“Pow. Super Mum.”
This was a day spent in and around Crouch End Broadway in North London. I recall that getting the seemingly homeless man to seemingly eat a pigeon was not too easy. Harder still to get him to pull that moment off with a bus wiping frame. Still I think we got it.
‘Sherman’s’ florists was a nod to the best zombie performer of all time Howard Sherman who played ‘Bub’ in ‘Day Of The Dead’. It was actually shot at Broadway Fruiterers on Crouch End Broadway.
Later we did some of the bus footage with Shaun travelling to work. Again, not easy stuff on London’s ridiculously congested roads.
Finally on this day, a scene that eventually got cut. Scene 2 part 1 was a traffic jam that featured Bill Nighy’s Philip in his Jag and some choreography of cars and wind screen wipers. It ended up being surplus to requirements.
Trivia fact: We played in music on the day to choreograph the opening, but it was not I, Monster’s ‘The Blue Wrath’ that appears in the movie. On the set originally we used ‘The Micro Disneycal World Tour [The High Llamas Remix]’ by Cornelius. So imagine that.
