Scarface187 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Day of the Dead remake. I knew about this remake before but I just saw this. Seriously, what is the connection between this movie and the original? Even the Dawn of the Dead remake was some what enjoyable. I shouldn't judge a movie just by a trailer but seriously. What the f*ck? I'm really hoping this is fake. EDIT - Wow I didn't realize this was that old. Edited May 15, 2007 by Scarface187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I quite liked the Dawn of the Dead remake, but I also liked the idea that they all died at the end even though it wasn't implicitly stated. One thing it lacked, however, was the social subtext. I hope they can stay true to Day of the Dead's anti-establishment themes. But I'm sure it'll be a ripping good time. I mean, it's not that sad a day for horror classes. I'ts not like they're remaking Halloween, or anything, helmed by a music video director. Oh. Wait.

Andy... Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Could have sworn I saw a trailer for a remake of Day of the Dead before but oh well. Doesn't look like anything special although for a second there I thought I saw Tony Almeida from 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Malcolm McDowell is playing Dr. Loomis in that. That gave me a reason to see it right there. Yeah I kind of enjoyed the remake of Dawn but it actually had something in connection with the original as the survivors were held up in a mall. This doesn't look like it has anything to do with the original. Plus wtf? Nick Cannon is in it? My God. However, if it has a gun totting, saluting, Beethoven listening zombie named Bub and a scene almost as awesome as this...... EDIT: Oh yeah if you have a weak stomach you might not want to watch it as it contains some zombie gore. Then I might feel a bit better. Still...

TheDude5000 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 DOTD '04 was a very well done movie, and I was looking forward to a sequel, but from the looks of this trailer this movie isn't gonna be too good. It was supposed to have been released this Spring, for all we know it'll go Direct-To-Video. Looks like a generic zomb flick, doesn't even have real connections to the first one. I don't think even Ving Rhames can save this movie, I'd much rather see a direct sequel to DOTD '04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayo Puño Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Day of the Dead is a movie. The old one looks sweet, this one looks like sh*t though. Edited May 18, 2007 by Rayo Puño Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshield Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Bub and the magnum-toting Caribbean helo pilot are all that matters for this remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Isn't Mena Suvari a little short to be a soldier? YEAH THAT WAS MY BIGGEST GRIPE It's not connected to the original trilogy or the remake. So if it is as much of a turd as it looks we can all just forget about it and get on with our lives. The opening of Dawn of the Dead '04 was just about the best 10 minutes of any zombie film ever. Edited May 18, 2007 by WidowMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
