Dawn of the Dead (2004)

[NavyVet]

My arm and approximately 1/5 of my body appeared in the original...would have made it in whole, but a guy who was standing to my right wasn't being zombie enough and they cut him out and most of me went with him. Still got paid.

Except the old Dawn of the Dead.

Man, it's been years since I saw the original.

I think I'll save up and get this set in the future:

I just bought the unrated version of the new Dawn of the Dead because everyone said it was awesome.

I let the hype get to me and I was a little disappointed. It was a good film, but not that good.

I guess I wanted the old version, just newer, and I didn't get it. I did see a lot of the actors from the old version had cameos in this film, which I thought was cool.

Supposedly Romero, the guy who created the Living Dead genre, is currently making a film called Island of the Dead. Hopefully he'll pick up the story where he left it off with Day of the Dead.

I'm starting to worry: Am I going to hate every film that Hollywood remakes?

There is also a sequel in the works for Dawn of the Dead. Not the '78 version, and not a remake of Day of the Dead. A sequel to the recently released Dawn of the Dead, in a different direction than Day of the Dead.

Director Zack Snyder told SCI FI Wire that Universal Pictures has already approached him to make a follow-up to his hit zombie remake Dawn of the Dead, but that the movie won't be a remake of George Romero's own sequel, Day of the Dead. "It's fascinating, because it's the sequel to our movie," Snyder said in an interview. "I was like, 'We should do a sequel to Day,' but they [weren't interested]."

Snyder helmed the remake of Romero's Dawn, which is now on DVD. Snyder said that he and screenwriter James Gunn diverged from the rules Romero created for the original Dawn, which rendered it difficult to continue remaking Romero's movies. "Inadvertently we created a whole different world," Snyder said. "We went off, and in a lot of ways the rules that George created don't apply at the end of this Dawn."

Snyder said that his original idea for the remake may have made subsequent films harder to develop. "I always wanted to make a movie where the zombies won from the beginning," he said. "I think I demonstrated that in the first 10 minutes. It doesn't take long for them to really kind of win. It's more about, like, you're [in] an air bubble."

Snyder said that talks have begun with Universal, but the project does not have a definite start date. "We kicked around some ideas, but I don't know what we're going to do with it," he said. "We've talked about it. I met with James. I met with the producers. The heat comes on and off of that. I think Universal wants it bad." Universal is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.

I am sure that there is already a thread for it, but this movie was pretty good. I just rented it and now kicking myself for not seeing it in the theaters.

Flipping scary.....

Funny when they were shooting at the celebs too.....
