Vegetarian Star

It’s no secret now that Woody Harrelson had strict requirements for the set of Zombieland to be eco friendly during filming, including banning plastic water bottles and using biodegradable plates and utensils.

“The first two were fairly reasonable about casting and crew. The third was that we have an environmentally conscious set,” said director Ruben Fleischer.

Woody also wanted Fleischer to go to cheese rehab.

“And the fourth was that I don’t eat dairy for a week.”

No easy feat for Fleischer, the cheeseaholic.

“For me to not eat cheese is like for an alcoholic not to drink. I had a hard time, especially since it was Memorial Day when he asked me and there were all the summer barbecues. But I ended up being a vegetarian for 11 months as a result.”

We briefly touched on the fact that Woody Harrelson turned Zombieland into a more environmentally friendly set during its shooting.

Now we’re learning more details on how Woody used his vegan eco powers to make the set a little greener.

Director Ruben Fleischer, who Woody convinced to eat veg during the filming, has revealed to WENN:

“He practices what he preaches and made us all aware. I’m far healthier since knowing him. He’s very persuasive.”

“He eats raw food and vegan items, so he had a chef making delicious things for him every day that he shared with me and the rest of the cast that was healthy and delicious.”

“One of the requirements for him doing the film was that we have a green set as much as possible. All the silverware was metal that could be washed and reused, as opposed to just thrown away.”

“If we did use plates or cups or glasses it was all biodegradable. We didn’t use plastic. Instead of having plastic water bottles, which he sees as a huge environmental threat, we had big coolers and everybody on the set got their own jug that they could refill.”

Wonder if Fleischer and the cast continued the veg and green efforts once the shooting wrapped up.

Woody Harrelson converted someone to vegetarianism, if only temporary.

During the filming of an upcoming film, Zombieland, Woody convinced director Ruben Fleischer to eat vegetarian during the duration of the shoot.

“The script is fantastic,” Jesse Einsenberg, who plays Columbus, told altpress.com. “Of course the premise is silly-there’s no way to describe it without sounding silly-but the script is great. It’s really wonderful and unique, and the characters are fantastic. Woody Harrelson is in it, and the director agreed to become a vegetarian for the duration of the shoot because Woody Harrelson is vegan.”

And let’s give it up for the environmentally friendly set.

“The set is pretty eco-friendly, actually. We recycle a lot onset, which is good, because movies are a very wasteful industry.”

Zombieland is set to the premise that after America is ravaged by a zombie plague, the few lone survivors run from the living dead, arriving at a theme park they believe to be safe.
