Scripter Jeffrey Reddick spoke with Coming Soon.net about his various projects, one of which was this film. In it he explains how this will be a seperate movie and not be a direct sequel to Dawn of the Dead (2004). Here's more of what he had to say: "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 is directing, which I'm really excited about."

i loved this film for its intelligence and insights - but much of the acting was WRETCHED! So, I'll see the remake (although I suspect I'll leave disappointed - hmm, kind of like my sex life)

Whatever keeps the genre alive(ha)! Bring it on! Good...bad...it's still a new zombie flick!

Good point. It IS still a new Zombie Flick. Yippee!!

As long as Bub and the soldiers and Frankenstein are there, I will gladly see it, But if they weren't there I'd still see it but like zero said I may leave dissapointed

My sentiments exactly. New zombie flicks make me jig, no matter whom the director*.




*Uwe Boll has and will never apply to this rule, no matter what the genre or movie.

Movie should be good, considering the other two remakes in the series were both enjoyable and well made.

However, I'd place a rather large bet that that poster is fan made. Why do I say this? Perhaps the fact that it uses the same font as the Land of the Dead poster, as well as a very similar background. As this is being released by a different company, I doubt they would make a poster quite that similar to a recent film of the same genre. Also, the zombified hand looks somewhat unprofessional, especially around the fingers, leading me to believe that it was made in Photoshop. Dont get me wrong, it's well-made for a fan poster, but dont put much stock in seeing it hanging in your local theatre.
