LOS ANGELES (AP) - So would John Leguizamo rather take the bullet to the head and be done with all this zombie fuss, or would he prefer to become one of the walking dead himself?
Depends on where he is when the zombies bite him.
Leguizamo, 40, co-stars in the zombie thriller "George Romero's Land of the Dead," which opens Friday. In director Romero's zombie lore, once bitten by a zombie, people inevitably die and come back as flesh-craving ghouls themselves. The only way to avoid that fate is a bullet to the brain.
If bitten, Leguizamo told The Associated Press, he might view his transformation into a zombie as a way to get payback on show-business people who have crossed him.
"If I was in Hollywood and I got bitten by a zombie, I would want to stay a zombie and then take down as many people as I could," said Leguizamo, who lives in upstate New York. "But if I was back with my family, I would definitely bite the bullet, because it's my loved ones, and I don't want to hurt my loved ones.
"But if I'm out here, let me be. I want to bite as many people as I can. Bite them back, so to speak."
