London
(ANI):
Late
actor
Patrick
Swayze
was
offered
a
role
of
a
zombie
in
horror
comedy
Zombieland
before
he
fell
ill.
According
to
film
writer
Rhett
Reese,
the
hunk
was
in
fact
supposed
to
lampoon
classic
scenes
from
his
own
films
Ghost
and
Dirty
Dancing.
"It
was
many
years
ago,
before
he
got
sick.
It
was
going
to
be
a
Patrick
Swayze
zombie," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
telling
ShockTillYouDrop.com.
Reese
even
narrated
what
the
script
was
to
unfold.
He
said:
“The
stars
get
attacked
by
him,
zombified
and
we
had
these
wonderful
moments,
where
they
find
a
potter's
wheel
and
there's
(character)
Columbus
on
the
wheel
and
these
other
hands
come
up
behind
him
and
it's
Patrick
Swayze,
the
zombie.
Ultimately,
they
fight
and
Patrick
bull
rushes
(character)
Tallahassee
who
grabs
him
and
lifts
him
into
the
air,
a
la
Jennifer
Grey
(in
Dirty
Dancing),
and
smashes
him
into
a
pillar."
Sylvester
Stallone,
Joe
Pesci,
Kevin
Bacon
and
Matthew
McConaughey
were
also
considered
for
the
role
apart
from
Swayze.
It
now
stars
starring
Harrelson,
Abigail
Breslin
and
Jesse
Eisenberg
and
will
hit
theatres
on
2
October.
