Shaun of the Dead and COVID 19


'Shaun of the Dead' actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost turn one of the movie's most memorable scenes into a public service announcement regarding COVID-19.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost recreated one of their scenes from the 2004 horror comedy film Shaun of the Dead and turned it into a public service announcement for COVID-19.

In the original scene, their characters Shaun and Ed are seen discussing their plan of rescuing their loved ones as London is overrun by zombies. The two are also seen blatantly ignoring a newscast where people were encouraged to stay at home and keep their distance from others.

In the updated version, Simon and Nick reprise their characters Shaun and Ed. Over a phone call, Shaun reminds Ed to stay at home and follow guidelines from healthcare providers.

Shaun of the Dead was directed by Edgar Wright as part of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy.
