[HauteTension676]

what is everybodys feelings and comments towards this movie?

also here is a article on bloody-disgusting about Land of the Dead

[MVP732]

i think the movie will be the best of them all.

[Khafka]

I'm a big George Romero fan I enjoy all of his movies!
I'm really looking forward to see it, and I'm anxious to
see how it evaluates.. it's very different from the three
first dead movies - since it's not as traditional as
them(I mean, they're not shooting the movie in
Pittsburgh, Tom Savini wont do the fx and so on...)

I'm not sure that it's going to be as good as Dawn but
it will overrun both Night and Day :)

[toolboxkiller]

yeah i agree, this movie really is going to a great movie, especially since is made by legendary director Goerge Romero

[IDrinkYourBlood]

I just hope this movie doesnt become botched by the film company like what happend with DAY. and im a little sceptic of the whole thing.

[MrShape]

I've been waiting for this for a while. I met George at a Fango con years ago and he seemed pretty enthusiastic about it. Hopefully they won't fuck around with it too much. I thought it should be called "Dusk Of The Dead", but what do I know?

[Hate_Breeder]

I hope they dont use CGI for everything :rolleyes:

[KRUGERKID13]

i can not see george romero using cgi

Me neither and Savini is doing effects again right?

[MichaelMyers]

Can't wait.

nope. savini no longer does effects for movies. KNB (kill bill v1&2) will be doing the effects. i was lucky enough to snag a photo of a zombie test makeup done by greg nicotero for the film. its pretty sweet, soon as i get a scanner ill post it up.

as for there being no cgi? i wouldnt get your hopes up, id say theres a pretty good chance that itll use cg the same way the dawn remake did.

Well that just took down my confidence on the film

[nightbreed]

last i talked to tom he had mentioned a brief cameo as a zombie. but perhaps that has since changed.

HauteTension676,

How dare you mispell Romero, that's just sad.

[CursedRatMonkey]

Land of the dead fun!

But I don't get something.
They said they will bring back the savini zombie.
But not Bub.But I am not saying BRING BACK BUB!
I am saying that in Day, didn't the doctor say something like the zombies with early stages of Decomposition have 10-15 years before severe decay cripples them?
Bub was founded around 85, it has been 14 years for Bub.
The Savini zombie is the biker guy from DAWN that died and became one (Or so they say).
OKAY, that was in 78-79.
The savini zombie would have around 25 years of decay.
OKay, that is going to be hard to pull off.

[Hellbound]

As long as there aren't any of these new "olympiad zombies" which seem to enjoy increased physical fitness and stamina once returned from the dead, as in the evil remake of Dawn, *spits*

[systemshock]

in one of the interviews i read about it he said he hates when they make zombies run and stuff so i'm sure he will stay with the his original zombie style

[Hellbound]

I have been told this as well. It's good to know that he's not selling out on the series just to sell tickets to all these new horror fans who've cropped up lately.

[last bad move]

[CursedRatMonkey]

CGI doesn't suck, it is the OVER USE of CGI, I think it should only be meant for touch-up's and such.

And they are making a joke out of the Rigor Mortis zombies.
I hope Ramero makes people shit their pants with the rigor mortis zombies.

THAT WILL SHOW THEM!

[Hellbound]

I think Peter Jackson has really shown how effective the use of CGI can be when it's done properly and not shoved down your throat the way George Lucas does it.

[CursedRatMonkey]

Lol, yeah.

And he has also shown how good of a film directer he really is.

[phantomstranger]

I'm really looking forward to this film, I met Mr Romero a couple of years ago and he seemed to be a great guy, really loves his fans. But do you think he will stay with his classic "slow moving" zombies or go with the new fast paced 28 Days Later kind? Either way its going to be a great movie.
On a side note...any Romero fans who need a "living Dead"fix may want to check out a new comic book called "Toe Tags" it's written by Romero and set in his zombie ruled world. It's published by DC and has some great covers by Bernie Wrightson.

[CursedRatMonkey]

Romero already said he is sticking to his original zombie look.
which is the Rigor Mortis slow ones.

[Cheeba V2.0]

Actually, from what I've read over at either UHM or Bloody Disgusting...there's going to be a few different types of the undead, some semi-sentient that have control/infuence over the slow "regular" zombies in the film...
and then there's going to be something we "haven't seen before".
Either way, I think it's safe to say that it'll be worth the wait.

[CursedRatMonkey]

cool.

[urgeok]

with any luck i'll get to see first hand.
I called about being an extra so they took my info..

I dont care if i'm there for more than one day - it'd be a dream come true...

I'm hoping this will be a big comback for Romero hopefully it'll be better than a lot of the shit he's put out over recent and not so recent years (fuck....what was his last good movie?)

[tom-tom]

i have mixed feelings towards Land Of The Dead, and i must admit i was a little surprised when i learnt thar George Romero was releasing a forth in his dead trilogy.
it should be good as long as he keeps to the style of the previous zombie movies and doesn't go over board with CGI.

[Elvis_Christ]

CGI will fuck this movie...... fuck it'll probably suck anyway man booze makes you cynical. But hopefully this will be the film of the year. I've got high hopes for it.

[JokerMONEY3000]

I heard in another post that all the strongest are in skyscrapers and living slightly normal lives. Then, their are more improved zombies that learn and think. Basically, the zombies begin to adapt and learn how to get inside. Thats what I heard anyways..

[nightbreed]

one of my insructors who is in tight with both romero and KNB recently informed me that the films distribution company, Universal, is shooting for pg-13 screen release, most likely fallowed by an "unrated" dvd release. thank you Universal for shitting on us once again...



...wheres lions gate when you need em?

[barbra]

it either going to be good, or horrible, I wonder if tom is going to have his hand in this movie, hope he has an action sequince like in children of the dead or from dusk til dawn. Even if he directs a portion of the film like in day of the dead that would rock. He HAS to do the gore. Who else can? Besides me of course....*dreams*

[AcidOsmosis]

If George Romero is directing the movie then I have all faith that it will be satisfactory.

[MrShape]

I thought it should be titled Dusk Of The Dead but what do I know?

[barbra]

I think when all the rumors where going around it was dusk, or at least thats what all the kiddies where calling it.
How come all these horror flicks are pg-13?!
Boo scenes really don't scare me. I like gore and exploding heads. Would a pg-13 rating alow exploding heads?

[ItsAlive75]

I'm not as worried about CGI as I am about John Leguizamo. The only movie I liked him in was Summer of Sam. I'm iffy on it.

But hey, the guys from Shaun of the Dead have a cameo! Rock on!!!

[Vodstok]

John Leguizamo can pull o fdramatic and serious extremely well. he is much more talented than he gets credit for. He just happens to VERY VERY good at playing annoying fruitcakes.

[ShankS]

iirc the filming has been completed, it's the film score that is yet to be finished. The studio were very pleased with what Romero had done, and offered him more finance to re-do a few scenes that he wasn't happy with.

FUCK yah, I'm really looking forward to this. The trailer's really, really good. Check it out on Yahoo movies.

this was filmed in my town .. after i see it i'll drive around getting location shots and post them.

I'm going to do the same thing this summer with The Mouth of Madness locations.

I can even get a couple of the Resident Evil 2 locations if anyone gives a shit about that.

I live seconds away from a few X-Men locations too ..

[JokerMONEY3000]

This movie looks soooo sick! I havn't been on horror.com for a while, but I came back after I heard this movie was coming out. I couldn't even believe it when I saw the trailer for the movie. I never thought that this movie was going to get made. I'm not really positive on the story line, can anyone help me out? I know that dead roam the earth and people are living in a walled in area, and the dead are begining to evolve. Thats about it.

[Gnaghi]

They also evolve as the film progresses making them faster/stronger/smarter. It will most likly be great since romero cant make a bad zombi film but i wish he wouldve strayed from the fast zombie fad.

cause i'm dying to see it - and i want to bask in the envy of the forum members

[JokerMONEY3000]

I think this movie is going to be amazing! With Romero directing it I doubt we'll be dissapointed. Does anyone know how long it is, cause one thing I liked about Dawn of the Dead was it's length. I hope it 2+ hours. Day of the Dead, im not sure how long it was, but it sure felt pretty long. I just hope they don't rush it.

don't know for sure but romero's films are usually a good lenght

Ahh, nice to have another kid who still has to sneak into movies or find someone over 17 to take them into rated "R" films.

Re-fucking-diculous how you can have a parent at the movies, telling the ticket guy that their kid can see the movie, and they still make the parents go in and watch it with you.

when I was 14-16 years old, the movie theater really didn't care what you were going to see as long as you paid for it. I guess soccer moms are really hard core these days. Shit, I started going to bars when I was 17. Life is a strange mistake to make.

Romero Ready With More Dead
George A. Romero, who returns after two decades to the genre he created with the upcoming zombie film Land of the Dead, told SCI FI Wire that the movie may mark the beginning of a new round of Dead films. "I mean, if this opens strong, I might be in a situation where I have to do another one of these or will be asked to do another one of these right away," writer/director Romero said in a news conference. "In which case I've sort of left the characters, you know, the truck and those characters, [intact]. I'd want to almost make it chapter two of the same movie, if that happens, and just sort of finish the story."

In Land of the Dead, Romero picks up the story of an America overrun with walking dead, which he last visited in 1985's Day of the Dead, the third movie in a trilogy that began with 1968's Night of the Living Dead. In Land of the Dead, Simon Baker plays Riley, the leader of a group of guns-for-hire who help sustain a walled city, one of the last remaining outposts of living humans. Romero says he has ideas for more films using the same characters, which include a feisty female warrior played by Asia Argento.

"I have an idea of ... how to go with it, and I would think of it in my mind as almost one film," Romero said. "If I had to do it like next year. Unless we get nuked or something and there's something else to talk about."

If a Land of the Dead sequel happens, it might affect Romero's ability to contribute a short film to Mick Garris' upcoming Masters of Horror anthology series for Showtime, he added. "If that happens, I may not be able to do the Masters of Horror. And I've been so tied up on this thing that I haven't been able to write a script for it. Mick sent me a couple of scripts. A couple of them are pretty nice. So I'm still hoping that I can get a couple of weeks and be able to do that. But I have a couple of other things that we're working on. Again, everything would get trumped if they want to do a sequel to this."

For his part, Baker confirmed that he's got an option to reprise the role of Riley in a Land of the Dead sequel. Land of the Dead opens June 24.

[UODrake]

Hey, Romero is gonna be at Pittsburgh for a early screening of Land of the Dead on the 22nd. I am going down and am wondering if anyone wants to dress up like Zombies and camp outside. There's going to be a party afterwards where you can talk to the Legend. If anyone is interested in meeting up and doing that leave a post. Also, I hope you guys have checked out the unrated trailer with all the extra blood and gore lol. It is some serous pwnage.

yeah, it's really getting expensive now n days and I probably shouldn't, but what can I say, I love seeing movies in the theatre. And I don't spend my money on lots of things that people normally do (don't eat much, don't smoke or drink, rarely buy new clothes) so it leaves more room for movies. especially Land of the dead. don't care if it's my last 10 bucks

Only 8 hours and 45 minutes until the first showing in my hometown. I should be going to bed, but I'm way too excitied to sleep. lol

[MisterSadistro]

I just got back from the midnight showing. Here are my opinions on it. (SPOILERS AHEAD !!!!!!!)
I imagine the scene went down like this:
Hollywood Exec #1: How should we rip off the public this time ?
Hollywood Exec #2: Remakes are hot right now.
HE#1: True, but all the stupid old tv shows have been done already.
HE#2: How about a proven cult film. These kids today love that crap, esp since they never seem to know there was an original.
HE#1: Right again, but every title worth remaking has already been done, too.
HE#2: Maybe we can combine a few films then and market as something new ?
HE#1: We need some action and adventure. That always sells.
HE#2: Like the 'Mad Max' or 'Escape From New York' ?
HE#1: Both ! Now we need something where an inhuman army overthrows it's less than human ruling class. Like that 'Planet of the Apes' movie with the orange jumpsuits.
HE#2: You wanna use apes in the movie ?!
HE#1: Don't be an idiot ! Horror movies are hot right now. We'll use zombies.
HE#2: That's a great idea, too. How will we get everyone to see it ? Zombie movie fans can be a very fickle bunch. We can't possibly get all of them in to see it. Can we ?
HE#1: Of course. We'll have the Great One himself direct it.
HE#2: Wayne Gretzky ?
HE#1: Idiot ! George Romero ! All the great horror directors of the last 30 odd years didn't make much off their classic films. It's time for him to get an overdue pay day. It's a win-win situation for him and us.
HE#2: That's why you're the #1 boss and I'm only #2.
HE#1: Stick with me, kid, and I'll teach you how to make someone as inept as Paris Hilton into a box office draw.
In case you can't tell, I didn't care for it at all. It borrowed so much from other films, I wouldn't be surprised if the lawsuits started piling up. For example, when the anti-hero of the film is hired by rich badguy in tower who has "rebuilt" the city after the apocolypse, what does anti-hero ask for as payment to recover badguy's super tank ? His car and enough gas to get him away from the city/fortress. Sound familiar ?
Every possible character type was used here. The tough girl prostitute, the anti-hero's dim sidekick, the 2nd in command with big dreams of running the show, the cigar chomping badguy in the penthouse suite, etc. Everyone handled their roles well, but the story itself was pointless and redundant from other great films to a much lesser degree.
Zombies are now a learning and reasoning bunch thanks to their "leader" (Big Daddy). Why overtake the big city only to leave it moments afterwards ? I guess for a big finale since there didn't seem to be any other reason. Other than that, they're back to basic zombies (not like the runners in '28 Days Later' or 'Dawn of the Dead 2004'). Of course there always seems to be one floating around every other scene just to remind us that this is supposed to be a zombie film. Otherwise they appear out of nowhere at inconvenient times for the characters and disappear after enough fx are shown to keep the audience interested. Sadly, I think the film failed. There was a full house at the theatre tonight so you know everyone there was a die-hard fan. Everyone just seemed quiet and rather dejected by this installment when exiting. I have to agree. It would seem the master now imitates his imitators. Sorry.

there arent a lot of horror films that get critical acclaim .. and who knows - maybe we are all in for a huge letdown ...

(i did hear a while back from an extremely close source that there was a bit of trouble and confusion on the set re. Romero)

but screw it - i want to see it no matter what.

[alkytrio666]

Actually, it got some very, very good revews.

RottenTomatoes.com (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/land_of_the_dead/)

67% of reviwers gave it "thumbs up".

Damn good for a horror movie, if you ask me.

[bwind22]

This movie has been promoted from Upcoming to Modern Horror so I just started a new thread for it over there for anyone that's seen it to discuss it.

[barbra]

you know what I didn't understand?
what was the realivance of money? When hopper was leaving the city he took a bag of cash. I mean what the fuck? I suppose it could be symbolic, but you know sometimes symbolism is a cop out big time.

[BH14]

I have yet to see it but you should post "SPOILER" if you are gonna say an important part of the movie, Barbra. Hopefully, its not an important part of the movie and it wont ruin it for me when i check it out.

I actually was wondering that too. There was about 10 people in the theatre when we went, and I literally said out loud "What the fuck is he bringing that for? Why does he need money?", then these two nerds in front of me high-fived.

It was confusing.

[Killer Clown#1]

Holy shit this is definatly the best in the series since Dawn. I did not know what to expect because they didn't show that much in the trailers(which is a good thing). The gore was awsome, and I'm surprised they got away with that much. Oh and by the way money still works in their society as it does in ours. People still do stuff for money so they can eventualy live in the big building thing (Cholo). The people who don't have much money live on the streets.

You have to make it to the next refuge. seems silly. And I was also wondering, when they went looting in the towns did they loot shops to help restock their shopping mall that only the super elite where alowed in? and how did all the loot get disturbited through out all the social classes? there where restraunts in the tower and in the slums it was like a carnival. If I lived in a zombie nation, I think that amo would be more valuble than money...

watch out for spoilers above.. ;)

[barbra]

oh yeah and what was with all the technology?

[BH14]

SPOILERS**************************Lots of them

I saw it today and liked it... Money was still be using by everyone whether rich or poor and Kaufman was a greedy SOB so his concern was money of course... Also, I wouldnt expect Kaufman to grab as many guns as he can and storm out there looking like Arnold in "Commando". But he did take 1 handgun with him when he was heading out. He also blew away some guy when he said "Look out, get down!!" and bang!!... I love that part. I was cracking up. I also remember him wanting the big truck with all the weapons on it thats why he sent out his goons with Riley and Slack. "Thats my truck i paid for it".
Cholo worked for Kaufman and remember how Cholo said Kaufman owed him tons of money for his work... I was assuming he did his crap work like going into the slums to re-stock that hotel/mall and whatever else... Cholo even wanted to live there but Kaufman denied him.

Usually, when you post spoilers in a movie, its to make a point. I'm not tryin' to be an ass, but this just seems to be in the context of how you liked the film.

Reply to ItsAlive:

If you look 2 posts above mine, you will see Barbra asking some questions. She was asking about the importance of money... Then I answered.... That was the POINT. Then she made referrence towards guns and then I said he had a handgun and was also try to get that truck back..... Do you see the point? Questions and then Answers. That post was REPLYING to Barbara's post and the questions.

[barbra]

yeah the truck would have been bitchin' but the idea of zombie invading the city wasn't really a concern at that point, just getting back the truck that he paid for. I don't really remember if they mentioned other survivors but the use of money really is silly. I don't think that hopper was looting the SLUMS to fill his mall either.

[BH14]

Hopper had money so he literally never had to loot the slums.... Cholo and his guys were working for Hopper and I would assume Cholo would go into the zombie areas for "necessities" and "non-necessities". Thats why i think Cholo was expecting tons of money. I think he said 80 grand. What do you think Cholo was doing for Hopper that cholo expected all that money?

If you're replying to Barbra's question, then quote her question so I know you're replying to it. If it was 2 posts above yours, how am I supposed to know? You just started it with SPOILERS: LOTS OF EM. Again, not bein' an ass, I was just confused.

[elcreepybones]

For Romero being the master of all things zombie, i expected more from the film. I have been into Romero's work since I saw dawn of the dead. He has a directorial eye for focusing alot on the setting. He uses it as a scare factor. And in Land Of The Dead i felt he kind of strayed from that ideal.

Land of the Dead was the WORST of the series. How you can go from a classic and awesome remake like Dawn of the Dead to this crap is beyond me. Who's idea was it for these monsters to not be able to run? In "28 Days Later" the zombies ran. It was awesome. In "Dawn of the Dead" the zombies ran. It was awesome. Who wants to see slow-walking zombies after that? NOT ME!

My answer would be Fulci. ;)


Other than that i 100% agree with you. The movie was a great disappointment. Felt like it was rushed, incomplete and reminded me more of a sequel to "Resident Evil" than "Dawn of the dead".

Ooh! Ooh, I still want to see slow moving zombies! Ooh! And 28 Days Later aint a zombie flick! Ooh! And going from a remake of a classic to a movie by the originator of the genre is a good idea!

Are you kidding me, you don't even know what your talking about. In 28 Days Later not the zombies but "THE INFECTED" ran. Did you even watch the movie? In "Dawn of the Dead" Remake the zombies ran because Hollywood wanted them too, plus in a way they were "The Infected" cause unlike the original Dead films, the only way you became a zombie was if you were bitten, in the original Dead films you became a zombie if you were KILLED or BITTEN. It shouldn't of even been called Dawn of the Dead. The only similarity was the fact that they were in a shopping mall. To answer your question "Who wants to see slow-walking zombies after that?". Well as you can see zombies really never ran. Judging by the rules of your typical zombie flick. They were simply infected. Even if you want to call Dawn of the Dead Remakes zombies acutual zombies. I still would like to see them walk. It just makes more sense.
Just follow these rules:

Living Dead/Zombie- 1) Is someone who has died and come back to life with it's brain still connected to the body.
2) Or someone who has been bitten by another dead person.
3) Typically walks.

Infected - 1) Is ONLY someone who has been bitten.
2) Typically runs because technically that person is still alive.

Thats basically how I think of it. If the Dawn of the Dead Remake zombies acutally could die and come back to life maybe we could debate, but their is a fine line between Zombie and Infected.

BTW- Hollywood does the dumbest shit just to make money. Thier is now talk about a Dawn of the Dead 2. Can you believe that bullshit. Its a sequel to the Dawn of the Dead Remake. ITS NOT DAY OF THE DEAD, but Dawn of the Dead 2. It's the dumbest shit ever. I wish they would just stop making remakes and start making new stuff. I have to constantly explain to my friends the order of horror movie franchises. Between remakes and sequels "normal people" just don't know. Almost all my friends thought that Land of the Dead was another remake. I had to explain to them that it was a sequel ...and between the original films, the remakes and the Return of the Living Dead series they had no idea in what order to watch it. Its joke, Hollywood and Horror just seem to be in differnt directions now.

It wasn't a shit movie. It was one of the best horror movies to come out this year. I liked this movie alot, but I don't think this is Romero worthy. For HIM to direct this movie makes it bad, because he had so much more potential than this. I would have been happy with this movie if it was directed by someone else. I just think that if Romero wasn't trying to please everyone, and went back to just making movies for his fans this movie would have kicked ass. Why make the R-Rating? He should of fought for unrated. I know it was the production company that made it R, but when u really think about it, theirs no point. Anyone who wasn't a huge fan of the series didn't understand if it was a remake/sequel/ or original movie. So many thought it looked like shit. Only the true fans went to go see it. I saw it the day it came out and the theater only had about 8 people in it. You could tell they were die hard fans because they all recognized Tom Savani in it. And everyone stayed for the credits to make sure they didn't miss any cameos. This movie was supposed to be for the fans and it wasn't. I agree with you, Dawn of the Dead will always be the best in the series. I watched it today acutually. I never get sick of it, I probably watch it once every 2 months. But Land of the Dead wasn't a shit movie. It was still a prety decent film, it just didn't live up to its potential.

[lee challenger]

George Romero was on national radio in the UK yesterday and he was asked if he will be making any more films in the "Dead" series
and he said he difinitely will be.
He sounded very upbeat and excited at the release of Land Of The Dead and he said he has plenty of more ideas when it comes to zombies.
Let's just hope we don't have to wait so long for the next movie.

[BLOODYDAMNED]

I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD.
I was told by a few people the movie sucked.

[JokerMONEY3000]

I think it would be cool if, instead of continuing the Dead series after Land of the Dead. He went back in time and made a sort of prequel back in the same time zone as Dawn of the Dead. Back when the Dead just started to come. Except in a different area. Like from another point of view. I love the idea of a group of people coming together to fight something and Dawn of the Dead was just a great movie to me, so was Night of the Living Dead. (thats a lil too old for me though). Day of the Dead was good, but it was too far later in time to have that "chaotic feeling" and in Day of the Dead they were alot safer. For some reason I think it would be amazing to have a Dead film set in a fast food restaraunt. And take place over like 2 years. I dunno why. Fast food restaraunts (where i live at least) seem so protected. Like they are EZ to blockade off. And all that food u could live off of. I dunno. It seems like such a great idea to me. haha, any opinions?
