We've heard many stories of the crazy things method actors will do in order to stay in character, but we hadn't seen anyone take the method acting approach to playing a zombie until now. In a new video, Rob Corddry talks about his commitment to playing an authentic zombie in Warm Bodies, and we see the effect it had on the cast and crew.
Warm Bodies stars Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, Dave Franco, Analeigh Tipton, and John Malkovich. The movie was directed by Jonathan Levine and will be released to theaters on February 1st.
"After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from an attack. Julie sees that R is different, and as the two form a relationship, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off a chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world."
