Shaun of the Dead deals with pandemic panic, as do the Brooks family (news)

Friends and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost of Spaced-fame have re-filmed that scene from the 2004 Shaun of the Dead movie where their characters make the plan to avoid the zombie apocalypse.

This time the plan is to NOT go to the pub, thereby avoiding the spread of the Coronavirus contagion.

To reinforce the message, Max Brooks – author of World War Z – has teamed up with his dad, comedy legend Mel Brooks in a similar vein.
