Millennium Films, Taurus Entertainment and Emmett/Furla Films are developing a remake of George A. Romero's 1985 Day of the Dead, which will be financed and distributed through Millennium, says Variety.

The original film was set in a world overrun by pesky zombies bent on extracting a group of scientists and military personnel who have holed up in an underground bunker.

"Day" was a sequel to Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead and 1978 Dawn of the Dead.

Universal Pictures released a remake of "Dawn" last year, which grossed $102 million worldwide. Romero's "Land of the Dead" is set for a June 24 release.

there was a bunch of stuff last year about a movie called "Day of the Dead: Contagion", which doesnt seem to have gone anywhere. Maybe this is different? At any rate, unless they are extremely lucky and/or talented, im sure it will flop.

its pointless .. maybe the most pointless one yet ..

but i'll see it - its not like there's enough zombie movies around.

I doubt that it will flop, judging by the success of the new Dawn. But will it be good? Doubt it.

It doesn't really matter...I'll still buy it...And so will many of YOU... :p

Should be interesting! it may be more faithful to the original script that George Romero intended.

Contagium got cancelled. Although the special effects looked pretty good to me.

Day should be pretty good in my opinion..i'll see it. Just because Day is my favorite of the Dead series.

I'll see it and buy it just cause it has zombies in it. I'm not surprised to see that a lower studio such as Taurus headding this remake since Day was always looked at as the odd ball of the Night/Dawn/Day trilogy, since it wasn't as inovative as the previous two, and being released around the same time as Return of the Living Dead.In my own oppinon. And you had to have seen this coming since Night and Dawn both had remakes.

I thought Day was pretty underrated and I enjoyed it and the premise, especially all the stuff with Bub the zombie. I'd like to see how they update the film, although it will be tough to find such an awesome subterranean set like that. I saw on the Day DVD special features that the underground location is rented out for office and storage space.

*Correction*

You had to have seen this coming since every movie in Hollywood has been or is being remade.
