Zombies Reported in Garland, Headed to LA -
Categories: |
My son wants to see it. Robyn says, "No way!" I've heard little about it except the trailers I've partially seen. The newest box office hit, Zombieland, opens in ... Garland. No, literally. Not like in Garland theaters (which it has), but the opening scenes are supposed to be of Garland. The narrator, Columbus, says, "I'm in Garland, Texas. I know; it looks like it has been destroyed by zombies, but that's just Garland." I guess it's no big surprise that we would be first and center in a movie script. Plenty of celebrities have lived here. We have had movie and television crews many times. "Walker, Texas Ranger" shot scenes here often while it was in production, including off Campbell Rd across from Firewheel Golf Park, close to where the rec center for the Hills and the Retreat is now located. This time, the street scenes and the zombies won't look too familiar because they were actually shot in Georgia. I guess we weren't creepy enough but the mention is nice anyway. We've been cleaning the streets since our old zombie reputation. We don't have as many around. I still know a few. Guess it's not enough to get the camera crew here though. |
