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.
