THE DEAD AWAKEN

-What's on your mind?
-Hm?

-What's on your mind?
-Nothing.

Something is on your mind.
Are you still feeling sick?

A little, but I'm okay. It's not that.

So what is it? Are you leaving me?

-Thomas, stop that.
-Tell me what's on your mind!

sh*t.

-What was that?
-I have no idea.

I think you maybe ran over something.

Goddammit, Rebecca.

Cut! We need to adjust for one more.

-It felt a bit off.
-Yes, it was a bit much.

-I'm going to adjust Arthur.
-I've got vomit on my jeans.

-What do you mean?
-Do we need to change anything?

No, I mean, the dialogue is meant
to be a bit faster.

-A bit more ping-pong, Tarantino.
-I'll try and do that.

-Great.
-Iben, may I light up your face?

-Do you want us to overlap more?
-Preferably not, Julie.

Can I make a suggestion
regarding the lighting?

I need more light from the right
for my cheekbones to have a function.

Someone will be disappointed
if they don't.

-Who?
-Me.

-And a bit more subdued.
-I'm always subdued.

-In your acting style.
-I'm always subdued.

-Could I have a rag, please?
-Could we get a rag for Iben?

-Do we have a rag?
-Yes, of course.

Do you want a coffee? And coffee!

-The light on the monitor is too much.
-You can't trust it.

-It looks like it has been lit.
-It has been lit.

-You're not listening. It looks tacky.
-Yes, but Yeoman's vision is...

All his movies may look tacky.

-That's not one of our references.
-But there are different preferences.

-You're not listening to me.
-It's hard when you use that tone.

-Because you contradict me.
-I give you resistance.

That's what a camera man
is supposed to do.

-Are the jeans visible in...?
-No, we can't see them.

You're a superstar, Iben. You can do it.

-Felix, can we talk outside?
-Sure.

-Iben, I'm coming in.
-Yes, this is a bit uncomfortable.

-Are you smoking real ones? Not herbs?
-No, they taste horrible.

What's going on with you and Iben?

-What do you mean?
-You seem very in sync.

We work well together. Isn't that good?

Not when it's against my vision.
You're ganging up on me.

It ruins it for me.
I lose all authority as a director.

I'm sorry,
but Iben has been in many movies.

She has worked with Jan Vardøen.

She knows what she wants,
and I just want to help her perform.

When I'm criticized in front of the crew,
it's easy for me to become a bit...

Trust that I know what I'm doing.
I'm good at this. We both are.

What's going on out there? Hello!

-The camera is rolling.
-Are you kidding me?

Some students went to an old motel
to make a zombie movie

This movie was put together
with the recordings left behind

My vision as the director of the movie-

-is to try and make a genre movie
with a deeper message.

That's why I've spent so much time
on developing the characters.

They are the heart of the movie.

It is my job to guide them-

-in the space behind
the open landscape that this movie is.

I think that will resonate
in the reflection of the audience's lives.

But at the same time
it is of course teamwork.

And that's very important to me,
especially the process.

I think I see the process as a sandcastle-

-that we are building together as a team.

When that sandcastle is taken by a wave,-

-it has dissolved in many ways.

However, the memories of how perfect
and complex this sandcastle was,-

-that's something we...

...we all can look back on.

Yes.

Is it just me, or is the whole concept
of zombies f*cking strange?

-What do you mean?
-The fact that...

...they are dead humans
eating living humans.

What's that? In the mountain side?

-What was it?
-It looks like a rockslide.

-Are you not listening?
-Yes, zombies eating humans is disgusting.

They could eat anything; pizza, burger,
and they choose living humans.

-It's like vampires.
-They drink blood.

With vampires you think of a guy
in a castle, in a suit, drinking blood.

-Zombies are hillbilly.
-They're your cousin on the dole...

...who's high
and never get invited to birthdays.

Hey, girl!

-So, we're on location.
-This is for the behind-the-scenes.

That's good because Julie wants footage
of the campervan on the beach.

-In this weather?
-Yes, we need montage footage.

We want to do it before we leave.

-Do you need the actors?
-Do we need Iben and Arthur?

Yes, they're in the movie,
so we need them.

-Do I need to use boiling water?
-A sourdough is a living organism.

If you boil it, it will die.
Think body temperature.

See it as a nice, warm bath.

-When are you actually back?
-I will be back on Monday.

-This Monday?
-Yes, I'm the first to die.

People from Stavanger always die first.

-You really want to film in this weather?
-Yes.

The unease and drama here
are perfect as a foreshadowing-

-for what happens later in the movie.

-I was thinking of the equipment.
-I think we should get started now.

-Here?
-Yes, there. Great.

I need to check your mic.
It's so f*cking windy here.

-You okay?
-There, that's good.

There. You look very good.

-Am I in the frame, Felix?
-No, you're good.

-Are we rolling?
-We're rolling.

Hi, it's me,
Iben M. Akerlie, movie actress,-

-award-winning children's book author,
sometime model and hobby cook.

But most of all I'm a climate champion.

Behind me the ocean is rising,
but nobody is doing anything.

The ice caps are melting,
but nobody is doing anything.

What the f*ck is this doing here?

Wake up! It's happening now.
Use your head, you only have one earth.

-And cut!
-Throwing it like that is too much.

Russian authorities are investigating
a large meteorite storm-

-hitting several places
in the northern hemisphere.

-Is it that unusual?
-What?

We are surrounded by meteorites and dust.
They could easily rain down.

-It's not usual that they hit the earth.
-Because of the asthenosphere?

-Julia?
-Julie.

Can I ask you something about the script?
Could you turn it down, please?

In scene two Rebecca says:
"I love you so f*cking much."

-"You're the best thing in my life."
-You can't cut that line.

No, but can we cut "f*cking"?

It's typically Stavanger slang.
Isn't Rebecca from Bodø?

Yes, but you need to stick
to the character bible.

Rebecca was born and raised
in an orphanage.

She has fought her way up.
That's the basis for the whole story.

I agree, and because she grew up
in an orphanage,-

-it's strange that she,
right after her boyfriend dies, has sex-

-with two zombies
who take her from behind.

The idea is that Rebecca is
a strong, feministic character-

-who's faced a lot of adversity,
but becomes stronger in the end.

-Exactly. Are you a feminist, Iben?
-Yes, I am.

I'm for everyone's rights.
That's the beauty of this project.

That's why I'm here 200 %,
but I would still like an alternative.

What if Thomas comes back, and he's
one of the zombies in the threesome?

-Then it would be more natural.
-We'll talk more when we get there.

Or we're finished talking now.

What the...? What's going on?

-Let him pass you.
-But there's no space.

sh*t!

Hello? We're in the mountain near...

The craziest thing just happened.
This car came passing by.

Something hit the car, it flipped twice.
Look, it's burning!

Felix, get in here. This is Felix.

-Tell us what happened.
-It came fast, we don't know how they are.

We don't know how many they are,
or if they are injured.

-Hopefully they're not dead.
-Help us share the video.

Iben? Did you find out
what happened to the girl in the car?

She was declared dead at the hospital.

-Sad.
-Mm.

-Want to try some?
-Sure.

-I live with Leon in a boys' commune.
-That's good.

Felix, could you pass me my card?
I'm paying for gas and stuff.

I'm sorry, Iben.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

-Do you guys want anything?
-I don't need anything.

Sure? Okay.

Tell me how much it is,
and I'll transfer the money.

-We need to talk about the script.
-Just you and me?

Only you understand that I can't have
a threesome with zombies.

-I can't get involved in that.
-Why not?

Julie wrote the script. It's her baby.

-It's kind of your baby too.
-No, the esthetic expression is my baby.

Here we are colleagues, not a couple.
So I can't go against the director.

So you're kind of single at work?

-You're a f*cking savage.
-Calm down. It was just a nice talk.

-You were f*cking her with your eyes.
-No, she would have noticed that.

Your girlfriend is here.
You can't do that. I have you on tape.

I saw the...

-The legend.
-Yes, I've worked with him before.

Have you seen his video on YouTube?
I've got it under favorites.

-Hi. Is it Dennis?
-Look at this.

It's so f*cking cool
that you're a part of this.

I said yes straight away
when I heard that you were in it.

Dennis Storhøi. I'm Leon.
I'm probably your biggest fan.

"Luck often enough will save a man
if his courage holds."

What's that?

-It's Buliwyf from "The 13th Warrior".
-You and Banderas.

-Let's get going.
-You're going to save our project.

Dennis, good to see you again.
I was an intern on "The River".

-Where do you want me?
-You can sit in the back with the others.

Of course. Where do I put this?

You can put it on your lap.
We're nearly there.

-I see.
-You've got mustard on your nose.

-Mustard?
-Yes, mustard.

-Is the plan that we all sleep there?
-Yes.

Walk around to the other side, Dennis.

-Holy sh*t...
-What the f*ck is this?

-Felix! You're getting this, right?
-Leon!

The dancing is not part of the movie,
is it? I didn't read that.

In the script? No, it's for social media.

-Social media?
-To give the movie some hype.

-Hype? Oh, that's good.
-You have to be a part of it.

No, a meteor is in space.
A meteorite is what lands on earth.

Who wants to come and have a look?

-Anyone?
-I can come and have a look.

-We have a lot to prepare for tomorrow.
-It won't take long.

-We have to get up very early.
-Come on, Julie.

-How about a card game?
-I'm taking painkillers and going to bed.

-We should do that too.
-Dennis, cards?

-No, I need to prepare some lines.
-How about a meteorite?

-I've spoken to the police.
-What did they say?

Not much,
but they told us to stay inside.

They will check it out tomorrow.

-Then it's all sorted.
-Yes.

-Cards?
-It's important to respect the police.

-Good night, Arthur.
-Good luck with your reading.

-Want to know a fact about meteorites?
-Tell me.

The only time a meteorite
has k*lled someone,-

-was in 1911 in Egypt when a dog died.

-How do you know this?
-I read books.

-You never read books.
-Of course I do.

I have never seen you read.
You didn't even buy textbooks.

-You haven't seen me jerk off either.
-Yes, I have.

Yeah, actually you have.

-Do you think the others will be angry?
-I don't think they'll care.

Do you know where we're going?

I'm pretty sure it landed over there.
Let's go and have a look.

-What do you think?
-Sounds good.

-Oh, sh*t.
-It's really wet.

-Look. To the left.
-Oh, f*ck.

The smoke is coming from there.
It's not fog, but smoke.

Can you smell it? It stinks. Smell it.

-Do we have to go so close?
-Look at this!

-I can get it pretty good from here.
-Holy f*cking sh*t.

-Are we sure about this?
-Look at this crater.

It's a meteorite, bro.

It's smoother than I imagined.
Aren't they usually gnarlier?

Gnarly? No, they come in all shapes.
They are smooth, sharp, round.

-What about that pattern?
-Which one?

-What are you doing?
-I'm checking it out.

-Are you going down there?
-For the Instagram.

No, Leon. Don't touch...

-Did you burn yourself?
-No, I got a f*cking shock.

-It's probably the magnetism.
-Magnetism?

Yes, from the atmosphere.
They come down at a hellish speed.

-There's friction and fission.
-Okay, you need to read more books.

I've just finished Dostoevsky,
and now I'm reading "Lolita" by Nabokov.

There's a hole there. In the meteorite.

-Get down here.
-Okay. Can you see inside it?

-Get down, then.
-I'm coming.

This is nasty, bro.

It smells bad too.

-Are you going inside it?
-There's an opening.

Yes, but still...

-Is it warm?
-Yes, nice and warm.

-Nice and warm?
-Like putting your hand in a cow's a*s.

How do you know that?

I've got family in the countryside,
and I'm a curious guy.

-There's something strange in there.
-Are you...

Oh, come on! Leon!

-Hi, this is your guy, Leon.
-And Felix.

We are in Norway,
and the craziest thing happened.

-We got lucky.
-An hour ago a meteorite landed there.

Look at the impact crater.
Probably around ten meters.

Probably the biggest meteorite
that has ever landed on earth.

-If you touch it, you get burned.
-Don't do that, then.

-If you saw that meteorite coming down...
-...like the video and subscribe.

-And remember...
-...stay curious.

-How does it feel? Is it cold?
-If it's cold?

Not as cold as I thought it would be.

You f*cking...

Come here.
I'm going to mess up your camera.

Leon?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

f*ck you!

-Leon!
-Screamed like a...

sh*t!

f*ck! It's so f*cking f*cked! f*ck!

Cut!

-What do you think?
-It's a bit much.

-Okay, I guess I went too far.
-We'll do it again.

I will take it down a notch.

Twelve, second.

sh*t! What the f*ck do I do now?

f*ck! Goddammit! f*ck!

Okay. Cut.

Twelve, third.

What the f*ck, f*cking sh*t,
what the f*ck do I do now? sh*t.

-Cut. Very good.
-What do you think?

-It's a bit too much swearing.
-Okay, a bit too...

What if I try one that's more articulate?

-Yes. Let's do that.
-Okay.

Ok. Let's do it again.

Twelve, fourth.

No! I've had my license for ten years
and never even hit a mailbox.

-And now this happens...
-Cut!

-What's wrong now?
-What's going on?

-I suck! It's obvious.
-No, you don't. This is really good.

-Do you think so?
-Yes, really.

Goddammit! f*ck!
f*cking sh*t! f*cking hell!

Cut! I think it's the fact that he is
overwhelmed by the situation.

He's never experienced this before,
so it's coming from a new place.

I think it's more like...

-Twelve, seventh.
-Give me two seconds.

-Action! Take it down 5 %.
-Okay, but...

-Action!
-Twelve, eleventh.

-Action!
-Oh my God...

Cut! Hey...

-That was so good!
-Did we get it?

-Yes!
-Yes!

Thomas is a character
I can see myself in.

He left the church as a teenager,
is from Karmøy, dreamed of rock and roll,-

-but it didn't turn out as he planned.

Instead he met Rebecca,
who's in the movie,-

-at a Tom Petty concert in Düsseldorf.

So, what can I say?

I got interested in acting
when I was quite young-

-and watched "Back To The Future" on VHS,
a Moviebox, for those who remember.

Action!

You ran over a dog.

Oh my God.

-Is it just a dog?
-It's dead, Thomas.

-Are you sure it's not a wolf?
-No, it's a brown dog.

Well... That's not good.

Maybe I should walk to that house
and see if it's theirs?

-Is that a good idea?
-We can't just leave.

Maybe you should walk to that house
and see if it's theirs?

And then I can stay here
and watch the car?

Okay.

Okay, it was just a dog.

MOTHER MONSEN'S MOTEL

Hello?

Hello?

Excuse me?

I think we may have run over your dog.

f*ck!

sh*t!

Hello?

Rebecca!

I want to live!

Rebecca!

Thomas!

Rebecca, are you here?

-Thomas!
-Rebecca!

I can't open the door.

-Let me out!
-Wait there, I'll be back.

No, Thomas. No...

-sh*t!
-No!

No! No, no.

You're not checking out
before breakfast, are you?

Cut! We'll cut there.

Good job.

That line is a bit weird.
Can we try without?

-It's meant as a punchline.
-It's better to keep quiet.

-Seeing these guys is enough.
-Hold this.

Kubrick trusted the expression.
"Film should be like music."

"Progression of moods and feelings."

-But they're out of focus.
-What do you mean?

-The extras.
-They're supposed to be.

That's what I'm saying.

-Can you hit that green mark?
-Didn't I hit it?

-You were a bit off to the right.
-Oh, I see.

-Are you checking out...
-Sorry. I can't take you seriously.

-It's not you, Dennis.
-What do you think?

-I look like my mother.
-We should take it even further.

-Wouldn't that make it more silly?
-Imagine a crossdresser in the 50's.

Mother Monsen has suppressed her feelings
all her life. So she dresses like this.

But the children's author is laughing.
Will this be clear?

Yes, don't let vanity
get in the way of art.

Am I vain?



Set!

Action!

-You're not checking...
-Julie, I have to cut.

-What is it?
-Do you see that X?

Yes, yes.

What about Dennis' makeup?
Is that something...?

-Ugly?
-Arthur's makeup is a bit much.

Something about the eyelashes is
a bit too much.

-That's not all that is too much.
-Listen, guys!

This is my movie, my vision.
I'm the director, and I'm in charge.

If we compromise on my vision,
there will be no movie.

Then we might as well go home.
Think about the great job you're doing.

And let's to one more take.
This will be great.

You're great, Dennis.

Sorry, the focus is stuck.

-You can feel that one.
-You looked at the mark.

You're not checking out
before breakfast, are you?

You're not checking out
before breakfast, are you?

You're not checking out
before breakfast, are you?

You're not checking out
before breakfast, are you?

Okay, can you give me some space?

Like that. Okay?

-It will be at least one more.
-54, seventh.

You're not checking out...

You're not checking out
before breakfast, are you?

Cut! We'll do one more,
just a bit better than this one.

You've got it. Okay?

I have prepared all summer,
completely pro bono.

Completely pro bono,
because I never do anything halfway.

I've been walking around at my cabin
playing a zombie at night.

Then I come here,
and it's completely unprofessional.

I could have done some reality crap,
but I'm here for the art.

-Julie, could...
-Like Al Pacino always says:

"The actor is always balancing
on a tightrope."

"The function of the director
is as a safety net."

When an actor falls,
the director has to catch him.

I'm falling from ten stories,
but nobody is catching me.

-I think you're being rude now.
-I'm just being honest.

-You know this is a student production.
-Yes, that is very clear.

-And we're doing our best.
-Sometimes that's not enough.

-So what do you think we should do?
-I should take this up with my agent.

-Okay, why?
-I can't work like this.

-He played the agent card.
-Speak to her.

-The signal is so poor up here.
-We don't have to talk.

I guess not, but isn't it nice?
I miss you like crazy.

It's nice to hear mother's voice
after a long day at work.

-Do you miss me too?
-Yes.

-You know I'm working with Dennis Storhøi.
-Who's he again?

-The hot one from "Kamilla and the Thief".
-Morten Harket?

Anyway, on set today
he completely lost it with the director.

It was crazy, Christian Bale style.
sh*t, I should have filmed it.

-He lost it. The director started crying.
-Crying? Really?

Now they are speaking to Dennis' agent.
He might pull out of the whole thing.

The perforations have to be in place.
You can adjust it with these buttons.

On a scale from one to ten,
how pretty do you think I am?

Through the lens in a way.

I would have said an eight.

Or a nine if I do the lighting.

What do you think I am?

Well, you look like a six,
but you behave like a nine.

So perhaps seven and a half.

Leon, do you always have to film?
This isn't behind-the-scenes.

You should go outside to Julie.

-Me?
-No. Felix.

-Why should I do that?
-Are you stupid?

I just need to finish this.

Maria, how did it go?

I spoke to Dennis' agent,
and I offered them a bigger fee.

-Can we afford that?
-Not really.

Should we do some crowdfunding, then?

-What's happened to your arm?
-This one?

-sh*t. It's just a bit ashy.
-It looks nasty. Do you need aloe vera?

Aloe vera is for b*tches. I'm fine.
You look like you need a hug.

-No, you look like you need one.
-Maybe we both need a hug?

If you turn off the camera,
I'll give you a hug.

-Are you okay, Julie?
-Yes.

I'm sorry if it seems like I've been
a bit negative on this production.

I want you to know that I think this is
fantastic. I'm proud to be here.

It's just because...

It hit me earlier today,
I've finally understood who Rebecca is.

That she's a person who's a bit weak.

She faces adversity, it gets hard,
but she gets through it every time.

So, if you're not 110 % true to yourself,
you become a zombie.

I think that is a beautiful message.

I just want you to know that.

-So, are we sh**ting tomorrow, or what?
-Doesn't look like it.

That's too bad, isn't it, Felix?

-What do you mean?
-You could at least pretend to care.

Are you kidding me?

Who gets up at five to do the lights?

Who's sitting here now, loading film?

If you just opened your eyes, you'd see
that we're all working our asses off-

-so we don't compromise
with your vision.

-On.
-Compromise on your vision.

-So don't give me that.
-Don't get so agitated.

I'm just trying to be clear.

It doesn't seem like you care,
is what I meant.

It doesn't seem like anyone here cares
about anyone but themselves.

I have an actor who only now
is starting to talk about her character,-

-when we're about to wrap the whole sh**t.

All this started with a vision,
now I'm not so sure.

-f*ck this.
-Julie?

Julie, we believe in the project.

Hello, my friend. Buenas noches.

Happy birthday, Mr. Banderas.
I'm in Norway sh**ting a movie.

Yes, it's been paro meros.
Long time. Long timos.

We had six months together.
Yes, that's a long time.

You saved my life, f*ck.
I miss you, little brother.

It's been a long time since we rolled
along beside each other in...

What was the name? Campbell River, yes.
It was a blast to do "The 13th Warrior".

Sword fighting and the bootcamp we had.
It was really fun. Melanie...

Stella and Don and every...

It's been...

Yeah...

I get a little emotional when I talk
to you, because I miss the old days.

I miss the things we had.

Call me one day, Antonio,
and we can talk about it.

The script was a bit odd,
a bit different, right?

It makes you think when you read it.
Zombies... Okay, what are they?

Are they a metaphor for something else?

You fear the zombies,
that they will come and eat our brains.

The same way we fear refugees,
that they will come and take over.

It's unfounded, of course,
but it could be a parallel.

-Are you happy with the sh**ting?
-Yes.

Dennis?

You look a bit tired.
Are you getting enough sleep?

I just have a headache,
but I'm sure It'll pass soon.

-Is everything okay with you and Felix?
-Yes, why?

-You were unsure if it would be good...
-No, that's fine.

-...working closely together. Is it?
-We'll discuss it later.

Okay, sure. Bye, sweetheart.

-Get enough sleep. That's important.
-Good night, mum.

Bye.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-What's happening?
-Dennis is still with us.

I think it's important that you put this
behind you and look ahead-

-and don't get distracted
by all this noise.

We need you in the front,
on the barricades,-

-like Joan of Arc, if you get me.

That sounds like a line
I could have written.

No...

You should know that I'm your biggest fan.

And I'm here for you, and I cheer you on.

Everything will be fine.

"Stay curious, stay interested", people.

"It's better to stay interested"-

-"than trying to become interesting."

Goddammit, Dennis.
You're like a fountainhead of quotes.

-That's brilliant.
-Jane Fonda, my God.

-Wow, Dennis.
-Have some vegetable soup.

Who the f*ck is a vegetarian?

Just kidding.

I'd love some.

Dennis Storhøi. I play a zombie
in a student movie called...

"The Dead Awaken".

"The Dead Awaken".
Awaken, the dead awaken...

Right? Something like that?

Anything else you'd like to add?

-Not really.
-Okay, great.

We've got it.

No, it was nothing.

-I can't go on, Rebecca.
-Come on, Thomas.

Thomas!

We have to go. Come.

-I can't go on. I'm toast.
-Yes, you can.

You have to run.

No...

They're coming, Thomas.

-Then run.
-Please, don't give up.

You can't stay here.
They will eat you alive.

For once, just do what I say.

Not because it's right,
but because you love me.

Think of our unborn child.

I love you, Thomas.

Die, m*therf*ckers!

Cut!

Yes!

f*ck, I'm good. That was great.

Guys, I just want to thank you
for an inspiring time.

It feels good finally being done,-

-even though it's also sad in many ways,
but life has to go on.

It has to go on.

We all have exiting things coming up,-

-but we will always look back
on this time-

-with... Yes! ...a special feeling.

Finally I'd like to quote
sir Winston Churchill...

...as a farewell to you.

"If you're going through hell,
just keep on going."

-Yes. Cheers!
-Great, Dennis.

Would you like to say something, Julie?

No. I think Dennis made the right point.

Great. "If you're going through hell,
hell goes..."

-"Just keep on..."
-"Just keep on going."

Great.

It's not always about saying something,-

-but about not saying something
and when not to say it.

Very good, Felix.

I need to do a self-tape
before I go to bed.

I bid you good night. Enjoy your evening.

-Will do.
-Good night.

-I think I'll go to bed too.
-Do what you have to do, Iben.

-Good night, Iben.
-Good night, sweet...

-You're a brilliant actor.
-Best production ever!

Hello there. My name is Dennis Storhøi.

I'm a Norwegian actor from Fredrikstad.

I've acted in many films, TV series
and stage productions in the early 80's.

I'm very happy to get the opportunity-

-to audition for the role
of sergeant Bjørn Hansson-

-in the upcoming Netflix series
"Guts And Glory"-

-directed by the one and only Spike Lee.

I hope you enjoy my interpretation,-

-which obviously is done
without any direction at this moment.

Getting the chance
to collaborate with you guys-

-would be an absolute dream
come true for me.

So, okay...

Here we go.

-What was that?
-What?

Why couldn't you say something
and thank people for their effort?

I don't need to get you to tell me
what I should say and do.

-No, but I can say what I think.
-So what do you think?

Everyone has worked really hard
and deserves a thanks from the director.

Then we agree to disagree.

-I'm off to bed.
-Are you okay?

I'm completely f*cked up.

-Is it your arm?
-That too. It burns like hell.

How does it look? Ouch.
It's got worse, it seems.

-I feel f*cked.
-I need to get you to bed too.

-Are we sharing a bed?
-No, I don't think so.

-What if I've got superpowers?
-Yes, what if.

-I'll take you to the doctor's tomorrow.
-You are an angel.

What I feel right now?

I don't know.

I'm kind of numb to it.

I'd like to be honest.

I just don't really feel too much.

I pray for his family,-

-his beautiful girlfriend back home.

I pray for his soul.

I try not to think about it.

Because when I think about it,
I get like this, and you know...

...I shouldn't get emotional.

So...

...I try to hide it.
I try not to think about it.

Because when I think about it,
I get like this.

You know, I've got to stay like...100 %.

I've got to set a good example...

...for the other soldiers.

My boys.

I'm sorry.

Okay, I...hope you enjoyed my performance.

Please feel free to contact
me or my agent at any time-

-if you want me to do another self-tape,
or come to L.A.-

-for an audition,
to meet Spike or whatever.

I miss you like crazy, Alex.
I think about you all the time.

Not when we are sh**ting, of course,
because then I'm in character.

-Try to think about something else.
-That's not easy when you are so fine.

-You're so special.
-Thanks, you too.

-How is the sourdough doing?
-The sourdough? I don't know.

-What do you mean?
-I guess it's rising in the kitchen.

Okay. Are you at your parent's?

No, I'm actually at Olec's.

-At Olec's, okay.
-Hey, man.

Hey, man. So the two of you
are hanging out. How nice.

All she ever wanted
Was a hot body

Crumpled sheets
Some carefree minutes to...

-Felix, can you stop it?
-What's wrong?

-I'm too tired.
-Come on.

We're up in the mountains sh**ting
a zombie movie. I think it'll be cool.

-It's a student production, right?
-Yes, it is.

But it's proper stuff.
They've got Dennis Storhøi,-

-I'm in it, and Iben Akerlie is in it,
Jakob's ex.

-I think it will be good stuff.
-I'm sure. I trust you.

When I get back,
do you want to grab a beer or something?

Well, no...

I'll only be a second.

-So, you and Olec are hanging out.
-Me and Olec are hanging out.

All she ever wanted
Was some peace and quiet

I think you should sleep somewhere else.

-Because I want to cuddle my girlfriend?
-It's not that.

-What is it, then?
-Us.

What do you mean, "us"?

-Can you turn off the camera?
-No, I want to show how foolish you are.

-Can you turn off the f*cking camera?
-Tell me what's going on.

I guess you have to do something
when father is on a business trip.

I think we need to talk.

When I get home,
we should do something nice together,-

-just you and me,
have some quality time together.

-I think we should talk now.
-It's not that long until I'm home again.

It's a bit too long.
It's better that we talk now.

No, we'll do it when I get back.
It'll be two days or something.

It's over, Arthur.

The line is cracking up.
Hold the line, please.

I need to move a bit.

I've had a really shitty week.

The only thing you care about
is flirting with that wh*re, Iben.

-That's bullshit.
-I've seen the recordings on the camera...

...you use for the behind-the-scenes.

I have a confession, Alex.
I was going to wait until I got back,-

-but you know me,
I'm not good at stuff like that.

-I have bought us a holiday.
-A holiday?

-One week in Lanzarote, you and me.
-Are you kidding me?

You should pack your things,
and we'll see each other on set tomorrow.

-Julie, hey...
-Just go.

-Didn't you hear me?
-No.

Wrap it up. It's about to start.

-Arthur...
-Alex?

Oh my God... Dennis?
sh*t, are you in character, or what?

Let me finish up,
and then we can be in character together.

Just give me two minutes.

Oh God.

Oh my God, Iben.

-Are you recording?
-Yes.

Good, good.

-What happened?
-Power cut.

-Keep going.
-I need to charge the batteries.

I need to fix the power,
or the batteries won't charge.

-No, keep going. You can't just leave now.
-I'll be right back.

-Do you know who I am?
-I'll be back. I'm going.

-What am I supposed to do?
-It'll be fine.

-I'm back in five minutes.
-No, there's no point.

Yes. I'll be back in five minutes.

-No, I feel ugly.
-No, you're pretty. Prettier than Julie.

-Much prettier than Julie.
-I am?

f*ck.

Hello?

Leon, what the f*ck are you doing?

Leon. What the f*ck?

-You look...
-Get the light away.

What are you doing?
You look stoned. Are you okay?

I'm fine. I've slept and I feel better.

-Why is there a camera on your head?
-Don't worry about that.

The power is out. Was it you?
Did you cut the power?

-No, I didn't cut the power.
-Do you know where the fuse box is?

Probably in the basement.

Hi, girls. It's me.
Just wanted to send a little Snap-

-and say hello from the toilet
in the middle of nowhere-

-where I'm sh**ting a school production
that's crap and I'm so fed up of.

I hope you're all good. The power is out.
I've got 2 % left on my phone.

So it might be my last Snap for a while.

I just wanted to say that I miss...

It's occupied.

I hope you all back home in the capital
are sleeping well...

Are you stupid? It's occupied.

What the f*ck?

f*ck!

What are these things?
This place is so cool.

Yes, I asked Julie about filming here,
but it wasn't-

-consistent with Iben's character,
or some sh*t.

-Do you know where the fuse box is?
-I have no idea.

-Have a look in there, I'll look in here.
-In here?

My ba*ls are hurting like hell.

Fuse box, fuse box...

Oh, sh*t.

f*ck.

What?

Dennis?

De...

Dennis?

Hello?

Dennis?

Leon?

Leon?

What the f*ck? sh*t.

Leon?

Hello?

Hello?

Leon?

Help!

Julie? You need to wake up.

The power is out.

Have you seen Felix and Leon?

They're probably sleeping.

No, I can't find them anywhere.

Have you looked downstairs?

I'll go with you.

-Hey, Maria...
-Yes?

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I want you to know
I appreciate your support.

-I didn't mean to be so mean.
-Don't worry about it.

It's okay.

Felix?

Leon?

Dennis?

Iben?

Leon?

Felix?

Felix!

Iben?

Julie! Julie, you have to come!

Come!

-Come and sit down.
-What's happening?

Come and sit down.

Did Dennis just k*ll everyone?
Why would he do that?

It doesn't make any sense. Did you see
that thing on the back of his head?

I've never seen anything like it.

Where is your phone? Find it.
We need to call the police.

Come on. f*ck, it's dead!

-What do we do?
-We're going to be fine, okay?

-What was that?
-I don't know.

-Maybe something's wrong with the car?
-Yes, maybe it's the car.

You should go and check it out.

Okay. Yes.

-I'll check.
-Okay.

What was that?

Nothing.

-Did you find anything?
-No, nothing.

Sit completely still. Don't f*cking move.

-What's going on?
-Do as I f*cking say.

-Is it the thing?
-Yes.

-In the car?
-Yes.

Oh my f*cking God! Oh my God.

-What do we do?
-We have to k*ll it.

-How?
-Use the flashlight and just hit it.

-I can't.
-You can do it. Just f*cking hit it!

I'm so sorry.

Julie? I just want you to know
that I've always liked you.

-Ever since the first day of school.
-Really?

-Why are you telling me now?
-I don't know. I just had to say it.

-Cut!
-sh*t. My throat hurts from screaming.

-I know, it's crazy.
-Did we get it?

-It looks like it.
-Let's find out.

-That was so good.
-Yeah? You're happy?

-It was just like seeing myself.
-Really? That's great.

We're going to rerig for a close-up
of Olec's dead hand.

-And I don't think...
-So Thea and I are done?

-No, we need you for interaction.
-Interaction with a dead hand?

Okay. Fine.

Can I ask you something? Do you know
what's true and what's not in this story?

I guess
the thing with the alien is not true.

I spoke to a guy
who worked with Dennis' wife.

He told me Dennis had got a brain tumor
right before sh**ting.

-And then he just snapped?
-That, or he k*lled people...

...because he wanted to be known
for more than "Kamilla and the Thief".

I guess she's added
the science fiction stuff-

-to protect his family.

-It's such a cop-out.
-Why?

If you want to tell a true story,
you can't cop out like that.

Seriously? There is no oat milk?

-I'm not sure.
-Could you check, please?

-I don't work here.
-You don't?

-I'm just here to have a look.
-We're ready for the close-up.

-Now?
-Okay.

-But I can go and get some.
-Really? Thank you.

Hi.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm okay.

-Hey, guys. It's your boy, Leon.
-And Felix.

-We're here with some new, hot content.
-We're making a zombie film.

-But what do we not like about it?
-We don't like the title.

-f*ck the title.
-The title is horseshit.

"When The Dead Awaken".
I spit on that every day.

We have some suggestions
and want to hear your opinion.

I've got a good one. It's a word play.

It's called "Dude, Where Is My Brain",
like "Dude, Where's My Car".

-Or "The Dead Of The Dead".
-"The Dead Of The Dead"?

That's f*cking stupid, bro.
What about "Zombody Help Me"?

Or what about this one?
"Felix' mum likes it up the a*s".

Or what about me going to the store
to buy some beers?

Yeah? Maybe some condoms?

-We're in the middle of filming.
-Can you get licorice?

Put some underpants on, man.
Move away. f*ck.

-Are you eating it all?
-We're trying to film here!

-Did you want anything?
-Put some underpants on!

-Do you want some pizza?
-No, no...

I just wanted to take it down
a couple of notches-

-and talk about something
that's important to me.

You might have seen I'm growing
a mustache. I'm three weeks in.

I want to raise awareness
about prostate cancer.

As a society today we're not good enough
in promoting men's health.

Okay, listen, Barack "Obummer".
You're bumming me out.

We need a new title.
f*ck your Movember thing.

-Can you transfer money to me?
-Yes, if you let me finish.

f*ck, Felix, we need to move.
Comment below if you've got a title.

-And remember what we say...
-...stay curious.

Learn to keep quiet.
