OK, SO WHO KNOWS SOMEBODY THAT'S RICH?

[Mockery]

no seriously, cool idea, is it gonna be in Richmond?

Aye, that's where I'd like to film it. Richmond is a pretty cheap place to live, so it'd probably be a lot cheaper to film the movie here than in some really busy place like NYC.

Place an ad in newspapers etc, giving "the chance of a lifetime" for people who want to be zombies

Nah, I don't need 50,000 zombies. I'd need a lot more money than 50k if I did. But I have considered letting random people play zombies in the film for donating cash. Sometimes people donate cash just to get their name in the credits.
