I am Rick Grimes' missing hand
DayZ Log: Killing Machine

I was playing for a little bit yesterday in Elektro. I was camping out in a building that overlooks the grocery store just waiting for a pack of matches to appear so I could head out into the woods. I was just about to run across the street to another building when I hear TONS of pistol shots and zombie screams up the block. 

I slowly work my way to a window that looks down an alley to the Church where I see SWARMS of zombies running into it. I wait… hear more shots and more zombies run in. I zoom my rifle towards the doorway of the church waiting for players to run out. Maybe I can take one of them out and then the other when he comes to rescue. 

Right then I see THREE players rush out with dozens of zombies on them. They are too fast to hit. I move over to the other side of my apartment and watch all three of them run into the grocery store. I wait for one of them to crouch down to pick up and item. I shoot him in the back… he drops. I pan to the right and headshot his friend before he hears it. The third runs out the back super fast. 

The first player I shot starts to get up and I take him out with a second shot. Firing three shots with my rifle attracts every zombie in a 2 block radius. So I place my gun on the floor and take out my hatchet (Silent one shot weapon)

I kill about 8 zombies until they stop coming. Right as I kill the last zombie I hear footsteps in the grocery store. It’s a bandit trying to loot the players I killed. I put my hatchet away and pick up my rifle. I aim and shoot the bandit in his leg. I hear it break from across the st. He crawls to safety but right before he can I put another shot in his back killing him. 

This of course attracts more zombies. I repeat my method of dropping my rifle, getting out my hatchet and killing zombies. Everyone now and then one gets a hit on me and I’m forced to bandage and eat all my food to get my health back. 

Right after finishing a can of beans I hear footsteps. Not zombie footsteps. I get my rifle and wait while aiming down the hallway. I had placed a free ghillie suit at the end of the hallway as bait. Players can’t resist camo outfits. So I hope one will stop to pick it up and buy me time to shoot them. 

I see the tip of a shoulder maybe as someone stops to get the ghillie suit. But it’s not enough of a target. He equips the suit and starts to walk in when he sees me and runs into a room. 

I have two choices. I can run after him and risk injury OR I can fire my rifle attracting zombies into his room and mine. So I fire 5 shots attracting another 10 zombies. I can hear him wasting all his pistol rounds into them as they pour in. I then charge the room and shoot him dead. 

Right as I’m looting the food he had, I hear someone running up the stairs. I turn and a player has a pistol drawn. He unloads the entire clip into me and I drop dead… He must have been watching the whole thing from across the road…

I don’t expect it to be great. I just hope it’s not horrible.

We shot the movie and put it together and we all felt the ending wasn’t what we wanted it to be and could be better. We showed it to the studio, the filmmakers agreed and made a proposal and we went back and did some additional shooting. We are really happy now with the result… It’s a different ending, and I prefer it. I think it’s more powerful and works in the favor of the story… It was really refreshing and a great thing that we actually redid the ending because I never did that with any of my other movies. But I realized a lot of great directors I admire, from Bergman to Felini, they always were shooting, going to the editing room, shooting again. This process back and forth. And that was a really great thing that we were able to do that and the studio allowed us to do that because it made the movie better and that gave us a different reflection of it. When you’re really in it and doing it, sometimes, it gets overwhelming. You might, for a moment, have to take a step back and see how it feels all together.
World War Z Director Marc Forster says the decision to reshoot the film’s ending was, rather than a signal of a production spiraling out of control, actually just what the project needed
