Why Watch? There is absolutely nothing wrong with shooting a flaming arrow at a zombie to blow it up. There’s also nothing wrong with Spencer Susser’s short film I Love Sarah Jane. Especially since there’s nothing wrong with Mia Wasikowska dropping F-bombs a lot. I mean, a lot. There are a lot of instances and colorful uses of the word Fuck here. The gore is particularly gruesome with some droolingly uneasy wounds and creeping zombie make-up as the bloody cherry on top. Thanks, Australia! What Will It Cost? Just 12 minutes of your time. Does it get better any better than that? Check out I Love Sarah Jane for yourself: I Love Sarah Jane (2008) Directed By: Spencer Susser Written By: Spencer Susser & David Michod Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Brad Ashby, Beau South, Vladimir Matovic, and Peter Yacoub Trust us. You have time for more short films.

Just last month we got a look at the first trailer for the Sundance selected, chaotic drama Hesher starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Now it looks like director Spencer Susser will return to his roots for one of his next projects. The Age (via The Playlist) reports Susser is in the midst of adapting his short film I Love Sarah Jane (watch it below) into a feature length film. Though the title implies a simple romance, the story actually follows love in the midst of a zombie-infested, post apocalyptic world. There's nothing quite like embracing and sharing a kiss while a horde of zombies claws and staggers your way wanting your love stricken hearst and brains. The film is almost four years old now, but features a now recognizable name in Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) along with relatively unknown talents like Brad Ashby, Valdimimir Matovic, Beau South and Peter Yacoub.

[1] Ever since we first [2] came across Spencer Susser's wonderful short film I Love Sarah Jane in 2008, we've been following the young Australian filmmaker's career with great interest. We featured [3] another short by Susser, A Love Story, in 2010, and Peter Sciretta gave Susser's feature film debut Hesher a positive review [4] at last year's Sundance. Now it seems that Susser will be going back where he started, and turning his I Love Sarah Jane into a feature length film. The movie takes place in a post-zombie-apocalypse universe, and centers around a 13-year-old boy named Jimbo (Brad Ashby) who is nursing a crush on the no-nonsense Sarah Jane (Mia Wasikowska before she fell down that rabbit hole [5]). Watch (or rewatch) the short film after the jump. Australia's The Age [6] (via ThePlaylist [7]) reported Susser is currently working a screenplay for the feature-length adaptation of I Love Sarah Jane. Although I find the short...

Last year right before Halloween we shared with our readers a pretty cool Aussie short film entitled "I Love Sarah Jane". What does that have to do with the Oscars? In a round-about way Natalie Portman's win for Black Swan and Jacki Weaver's nomination for Animal Kingdom could help the filmmaking collective known as Blue-Tongue Films finance a feature-length version of Spencer Susser's zombie-themed short.
As IndieWire's The Playlist blog explains it, among the gestating films from the [Blue-Tongue] team is one from [director] Spencer Susser — the man behind the upcoming Hesher starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, [Best Actress Oscar winner] Natalie Portman, and Rainn Wilson — and it will see him adapt his acclaimed post-apocalytic zombie short “I Love Sarah Jane” into a full-length feature film. No word on if the project will be Susser’s next, but with zombies all the rage at the moment, there’s probably never been a better time for him to tackle it.

While Natalie Portman is also producing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the actress-turned-producer's name could help bring a zombie short to the big screen. According to Indiewire, Spencer Susser is adapting his zombie-apocalypse short I Love Sarah Jane into a feature length film. Susser looks to gain a lot of attention with the release of Hesher, which stars both Natalie Portman and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Could this garner him enough attention to snag a budget for his zombie uprising? The short film was released back in 2007 starring a pre-fame Mia Wasikowska along with Brad Ashby, Vladmimir Matovic, Beau South and Peter Yacoub. Its a simple story of young love in a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic world. Despite the low budget and already dated SFX, the mood and tone created by Susser and the performances by leads Ashby and Wasikowska result in a cute, compelling piece of work...

In 2008, Spencer Susser unleashed love and zombies with his short film I Love Sarah Jane. A story about Jimbo (Brad Ashby), a 13-year-old in love with Sarah Jane (Mia Wasikowska). That sounds pretty normal until you realize that they live in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies. You can check out the short right here....
Susser is getting his chance to expand on the story as he gets ready to give I Love Sarah Jane the feature length treatment for Blue-Tongue Films. Not much else could be found regarding the project but one has to wonder if Wasikowska will show up in the feature after starring in the short film.
