Rex Features
Speaking to website ShockTillYouDrop, Reese explained that his initial script drafts with Paul Wernick featured an appearance from a zombie Swayze.
"That was many years ago, before he got sick," said Reese. "It was [going to be] a Patrick Swayze zombie."
Reese revealed that lead characters Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and Tallahasse (Woody Harrelson) were to encounter Swayze in an homage to Ghost and Dirty Dancing.
He said: "They got attacked by him zombified and we had these wonderful moments where they found a potter's wheel and there's Columbus on the wheel and these other hands come up behind him and it's Patrick Swayze the zombie.
"Ultimately, they fight and Patrick bull-rushes Tallahassee who grabs him and lifts him into the air, à la Jennifer Grey, and smashes him into a pillar."
