Maybe this should have gone in the TV forum, but I thought it'd be more appropriate over here. Anyway, I saw this on a TiVo Showcase:

Or you can view it online:

It sounds like an interesting concept, just hope it doesn't cause a hord of people to show up late during the movie.

Yeah, especially with all the people:

A) Watching Final Destination on USA.
B) People watching the USA network.

And if you used the search function, there are already threads on this subject.

Nothing like a good Sunday afternoon .

It's fitting for a good ol' sunday afternoon Repost:

It was also mentioned in this thread:

And I still think my stab against USA was a fairly comical one.

Sorry, I'm in a shitty mood today.....actually, I did do a search but somehow overlooked it. But to be fair, the other two threads didn't mention anything about it being available online.

fixed.

It's been online for a while now. Well, atleast on the zombie army message board.

Good ol' promo's leaking out.

The link above isn't to the actual 10 minutes of footage, but to a "preview of USA's presentation of the first 10 minutes of Dawn of the Dead". It's a 30 second promo for the event.

Is it expected to change after the event to include the footage?


Also, the expected air time is between 10 and 10:30, so you don't have to watch Final Desitination starting at 8.

actually, they'll show it between 9 and 10

from the radio spots it's the last half hour/hour of the showing from 10-10:30

OK, I'll definitely say I'm pumped for this movie after watching that beginning.

That .. exceeding my expectations.

Has the same frentic "WTF?" beginning as the original and a lot of similar static shots.. looks cool.

that's the fastest Ive ever seen a Zombie run...

That was a horrible, horrible idea showing the first ten minutes ...now I'm hooked like a crack addict and can't get my "fix" until Friday.

So ... are they actually zombies or just highly diseased individuals?

well since they die then come back to life i would say zombies and not diseased

I kinda had to laugh at how that couple seemed to have slept through night of the living dead,only to wake up to the dawn of the dead lol

they didn't sleep, it was "date night"

I did not like it much, not much at all. I had high hopes for this too. I perfer slow zombies but I'm open to fast ones, but not superhuman ones like these. I still have every intention of seeing it friday, but my expectations are quite a bit lower now.

That was insanely cool. Can't wait to see it.

gotta agree, something was off, I will still see it, probably friday too, but I am a little less hyped...

Superhuman? I mean, they were running, but I can run that fast. And I would venture to say if I was dead and couldn't feel pain, ramming my ehad through doors and fist through windows would be at the top of my to do list.

Anyway, I lvoe Romero's shambling zombies, but that was a solid 10 minute beginning. Definately gonna go see this this weekend, and looks to be good. Also like that Sarah Polley too...

I'll give the new breed of faster,stronger zombies a look with this. Didn't look too bad to me.

But what was with the opening word, STRIKE?

Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Production Companies:
Strike Entertainment [us]

Guessing it was just the title card?

Also, on a side note, for some reason the beginning of Dawn of the Dead (1978) always felt a bit odd to me, kind of had the same feeling with this intro. There's a certain akwardness to it all since it just plunges in (to me at least). With the original, I saw it with no prior knowledge and having never seen Night of the Living Dead. As such, the entire apartment complex part threw me and gave me the exact sort of feel that the beginning of this flick has (2004), uncomfortable delight or some weird shit.
