Land Of The Dead in October
According to Digitalbits, the Land Of The Dead DVD will be out on october 25th. Thats ironic because that was the original release date for the film. Land Of The Dead was flawed in many ways, but i really enjoyed the movie by its self, and as an entry into Romero "Dead" series. To bad people didn't come out in droves to see the flick during its short theater run. Here's to hoping it will do better on DVD, and more people will see it!

Unrated?
|
BRING IT ON!
|
Im positive we will get an 'Unrated' Version....maybe a 'Dead' boxset of some kind?
|
probably no boxset, as the rights to all three movies are spread hither and yon(always wanted to use that). I really didn't care for this movie, but I will probably end up getting it to round out the collection. I'm goofy like that.
|
I just hope Universal doesn't fuck up the DVD.
|
Now we know why they moved the theatrical date to summer.

Hopefully in the unrated cut, the Big Daddy character is completely edited out.
|
I passed on this in the theater but I will likely pick up the dvd, especially were they to do an unrated cut. I enjoy Zombies, but Romero's work has never done much for me.
|
Really? Romero IS the zombie movie? What Zombie movies did you enjoy if not the Romero movies?
I'll pick this up, the "unrated" material Romero has said is much, maybe 6 minutes, most likely character stuff (which is fine by me) This was definetely #4 ouf the 4 Romero Zombie movies, but it was a good flick. |
I thoroughly enjoyed this in the theatres. Finally, a true zombie film. Not some infection film trying to maquerade as one (DAWN04). The best thing about DAWN04 is that it gave me little hope that a decent zombie film could be made these days, and then Romero comes in with LAND! The only thing that would've made it better is the removal of Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo.
Anyways, I do hope that the DVD release is done right. But October is shaping up to be a real budget-buster... between LAND OF THE DEAD, HITCHCOCK boxset, and ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS boxset...oh boy. :) |
Really? Romero IS the zombie movie? What Zombie movies did you enjoy if not the Romero movies? I would probably put the original Dawn in my top 5 list though.... |
Missed it in theaters, but looking forward to the DVD.
|
I would even take House of the Dead over Day of the Dead. |

The zombies themselves have never been the focus of Romero's films; it's the conflicts between people, the moral dichotomy between cooperation and selfishness, that drive the plots of his movies. |

Cool a semi-Halloween release :) I still need to pick up that Dawn of the Dead box set that came out.
|
I really enjoyed this movie... I had low hopes, and I was surprised... Its not a great movie by any sense of the imagination, but for what it is, its not bad.

Oh no, not the Dawn 04 debate..I'll indulge in this a bit. I really liked Dawn 04, and thought that running zombies were a nice touch to up the ante. While I'll always like the slow walking zombies, I'm afraid that they don't hold the scares that they used to. When I saw Land, alot of the theater was laughing at the zombies... while I just shook my head. The tuba zombie, Big Daddy, these are not scary zombies, not when you can walk by them to get away. Anyway, I hope the unrated cut will improve this film a bit. |
There hasn't been any confirmation of an unrated cut yet has there?

Missed it at the theaters so this is a must for me. I love zombie movies....both good and bad.
|
I loved Land of the Dead, definite purchase for me
|
I'll be interested in hearing about an unrated version. I love the DEAD movies and was slightly disappointed in LotD. Maybe my expectations were too high... maybe some scenes reminded me of DofD (04).
|
I'm definitely going to pick this one up. I need to clear my zombie watching queue first though. I have Dawn of the Dead (original, European cut), Dawn of the Dead (original, extended cut), and Zombie 3, 4, and 5 (the Zombie Pack).
|
I was dissapointed by this and I won't be picking it up.
|
a masterpiece, best zombie film since Romero's Dawn (not a HUGE fan of Day). only Romero does zombies right (sure Fulci was entertaining as was ROTLD, but thats all it was, mindless fluff entertainment with nothing behind it).
i seen it 3 times so far and now its playing at the dollar movie so ill see it a few more. the DVD will be mine as well. i cant wait. |

Did I miss a third new Dead movie? I always thought the movies were the Night of the Living Dead, Dawn, Day, the new Dawn, and Land of the Dead. Could you clear this up for me? |
Official announcement from DVDANSWERS.COM
Title: Land of the Dead Starring: Simon Baker Released: 18th October 2005 SRP: $29.99 Further Details Universal has announced rated and unrated editions of George A. Romero's Land of the Dead which stars the likes of Simon Baker, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper and Asia Argento. Both discs will be available to own from the 18th October this year, and should retail at around $29.99 a piece. The rated edition (runtime 1 hour 33 minutes) will be available in full frame only, whereas the unrated edition (1 hour 37 minutes) will be presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Each will carry English Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 Surround tracks. Universal has yet to reveal the extra material, or the official artwork, for these titles I'm afraid, but we'll bring you further details very shortly. Stay tuned for that. FULL FRAME ONLY for the theatrical? LAME. Anyway, I'm very happy with the DTS track though! |
I thought the movie was only average, but I have to say, this had the most aggressive sound mix of any movie I've seen in the theater this year. Bring on DTS

The series goes: Night of the Living Dead (1968) Dawn of the Dead (1978) Day of the Dead (1985) Land Of the Dead (2005) Anything else does not "officially" belong and is a remake/re-cut or wannabe. |

Some of the wannabes are better than the "official" dead movies.
