The setting is in New York, but filmed in Glasgow.
The new Batman movie is being filmed in New York right now, so that may have been part of their reasoning to move to Glasgow.
I'm not sure on how that kind of stuff works though.
Edit --
You were right! This is from the book, "A zombie bite, although by far the most recognized is by no means the only one. Humans have been infected by brushing their open wounds against those of a zombie or by being splattered by its remains after an explosion. Ingestion of infected flesh (provided the person has no open mouth sores), however, results in PERMANENT DEATH rather then infection. Infected flesh has proven to be highly toxic."
Nice work out of you Beag.
