Description: Day of the Dead will be a remake of George A. Romero's classic zombie film of the same name, the third in the the Living Dead series. Steve Miner has signed on to direct while Jeffrey Reddick will write the script.
The plot of the original film was about a small group of survivors inside of an underground military bunker when the world becomes overrun with zombies.
According to Reddick, this film will not have any connection to Zack Snyder's 2004 remake Dawn of the Dead. Reddick told ComingSoon.net:
“It's going to be a separate movie, he told us. We wanted to pay homage to the original with the military and the scientists and the socially relevant stuff that George Romero always does, but we wanted to put a fresh spin on it. There will be similarities, but there'll be differences as well that I think fans will hopefully dig. Steve Miner (Friday the 13th Part 2) is directing, which I'm really excited about.”
A teaser poster has surfaced over the internet. There is no word as to whether this is an official poster or simply a fan made one, although it bears a strong resemblance to a poster for Land of the Dead that features a severed hand gripping a fence.
It is produced by Danny Dimbort, one of the producers of The Wicker Man and The Black Dahlia.
There are reports on bloody-disgusting.com that a reliable source has stated that Ving Rhames and Mena Suvari have been cast and that Rhames has been cast as Captain Rhodes, originally played by Joseph Pilato. The article also reports that shooting in or around Bulgaria or Romania was to begin in July, 2006. Also, IMDb reports that Christa Campbell, Matt Rippy, Vanessa Johansson, Linda Maralowe, Ian McNeice, Taylor Hoover and Hugh Skinner are attached.
bloody-disgusting.com states:
“the film is a typical zombie film, virus infects town, people start biting each other, virus spreads by the bites, and a handful of survivors try to make it out of town alive. In this one the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine on the small town of Leadville, CO because of the mysterious virus. Once they realize the virus eventually makes people start ravenously attacking each other, it's too late... EXCEPT for a few.”
On October 23, 2006, a trailer was put on the internet but was taken down a few hours later. A copy of this trailer is available on Youtube. Due to thecontent in the trailer, many fans are concerned about the quality of the movie, including theories that it will be straight to dvd.
The zombies shown in the trailer seem similar to the zombies featured in Dawn of the Dead. Both seem to have high speed and much more mobility than the Romero zombies in the original film.
