If Disney's "Prom" was a tribute to John Hughes, then "Detention of the Dead" is its"Shaun of Dead" zombie counterpart. Still in the midst of filming out in Michigan, "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" star Jayson Blair made time to chat with Zap2it about his role in the upcoming Zombie flick.

"At it's core it's a huge tribute to John Hughes and all those '80s films like 'The Breakfast Club,'" he tells us about the film. "The characters are really, really, really modeled after all the characters in 'The Breakfast Club,' but with Zombies in a comedy sort of fashion."

Blair, who plays bully jock Max Owens on the MTV scripted comedy, joins an all star teen-favorite cast on the Gala Films project.

Among his costars are Jacob Zachar (Rusty Cartwright, "Greek"), Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie, "The Twilight Saga"), Alexa Nikolas (Nicole Bristow, "Zoey 101"), Max Adler (Dave Karofsky, "Glee") and Christa B. Allen, who has twice played a young version of Jennifer Garner ("13 Going on 30," "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past"). Rounding out the cast are newcomers Joseph Porter, Danny Sancricca and Rebecca Wegener.
