Q: Where in Pasadena would be the best place to make a stand during a zombie apocalypse?
Hurd: I’d make a stand at City Hall. It’s a beautiful period building, with good sight lines from the tower for picking off zombies. And it’s essentially next door to the police department.
Q: Kids have organized zombie clubs at schools, the California Institute of Technology is hosting a Zombie 5k Saturday as a charitable fundraiser and there is even a zombie parody of “Pride and Prejudice.” What’s vogue about the undead?
A: Zombies are the ultimate equalizer. You don’t need special skills or superpowers to be a zombie. I’m not surprised that Caltech is having a Zombie 5K. After all, zombies are pursuing ‘braiiinnsss’ — and so is Caltech.
Q: You’ve been involved in several projects dealing with the possible collapse of society. Are you trying to tell us something?
A: I love apocalyptic stories about everyday people caught up in the midst of extraordinary events. And I’m a geek from way back, so the sci-fi settings are a plus. Given that the Doomsday or Armageddon Clock is currently set at five minutes to midnight, I’m not alone.
Q: Is there really a fifth “Terminator” film in the works? Maybe set in Sacramento this time?
A: Unfortunately, Jim Cameron and I no longer control the rights to the “Terminator” franchise. It would be nice if we could terminate the state’s budget deficit, wouldn’t it?
