Mena Suvari Talks 'Day of the Dead'

Mena Suvari, who co-stars in the upcoming zombie film Day of the Dead, told SCI FI Wire that she takes on an uncharacteristic action role as an Army corporal in the remake of George A. Romero's 1985 movie. Suvari's character is a member of a small band of survivors battling the flesh-eating walking dead in an underground military bunker.

"Day of the Dead is like [Zack Snyder's 2004] Dawn of the Dead," the actress said in an interview while promoting her latest film, Brooklyn Rules. "It's a remake. Steve Miner directed it, and he, like, created Friday the 13th. So that was awesome. That was two and a half months in Bulgaria, six-day weeks, and I did all my own stunts. It was fun."
