Land of the dead trailer now up!

~~Turtledude2k3~~ · 05-07-2005, 01:49 PM

Last night, I found a link on ignmovies to go to the site to watch the trailer for the new Land of the dead..

It the 4th film in the dead series.. Night of the living dead, dawn of the dead and day of the dead were the otehr 3 made by legendary George Romero.

This movie looks great but will the gore that was in the other 3 still be in there? Since it's universal that is going to release this movie, who knows...

I don't think Romero would have it any other way.

A link! My kingdom for a link! http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/landofthedead/

I hope we get to see Dennis Hopper go apesh*t on a horde of zombies.

I'm looking forward to it. Day of the Dead was such a let-down, certainly not the way I wanted his franchise to end. I know the studio cut his budget in half at the last minute, thus resulting in the half-assery we ended up with.

The plot for Land involves zombies that can think and cooperate. I hope it isn't anything like Bud from Day. Again, another part of that film I didn't like.

I'm willing to give Romero the benefit of the doubt, though. Night and Dawn are awesome flicks, and the original script for Day was pretty epic. Oh yeah, and Creepshow is one of my favorite horror movies.

So yeah, this has some real potential. John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper? All we need is to throw Bob Hoskins in there and we'll have a real Super Mario Bros reunion.

By watching the trailer, it was pretty good. I heard there's a vehicle called Dead something.. It was shown in the trailer. BTW, why was Dennis Hopper in a car in one scene and another in a building? I think he may be the leader of the minority government..
I do hope the movie ends in a happy note.. All zombies die the humans win! Ha most likly it might be the other way around..

Romero isn't a big fan of "happy endings", it would seem. The end of Night is extraordinarily depressing (but awesome because of it), the original end of Dawn was very much the same and the actual ending didn't leave much hope, and the end to Day was typical Hollywood tripe.

One of the main themes that has run through all three of Romero's Dead films is that no matter the circumstance or the conflict, human beings absolutely CANNOT work together to save themselves.

In Night Dwayne Jones (can't remember his character's name) and Cooper spent the entire film arguing and eventually ended with them shooting at each other and the entire house finally getting broken into. And even more depressing, Cooper was the one who was right all along.

In Dawn the group creates their own paradise at the mall only to have it destroyed by the biker gang at the. Partly due to the greed of the group (the wouldn't respond to the biker gang and simple give them the valuables that were essentially worthless) and partly due to the ruthlessnes of the biker gang.

In Day the soldiers and the scientists don't even try to get along. The scientists hate the soldiers because they're barbaric meatheads, and the soldiers hate the scientists because their experiment keep resulting in the deaths of their men AND they're making no progress (Frankenstein was just screwing around the whole time rather than researching a cure).

I imagine Land will continue that trend, with the rich cealing themselves off from the zombies, leaving the poor to fend for themselves.

Zombie Movies with Happy endings Piss me off. For Zombies to just take over the world, Essentially and then some Magical cure comes and reaches every last Creature and turns them human again, It don't make sense. and it's kinda "Whaaaaaaa?"

So i really Hope Land ends with zombies finally Overtaking the entire world and the new society eating up the old once and forever.

Speaking of Zombies anyone heard about the new City of the Dead FPS?
