Funny, that trailer paints the movie as having nearly every aspect that Romero has ever bashed about all the zombie movies that came after his. How ironic.

I'm hoping it's just Romero bending over to Universal's demands of making the movie seem hip and nu metalized in the trailer, instead of him having turned into a senile, old director that's a shell of his former self, like John Carpenter.

The zombies don't run in this movie, get that out of your head, it is not a Romero thing. Also this a sequel to Day of the Dead, not the Dawn Remake. Not all the zombies can think(very few actually) and the ones that do are not super intelligent. Bub was a pretty intelligent zombie, how are you guys fogetting that? Bub just has a few more friends in this one.

Also, Peter clearly calls them zombies in Dawn, obviously someone wasn't paying attention.

And to adress people who think this is against the old movies, it isn't. The zombies are still zombies. They've had just the smallest emotions since Dawn. Do you remember that Bub I just mentioned, he had a lot of emotions. Also remember in Day when Logan shut off the lights with those 2 rowdy zombies, they acted like little kids being disciplined. The whole idea, starting with Dawn, is that zombies are us. They are remembering their lives. In this movie, three years after the incident, they are starting to become more human. They are learning from humans, just like Bub. To me it only seems logical. Humans go back to society, zombies get less chances to eat humans, zombies figure out how to get to humans.

While I haven't seen Day of the Dead ... YET...
You're absolutely right.

Here are the 2 guys who are scoring the film according to the credits in the trailer:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0374112/

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0459517/

Not very nu-metal.

Also, there IS going to be a sequel to Dawn of the Dead 2004. NOT a Day of the Dead remake, but an actual sequel to a remake. Has that ever been done before?

The Ring/The Ring Two

Also Oceans Twelve.

I've been discussing most everyone's reaction to this film with a friend. He's decided this:
"wish to destroy: that forum is filled with queers and homosexuals and fuck morones. go tell them that."

All you people saying this film looks like shit for one reason or another fall into this category.

 

[Insertia]

That looks awful. If someone told me that was a trailor for RE3 I probably would believe it.

Anyway, this thread has made me want to look into the original Romero Dead trilogy.
Which two out of the three (Night, Dawn, Day) should I pick up?

Fuck you, fuck your fuckin' friend, and fuck this movie

Pick up all.

All three should be pretty cheap nowadays, so get them. Dawn is the best though, zombies, shopping mall and Tom Savini's bikers.

Night and Dawn without a doubt. Dawn of the Dead is especially worthwhile because Anchor Bay released a huge special edition for it awhile back that is about as comprehensive as it gets for this kind of thing. It features all the various offical cuts of the movie, two documentaries, multiple commentaries.

 

[VistraNorrez]

Day has the best FX though, and probably the best acting actually(or atleast the most interesting). Howard Sherman, Richard Liberty, and Joe Pilato just own it up.

 

[shantyman]

Hope no one saw this before the edit. I have a posting problem.

Anyway, the original NOTLD is one of my favorite flicks, but this movie does not look interesting to me in any way. I'll probably see it out of a sad sense of devotion, only to be disappointed.

And yes, Day of the Dead sucked.

 

[bob_arctor]

Day Of The Dead is fine, not as good as the 1st two (Dawn's a masterpiece imo) but no way is it awful or somehow a blight to the series.

 

[UltimateMarioMan]

The trailer is obviously made to trick the Dawn 2004 fans into thinking its like that. ITS A TRAP! :lol

 

[DarienA]

Cool trailer... funny that they used the song Marilyn Manson composed for RE in the trailer... at least I think I remember him saying he composed it for RE.... Seizure Of Power I think it's called....

[Tedesco!]

Day of the Dead sucked.

No, no it didn't. It didn't focus on zombie action the whole time, which is why I think it's the most under-appreciated of the three, but it is in no ways a bad movie. It suffered from studio interference, but it still holds up as a good horror movie.

Your view is flawed. I forgive you.

Not hardly you fucking moron. The trailer looks like absolute ASS to hardcore Romero fans... it looks NOTHING like his kind of film. Now does that mean the actual movie is going to suck? NO! But the trailer is horrible, horrible shit.

 

[Tedesco!]

Perhaps, but keep in mind that it has been 20 years since Romero last made a zombie flick. A lot has changed since then. I am a hardcore Romero fan, and I think the trailer looks just fine.

I think it's a little foolish to really base an opinion on a trailer. It's edited in such a way to attract people to the film, so the music may or may not be in the final print. I don't see any running zombies. Those are more likely to be humans rather than jogging flesh eaters.

Seriously, let's just calm down and be thankful that Romero is even putting out a zombie movie.

 

[Minotauro]

It doesn't look like Romero's kind of film? Shit, some of those shots look exactly like The Dark Half.

Also, I want to go on record saying my favorite of the original trilogy is Day. There isn't enough gore in Night and Dawn really hasn't aged well.

 

[The Bookerman]

Asia looks hot, but why the RE music? yuck if anything we want to distance this movie from the RE movie

Especially when ROMERO was ATTACHED to the original resident evil movie, until they ditch his script.
