Kelly and Ben

Proper casting for both Kelly and Ben eludes me at this time, but to get the spirit of things right, it would have to be something along these lines...



If you've never seen Shaun of the Dead, *you should*. It's awesome. And not only that, it's the best distillation of what the relationship between me and Dan was I've ever seen in film or on television. I can't watch the movie without thinking about this fact.



The only real difference is that faced with a zombified horde, Dan-slash-Ben would be much more ready to spring into violence than Ed is. Sure, Ed does have his moments (dig that shovel), but I'm thinking of that scene in the backyard where he's more preoccupied with his cell phone.



As far as me-slash-Kelly goes, it's pretty close.
