see the first 10 minutes of dawn of the dead remake uncut on 3/15 on USA Network!
theres a big ad in usa today, that the USA network will show the first ten minutes of Dawn of The Dead, completly uncut sometime in between 9 and 10 pm during their showing of Final Destination 1 (also uncut with bleeping of the language). at the bottom, (of course) there is a big warning about the graphic violence and strong language as well.

Last I heard it was still looking for someone to help fund it. 
as for the first ten minutes... Been there, done that.
I must say that it wont really spoil much though. It will indeed get you pumped to want to see it. Intense stuff and it gets rolling from the get go.
Highlights of those scenes:
Though I am a little surprised. Unless I'm mistaken and the scene I remember comes in right after the first ten minutes, there is some boobs after the Bus scene.. hmm I suppose that is right after the first ten minutes.

I'll probably watch... this marketing technique worked for Super Troopers... I think it's a pretty decent idea. I planned on seeing this anyway though when it comes out.

Maybe a little early, but since it is Universal, do you think we'll see rated and unrated DVDs of this in the fall? If they had any inkling of this kind of movie's fanbase, I'm sure they're already planning it.

I... really, really like this idea.
Think of it; most (strictly commercial) movie beginnings are set to grab you, make sure you're paying attention for the next while. If it's an excellent first ten minutes, then there's nothing better than that to make you watch the rest.
Think of all those awful cookiecutter trailers that spoil too much of the film... they could vanish if there was more focus on a film's beginning in the advertising, like here.

Cool, I will be watching for it. I am a HUGE fan of the original film, and I really hope that the remake does the original some justice, although I can't help but be skeptical (how do you improve on perfection? 
)
