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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
