Lego 'Shaun of the Dead' anyone?

Lego were in need of about 5,000 supporters in order to create a Lego set for the great Simon Pegg / Edgar Wright zombie invasion comedy film, Shaun of the Dead.

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's zombie romcom, a tribute to George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead, is amusing, smart and, towards the end, genuinely tense. Shaun (Pegg), a Londoner in a dull job and a fractious relationship, finds his humdrum routine disrupted when almost everyone else in the country turns into a zombie. There's a special geeky pleasure in spotting all the film buff in-jokes.

Simon Pegg excels in this comic tribute to George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead. When London becomes overrun by flesh-eating zombies, Shaun (Pegg) finds that the only solution is to head for the pub with the few survivors. From there, they use anything that comes to hand - such as Dire Straits LPs - to fend off the undead. It may slacken a little towards the end but the humour and gore just about suffice.
