...Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, Craig Robinson, Neil Patrick Harris and Allison Janney (who, in a cheeky nod to Mormons' support of the ballot initiative, is listed in the title credits as "Prop 8 Leader's #1 Wife").

The zombie element in that film is entirely serious. With Hot Fuzz, we didn't say, "Let's spoof action movies." We just wanted to make an action film.
