Day Of The Dead 2007

Hey i just found out that there is going to be a remake of the all-time zombie classic Day Of the Dead! if it can follow in the other "Dead Trilogy" remakes, it's gonna be very good (i know some people will say the remakes sucked, but i liked them a lot)

I know some people will say the poster is edited from the Land Of The Dead one, but i only know as much as other people post on different forums.

Sweet. Romero's original Dead Trilogy will be the first ever trilogy to be completely remade.

I actually enjoyed the remakes for what they were; NOT the originals. A lot of people can't seem to get past that, but that's because they're imbeciles.

The Night remake was a decent retelling of the original story except with superb Tom Savini effects and Barbara actually doing something other than freaking out.

The Dawn remake was COMPLETELY different save for a few plot elements sticking around and was a damn fun Zombie movie.

The original Day was the worst of Romero's trilogy, I felt. I know it's not entirely his fault (studio cut his budget severely at the last second) but the whole thing just felt pretty weak, save for some great Savini effects and a few fantastic moments. The ending really killed the thing for me.

Land already brought Romero's original vision for Day to life, so the Day remake won't really have to do that for us. Still, the concept of a deserted, zombie-infest city has plenty of plot-opportunities, I'm sure they'll figure out something.

And they're actually good remakes :)

This one will most definetly have a big budget like LOTD so expect lots and lots and lots and lots of gore! :D

I think this installment of the Dead movies is gonna say that the people holed up in the shelter are the last survivors of the plague, hopefully we may finally know what caused it! :D

Nah, I hope they never explain why the zombies are around, the explanation would come out really stupid.

"Toxic waste spilled on graveyard" BLAH.

I really wish that the Day remake was being made by the same people who did the Dawn remake.

"Toxic waste spilled on graveyard" BLAH.


You need to sit down and watch Return of the Living Dead, Mister! ;)


But yeah, one thing I liked about the original Dead trilogy was that every movie had a different explanation for the zombies.

Night: Radiation carried back from Venus.

Dawn: "No more room in Hell..."

Day: Virus.

It showed how humanity was really totally clueless about how these zombies came to be and showed just ow unprepared and f***ed we were.

[The Stryker]

Thats what I liked about the movies! the cluelessness about all of it.

I saw Return...."Brains are a escape from the PAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!"

I don't think I like how the poster is almost exact for the Land poster.
But it's cool its getting remade, but I didn't hear much about Day of the Dead: Contangium. That was released, and I saw it at a comic shop a while back.

Maybe it's a radation virus form hell called Venus :P oh wait we already had that :o

But i heard Zack Snyder (DOTD 2004) was doing Watchmen next, never heard of it but it's supposidly based on a book

[Brodie]

Uhm, Watchmen is a definitive comic book...A must read.

I didn't say anything cuz I couldnt tell if Leo Rulez was being sarcastic or not.

My favorite line from Return of the Living Dead, by the way, it "I know you're in here, Tina, because I can smell your BRAAAAAAIIIIIINSSSSS!!!"

About the virus thing yes, the comic thing no, we don't have comics where i live :(

but my fav. line in ROTLD is....."DAYAM!" :lol: just jokin' i love the whole "BBBBBRRRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNSSSSS!!!!" thing with the zombies :P

But i think they should give kind of a nod to what's made the zombie plauge but not really explain it, only tell enough to give you a vauge idea :D

[The Stryker]

but they've done that a dozen times in different movies and it just seems hokey.

You can have Undead zombies walking around...but when you add Nuclear waste, Aliens or any kind of electricity to it, it tips the wackiness scale.
