we thought, "Hell, why not have both?"
SimiUndead
"In a ruined city, lost to men, rank upon rank of gleaming-armoured orangutans atop their huge, rippling-muscled feline mounts await the call to charge into the moaning grey mass of the putrid, cannibal undead..."
Thanks to unclef for the blog title, film title and tag line. Dang, why does he have all the good ideas? I'm just dead weight.
Anyone interested in green lighting this script should drop us a line.
We're available to roll as of next Wednesday.
