The trailer isn't put together that well (terrible score), but I think the movie will be fun. It doesn't look like it will be on par with the Dawn remake though, from what I can see.

Trout 10-25-06 08:23 AM

I can't wait for the remake of Land of the dead.

Groucho 10-25-06 08:32 AM

Looks nothing like the original. Where's Bub?

Only saving grace: I used to live in Leadville, Colorado and look forward to seeing my former neighbors turned into zombies.

It's a re-telling (is that a word?) more than a remake.

Bareit 10-25-06 07:49 PM

Oh my God. It does look like a Sci-fi original picture. It doesn't even look to take place after the events of "Dawn of the Dead".

Rockmjd23 10-25-06 07:49 PM

Soooo terrible. Nick Cannon? :lol:

Geofferson 10-26-06 12:03 PM

Wow, that looks bad.

RyoHazuki 10-26-06 01:12 PM

"Its a bad day to be a zombie."


That had better be on the poster.

Giantrobo 10-27-06 07:55 AM

That trailer looked ok. Hey, a marginal Living Dead flick is better than NO Living Dead flicks.

Frankly, the original "Day" was shitty so I feel no loyalty to the storyline. Hopefully this one will deliver.

I agree with this. The trailer showed A LOT of the movie too. That's usually a bad sign any way you spin it. It looks like this movie is going to show the origin of the outbreak. The scientists or whatever are responsible based on a quote. Maybe not... I'm skeptical and hope it's just a bad internet trailer.

Goldblum 10-27-06 04:03 PM

That was terrible. I have never been so bored watching a trailer. It does look like a made for TV movie. I won't write the movie off yet, but that trailer better be a very poor showing of the whole film.

Agreed that the original Day of the Dead was nothing special, but this one looks crappy in a different way. Also, what is the deal with Ving Rhames character? Is he playing someone different from his character in Dawn?

The only thing funnier than Denise Richards as a rocket scientist is Mena Suvari as a Corporal in the Army.

it doesn't look too great but I'll end up seeing it I'm sure.

fixed. :)

Gizmo 10-28-06 12:07 PM

Ugh. So they have military and scientists and call it a remake of Day of the Dead. Thats it. Bub *is* there but its just their stupid friend that gets bit and lives off vegetables or some shit.

Sanitarium 10-29-06 09:51 PM

Looks like a pile of shit. Man, I was hoping Zack Snyder and crew were going to do this because the Dawn of the Dead remake is one the best remakes I've ever seen, I love that movie. But this, Uwe Boll could have just as well directed it.

Celpacius 10-29-06 09:58 PM

Oh my god that looks like garbage.

Funny 'cause it's true.

Don't hold your breath for this one being any good at all. The trailer is flat out horrible if you ask me:

I read on the imdb message boards that the whole "worldwide epidemic" plotline was shitcanned for simple small town outbreak. Looks like everyone in this "remake" is in it for the paycheck and has no interest in outdoing the original.

rexinnih 11-06-06 09:27 AM

Dissapointing. Loses the dread of the worldwide zombie epidemic goes for "action remake."

maingon 11-06-06 07:38 PM

I was hoping they would go with worldwide zombie epidemic not the small town thing. Looks crappy

dhmac 11-08-06 07:05 PM

Looks pretty shitastic.

(What a blown opportunity)

I'm resurrecting this old thread to give out this link to an Ain't It Cool News review of what looks to be the finished version of this film: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32568. Beware of massive spoilers. It looks to be about as good as people expected, which is to say not good at all. The character of Bud looks particularly awful.

Seantn 05-07-07 08:46 PM

That review is pretty funny.

"When there is no more room in hell, the dead will drive the earth".

So yes, the dead zombies run, jump out of the way when you attack them, and DRIVE CARS! And the vegetarian ones don't eat people! Interesting stuff.

You know, typical Japanese stuff. :D

Yeah that sounds great, but mosaic censoring of zombie sex organs = no sale :grunt:
