You have to make a zombie movie with a twist

Zombies are corpses that have been injected with vampiric blood, and are subservient to the vampires. They have limited vampire-like powers, like increased strength and speed, but are limited because...
1 - they are only part vampire.
2 - they are still partially decomposed.
Zombies are not brainless hunger driven monsters, but predominately introspective sentient beings who rely on their vampire overlords to bring them humans to drink from (as their decomposing state means they cannot hunt their own food).

A film that follows one zombie from their infection to what they're doing now. Perhaps an internal monologue showing that it still has thoughts?
Thinking that maybe it suffers from flashbacks to its human life but still has trouble resisting its urge to kill humans due to some kind of bloodrage.
The ending could be the zombie finally remembering its old life and encountering its old band of survivors that they were a part of and being killed by them just as they escape to safety.

I would take this a step further and say that the reason zombies try to eat people is because being a zombie feels really, really good. Zombies are in a euphoric state and that is why they try to bite people and convert them, because to them it's saving them from their miserable human existence. The only problem is, zombies cannot communicate and they don't realize that. They think they're speaking, but they're just muttering nonsense. Kind of like that reporter woman who had a stroke on air during the Grammys. People start to figure out what it's like when a vegetative woman is infected, comes back and finds that through a mental defect she is somehow able to talk to humans and zombies.Booze Zombie said:
My idea for a zombie movie would involve a near future world which is on the brink of collapse, because the entire population has been afflicted with a cancer like disease.
Medical science in the future has turned to medical nanotechnology for a cure, which certainly does work for a time by propagating itself and replacing the diseased cells in the body.
However, people are so eager for a cure they don't notice that the nanomachines wont stop propagating, and start affecting the brain. They give the brain the directive to do nothing but continue spreading themselves around (through bodily fluids and even skin contact once there are enough of them in the system).
In essence, zombies become the cure for a disease, rather than the symptom of a disease. This lets the characters in the movie face the terrible choice of die in a few months to a year with your humanity intact, or live for decades as a mindless drone.
Also, head injuries do nothing because the nanobots continue to animate the body even after the head is gone.

Nice, and the M. Night Shamalamadingdong twist at the end can be that the camera pulls away to reveal that the whole movie you just watched is a script that he is currently writing...but then a REAL zombie comes into the room...or is it real? BAM! Roll Credits, collect paycheque.Vicarious Vangaurd said:
I'd have the humans in the game replaced by plants, and turn it into a film about those plants beating the zombies in a tower-defense situation, kind of like a game, but it's a film instead! I'd call it "Plants Against Zombies"...
Okay, seriously though, I'd probably just make the zombies the good guys as well. Or I'd set it in the UK and have absolutely zero mention of the USA at all. That's fairly unique for a zombie film, the only one I know of that's UK based without any US intervention of any kind is Shaun of the Dead. 28 Days Later has the USA at the end, and Dead Set doesn't count because that was a TV miniseries, rather than a single feature-length film. Though I did love it, and Charlie Brooker is bloody awesome.
Yeah, I think that'd work. Have it set in the UK, have the population of the UK, along with the government, evacuated to France and western Europe, and have the UK government being granted permission to set up a series of refugee facilities and camps and a new power-base to maintain order in said camps along the northern French coast, and the film could be based around UK troops and missions into the restricted zone (i.e. the main British island) to search for survivors, find evidence to how the outbreak began, and other things. The main focus would be a small team of MI5 operatives who have been given special training and are sent into the restricted zone on an operation to find information on the Umbrella-esque company responsible for the outbreak, and to try and deal with that threat by finding the company heads and bringing them to justice before there are any further outbreaks that aren't as easy to contain by way of them not being on an island like Britain is...

The Protagonists are all /b/ members and mentally retarded. The Zombies lock them up in a zoo and do experiments on them. Humans become an endangered species and then a cloning experiment is being held. The /b/ members are cloned, but THEN due to heavy genetic modifying, anyone they bite becomes sarcastic and cynical, also incredibly ignorant. The clones break free by the power of sheer mental retardation and attack the Zombies out of instinct and feed on their flesh.
The second half of the film follows the /b/ members who lead the newly created Nation of teh Internetz as they fight for dominance in a Zombie controlled world.
Then here's the twist: The zombies release a virus that turns everyone into zombies and the last scene is the new generation (who lost all the past research) look up to the last remaining humans and repeat the process.
