they should call it 'Midday break with the Dead' or 'Coffe Time with the Dead' or 'Water Cooler Conversation with the Dead'

Night, Dawn, and Day have all been remade. In addition, some of the people involved with Night went back and shot some additional scenes giving the film a religious overtone.
Dawn has two semi-sequels at present -- Zombi 2 and Contagium -- with a third, more direct, sequel being planned.
Then there are the five or six Return of the Living Dead films which are set in a world where Night is a documentary about what happened after a chemical accident.
There've also been two short story collections set in the Dead world, including a piece by Stephen King.
And then there's Shaun of the Dead which has enough references to the Dead films that it could be considered an unofficial sequel.

There have also been at least three recent Night of the Living Dead comic book series: Escape of the Living Dead, Plague of the Living Dead, and Night of the Living Dead.

I am interested in seeing how this plays out.. I'm all for zombie movies. Some of them just don't live up.

And while they're at it, please make a sequel or a movie exactly along the lines of Dawn of the Dead 2004

Since we're talking about Living Dead/Zombie flicks there was a comic book called "Deadworld" years ago and supposedly George Clooney has(had?) the option for a film for this but clearly nothing has come of it.
The Rising by author Brian Keene is also being made.

If it sucks, the original still exists.
I do wish the same stories wern't being rehashed as much, though. I'd like to see the comic series "Walking Dead" made into a movie (or beter yet, an HBO series) or maybe "World War Z".
