4. Plans being formed to help the family of supporting characters
If theres one thing we can take away from virus movies, its that only the lead characters families are important. We see it so many times in films with one or two stars, then an ensemble of supporting players: the plans, missions and concerns are completely skewed towards the leads immediate or even peripheral relatives. If any of the supporting casts loved ones are mentioned, its usually in the context of, Oh, well, theyre probably dead. No point looking for them. It makes you wonder whether anyone will actually team-up for real come the zombie apocalypse. Maybe well all just be hanging around in train stations, waiting for connections to find our own families on the other side of the country?
