Day of the Dead Trailer

[cd213 0]

I found the trailer for the Day of the Dead remake. It doesn't really look anything like the original. I'm also not happy about the fact that it looks like Nick Cannon will survive in the film. I'm not very happy with this (seeing as Day has grown on me as my favorite of the series, eventhough Night was the first horror film I saw when I was 5 and I LOVE Night).

Not good, not good at all. I could complain about it, but that won't make it go away. So I just won't see it. It still won't go away, but I won't see it, and that's good enough, I guess.

Day Of The Dead was the worse one out of the original trilogy so I'm not looking foward to it to begin with. In fact, all the remakes of the original trilogy have been terrible.

I honestly don't get how people can like Dawn of the Dead once it turns into bikers vs. zombies dreck.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Nick Cannon. Fucking awesome.

[randomguy 0]

This is Day of the Dead? Is it even supposed to be a remake, it doesn't look anything like DotD.

 

When Day of the Dead started zombies had already overrun the world and the entire thing took place on an army base. This looks more like Resident Evil 3 than anything resembling Day of the Dead. Other than army guys this doesn't have anything in common with it at all.

I really like the Dawn Of The Dead remake.

So...the last 15 minutes of the movie? The part where everything comes crashing down on the main characters because of Flyboy's (you know, I love the original, but I always forget that character's actual name...Steve is it?) greed? The awesome gore scenes (best in the whole movie) that ensue on the bikers? It's just one part of the commentary in the film, this one being how people make fun of the problem thinking they're immune to it...and then it bites them in the ass (or, in this case, the throat) in the end.

The acting looks horrible, and the trailer was edited like shite, but I'll still see this.

You know, I've never seen any of the "...of the Dead" movies yet. I really need to at least see the original "Night of the Living Dead" movie, but my wife is scared to death of horror movies, so I don't know when that will happen.

I don't agree. I liked the 90 remake of NOTLD, and Dawn of the Dead from a couple years ago is one of my favorite zombie movies.

 

This does look bad. The Dawn remake was kind of serious, this just looks cheap. With random teenagers beind stalked by zombies.

ya know, when the title card in the trailer held for as long as it did, I was dreading that someone would give some horrible one-liner to close out the trailer. And boy did Nick Cannon not dissapoint. "It's a bad day to be a zombie!" Ugh

[NoCalMike 0]

Why in the hell do all the zombies in the trailer sound like teradactyls? This looks more like 28 Days Later then a true Zombie flick........consider me DISSAPOINTED!!!

[randomguy 0]

Yeah, the 90s remake of Night of the Living Dead was pretty decent. I saw it for free on OnDemand last year.

[Red Baron 0]

This does look disappointing.

 

In about two years, we'll see a newer version of this done by George A. Romero.

[Ravenbomb 0]

ya know, with every passing second I hate the last line of this trailer a little more. It's to the point where if I'm ever listing things that are wrong with something, the fact that the Day of the Dead trailer ends with the line "It's a bad day to be a zombie!" will be among them.

Don't bet on it, George isn't exactly buddy buddy with the folks who own the rights to "Day".

Last I heard, Romero is trying to get another Dead movie made with Universal.

[Guest LuckyLopez]

Diary of the Dead, which is supposed to be set as another look at the first night from Night. I believe filming is already underway.

 

This is Day of the Dead? Is it even supposed to be a remake, it doesn't look anything like DotD.

I thought I saw similar elements but maybe I was just looking for them. The soldiers reacting to this mess compared to the doctors (or he doctors kids its seemed). And what looked like some kind of bunker/holed up idea. I don't know. An oddly young cast and what looked like a very roughly edited trailer.

Romero should remake the Crazies.

[2GOLD 0]

Romero should remake the Crazies.

 

Too late, Hollywood is already doing it for him. Bet it'll be as great as the remake of The Wicker Man!

[luke-o 0]

My god that trailer looks fucking awful.

 

It just looks so bad, i cant even begin to describe whats wrong with it.

 

And for the record, i quite like Day of the Dead. Its a great look at how some people react to the end of the world.

[AboveAverage484 0]

This looks fuckin' gay.

And heeeeeeeeere we go. It's full of spoilers, but I don't think it's going to matter with this piece of shit. I've put the main plot points in spiler tags though, but I think you people just just go ahead and read it all. We already know the trailer is a piece of shit. An way, if you don't read all of the spoilers, at least read this - one of the zombies is

a vegetarian, and refuses to eat people

. Yeahhhhhhhh...:

Hey guys,

 

The Helper Monkey here. I just got back from a screening of the Day of the Dead remake staring Mena Suvari, Ving Rhames and Nick Cannon, written by Jeffery Reddick, and directed Steve Miner.

 

One word: Wow.

 

Three more words: This movie sucks!

 

Again this is more of a warning than anything else. They are going to try and trick you into seeing this flaming turd. The ads are going to try and make you think this is another Dawn of the Dead. It's not.

 

It's barely a remake of Day of the Dead. It takes place in Colorado. The zombie apocalypse has not happened yet. They are not studying zombies. Technically it's a remake but the only thing they have in common is a title and a zombie named Bud.

 

Starts out with some teens in a creepy old, abandoned building. Hot young teens getting it on. Awesome! Except it's strictly PG-13. No tits. No Ass. Boring. They leave for some contrived reason and the slutty chic is left behind to walk home. Oooo I bet she's gonna get eaten by zombies because the scary music is playing.

 

Cut to people trying to leave a small town that's under quarantine. Ving Rhames is the head Army guy in charge. Mena is the most unrealistic second in command ever. Nick Cannon is the wise cracking black private.

 

Mena is worried that her Mom is sick so she goes home to take her to the hospital. Private Bud tags along. He has a crush on her and is a vegetarian (ridiculously enough this is worth mentioning). Turns out Mena's brother is one of the horny teens. So they all go to the hospital and find Ving's there with Nick Cannon.

 

The hospital is overrun with patients. They all have colds and nose bleeds. POOF! All of a sudden everyone with the sniffles turns into zombies.

 

But these aren't regular zombies. These zombies are fast! They run, they climb up walls and crawl across the ceiling. They even drive cars. When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will drive the earth. These zombies even dive out of the way when you try to hit them with a car. I'm pretty sure several were having a book club meeting. And in an inspiring bit of fancy, they burst into ash like cheap CGI vampires when they're set on fire.

 

So Ving gets eaten at the hospital and is a zombie for about 6 minutes. There's a less than thrilling chase through some air vents. Ving bites Bud. Nick Cannon wants to shoot him. Sgt. Mena says no. The group gets separated. The teens end up at a radio station and the army guys end up in a humvee. Bud turns into a full blown zombie but doesn't want to eat his friends because he's a vegetarian. I shit you not. He won't eat people because he's a fucking vegetarian. At least I now know I'll be say in LA when the zombies come because everyone here is a vegan.

 

So the survivors get supplies from a gun store where Nick Cannon finds a magic shotgun that shoots fire like a flame thrower, but it only has two bullets. A flame-throwing shotgun. How did no one at any point from script to screen not say, "Hey I know it's a zombie movie but a magic shotgun that shoots flames seems a little far fetched."

 

They rescue the teens and head out of town only to crash the humvee into a tree when a zombie flies through the windshield. Now they need a place to hide, but where? How about that old abandoned building from the beginning? Perfect!

 

The building turns out to be an old missile silo. And guess what the government's been secretly researching in a hidden underground lab. If you guessed "How to waist 2 hours of my life," you're correct! You'd also be correct if you said chemical weapons that mutate and turn people into zombies.

 

Nick Cannon gets eaten. The remaining survivors realize they are trapped underground, surrounded by zombies and the only way out is to use some old rocket fuel to set the Z's on fire. Mena tries to lure all the zombies to one place by running really fast. She gets caught. Zombie Bud saves her with the magic shotgun. They blow up the rest of the zombies and drive away in a Mercedes SUV.

 

You'll ask yourself how did the remake of Dawn of the Dead turn out to be so good and this one turn out so shitty? It's simple. This is not a sequel to the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. Even though it has Ving Rhames in it playing a character that is kinda supposed to be the brother of the character he played in Dawn. The two films have nothing in common other then they are both remakes of classics and Ving. Zack Snyder has nothing to do with this movie. Neither does Universal or Strike Entertainment who made the Dawn remake.

 

The whole time I was watching Day of the Dead I kept thinking this is a lot like one of those unwatchable Sci-fi channel tv-movies, and now that I've seen the director's IMDB page I'm not surprised. Steve Miner may have started in films but he's spent the last decade slumming on TV and the scariest film he's ever directed was Soul Man.

 

C. Thomas Howell still gives me the creeps.

[2GOLD 0]

HAHAHAHAHA FANTASTIC!

Even Sci-Fi would look at that and go, "you gotta be shitting me!"

 

Zombies that crawl up the fucking walls and a zombie that refuses to eat flesh

, I mean this is just Return of the Living Dead part 42 or whatever hell number they have reached by now.

[Downhome 0]

The only way this movie will be worth watching is if it is able to reach the "so bad it's good" status, but from what I can tell, it doesn't even get to this point. Instead, it's just so bad it's unwatchable.

Might be fun for a home version of MST3k with my friends. Course, it could be like the Sci-Fi movie "Boo" and just be so horrible it cannot be made fun of. On the plus side,

Nick Cannon DOES die in it

Good lord, that manages to sound worse than the trailer looks.

I'd probably laugh more at this then I would at many comedies out there.

[Downhome 0]

Just reading about it, it seems like a great idea for a comedy. I can't beleive they're trying to stick it in this movie.
