Transcript: Zombieland - Woody Harrelson Interview, Comic Con

Columbia Pictures' Zombieland at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.

Woody Harrelson - 'Tallahassee' in Zombieland

So how much fun was it to play in a movie like this where you can just go out and kill zombies?

Woody Harrelson: "It was really fun and really cathartic. You get through the end of the day, you've killed a couple hundred zombies, you feel like you've accomplished something."

There's always that debate over slow-moving zombies versus fast-moving zombies. How do you think zombies should be?

Woody Harrelson: "Well, I can only go by this movie and they really seem to be a little bit of both. Some are moving slow, but they've all got weird kinks as they walk. I don't really know who they're supposed to be, but in this one, they didn't seem to be moving too fast. It makes them easy targets."

Is he just a guy who just loves killing zombies?

Woody Harrelson: "I think part of it is a vendetta. Certain things went on, which I won't reveal right here..."

That might be a spoiler.

Woody Harrelson: "We don't want to be a spoiler. So a bit of it has to do with a vendetta. That kind of encourages fearlessness."

Do you have a favorite zombie kill from the movie?

Woody Harrelson: "The best zombie kill..."

Jesse Eisenberg pointed out one of yours.

Woody Harrelson: "What was it?"

The chainsaw.

Woody Harrelson: "I think the chainsaw."

What do you do? Tell me about the chainsaw.

Woody Harrelson: "You turn the thing on and you just search for the big arteries."

Do zombies bleed when you cut them?

Woody Harrelson: "Oh yeah. Blood is how you get infected."
