Dawn of the Dead: The trailer has been released...

[Guest Crazy Dan]

I think this movie could have potential. It has Sarah Polley and Ving Rhames in it, two actors I do like. And a while back there was a posting topic which had a spoiler on it which went over the story, and the story wasn't half bad. Also, I think the quick zombies in this case are ones which have just recently turned. Something about how once a person is killed by a zombie, they flatline, and then turn. These zombies still maintain most of their physical traits, hence the reason they can move fast.

 

But this is just another example of how Hollywood is really runnig out of ideas. The great thing about 28 Days Later, is that it was very original. If Dawn remake can scare you and maintain a level of tension and claustrophobia of being trapped in a mall, then it will be a good film. But if this a movie being made with no real reason of remake, then it will bomb and make all it's money back in DVD's.

1. 28 Days Later was an independent British horror film. Nothing Hollywood about it.

 

2. 28 Days Later was an homage to two Romero movies (The Crazies, Day Of The Dead). Not TOO originaly, but something that isn't done too often.

If they must do a Romero remake, at least do The Crazies. Even Romero said he wouldn't mind seeing that happen, on the Day of The Dead commentary.

I was just thinking about the 'slow zombie' thing and it just sort of made me consider some things.

 

1) Zombies as 'de-evolved' people would not make them slower by any stretch of the imagination. Sure they might not be able to recite Shakespere, but the ability to run and fight are more instintual and should not be effected. Dogs aren't brilliant but they can sure run your ass down.

 

2) Being 'so dead' that they can't move effectively would also make them so dead that they couldn't drag people down well either. So making zombies the threat that they seem to be (as in they destroy whole communities) also seems way hard to believe.

The problem is that the entire zombie mythos makes the creatures slow-moving, slow-witted entities. Voodoo zombies are slow-moving (do to the drug-induced state), and thus all zombies have become slow-moving.

 

Also, the zombies are scarier when they're slow-moving. Because then not only do they want to eat your flesh/brains, but they also take their time doing it. I'd rather see a mass of 200 slow-moving zombies than 50 running zombies.

Fuck this movie. It won't even come close to the original. The sad fact isn't even that this is getting remade, it's that George Romero won't get the funding to make the final film of the series.

 

 

FUCK PHONY HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how people shit all over the movie before they've even seen it.

Think about it like this:

Dawn Of The Dead is to zombie films what The Godfather is to crime films. Would you want to see a remake of The Godfather, one that changes many of the elements of the story?

Dude, I don't even have to "think" about something like that to justify it. You're talking to a guy who grew up watching Romeo films. You're talking to a guy, who as a kid, lived and breathed horror movies. I could really care less if a film I love is remade, because honestly - there's NOTHING you can do about it. It's going to happen regardless of how much us fanboys are into it. I'm just glad they're making zombie movies in the year 2003 AT ALL... ...and something tells me that if this movie is being remade in the first place, than the big cheese himself [Romero] is fine with it.

 

..and what do I care if the remake changes story elements? I have the originial. I've seen in a billion and a half times. Big woop.

ok saw it, i don't know, looks to Resident Evil-ish too me, a little too polished you know.

 

i'm gonna be seeing it anyway, but the original its my favorite Zombie movie ever so, i know i'll be dissapointed.

How about Romero, has no say at all. He only gets some of the money from the title of the film as someone else actually owns the name. It's not a shot for shot remake, so they can remake it and not pay Romero for anything(story related). So THAT is the reason I will not support this piece of shit.

You should try thinking before you 'speak', it works wonders.
