In an apocalyptic winter filled with zombies, Juliet is on a rampage to kill Romeo at all costs.
Alright. I'm clearly outnumbered. While I do put those themes in the script, the themes would not be shown in a Wikipedia synopsis, or at leastvery little would so to speak. Looking through it again I see it more than I feel an audience would. So instead I should write; "After being betrayed by herRead more

So instead I should write; “After being betrayed by her true love and left for dead in a jail cel in an apocalyptic winter filled with zombies, one woman goes on a war path to exact revenge against the man that betrayed her.”

The story is that Romeo and Juliet were once together and madly. The thing that separates them is what also created the zombies, an experiment led by Romeo.

It’s also in this that he betrays Juliet by killing her brother. He ends up putting her in jail and basically leaving her for dead. Not only does she want revenge for the betrayal but because she was bitten in escaping, she has little time left. I wanted to use the passion that they exert for each other and flip it, reversing the quote ‘my only love sprung from my only hate’ so to speak.

You make a point, the story, while having deep roots in the Romeo and Juliet story in its sorta flipped way, is nothing like the actual story at the very least on a superficial level, therefore maybe drawing more confusion then anything else. So I guess my question is, should I leave the names in, is it worth it to take out their names in the logline and still keep it in the script or change it altogether?

Unlike Pride and Predjudice and Zombies, which is the exactly Jane Austen story with zombies shoe horned in (as well as being aimed as mire of a comedy as far as I know), this script is more like Oh Brother Where Art Thou, a more 'modern' retelling with a twist of its own. Not an accurate comparisonRead more

Nathan Philips, thank you for clearing that up. I may tweek that first part of ‘left for dead’ to something that is more descriptive in the script but apart from that, the rewrite is good.
