On his rare days off, Walken says, he’s a loner who prefers to spend a Saturday afternoon by himself, relaxing with a zombie movie.

A zombie movie?

"Right now I’d definitely watch a zombie movie if I could," says Walken, grinning. "I mean, I’d absolutely love to do one, too. Zombie movies are interesting because it could be any budget. You can make it for nothing; you can spend a lot of money; it’s still a zombie movie."
