BARF!
Steve Miner To Direct "day Of The Dead" Remake! - Mark Warner - 07-13-2006
What I said on the OHMB:
Unlike the Dawn remake, this film has pretty much no chance of working out. Ving Rhames is awesome, but his casting in this film is way too gimmicky. They purposely cast him so they can link to the Dawn remake? How about actually making a sequel to that film instead of doing a stupid little link like this.
The fact that they\'re shooting in Bulgaria/Romania is also a bad sign. Unlike when Eli Roth shot Hostel there, this is just a sign of lazy filmmaking. Eli Roth took advantage of what Romania had to offer and went with it. He didn\'t try to fake that it was some place else. That\'s what I think the people behind this film are going to do. Film in Romania, but set it in America. It\'s not like when they shoot in Canada, because Canada is enough like the US in terms of how it looks that you can pull it off. Romania looks nothing like the US. Don\'t shoot in Romania if you\'re setting your film in the US.
Casting is good, but that\'s about it. I don\'t like the fact that Steve Miner is directing this. Yes, his Friday the 13th films were good, but other than that, he\'s made shit. Lake Placid and Halloween: H20, just to name a few. I didn\'t want Dawn to be remade, but they found the right guy for the job, got a great cast together, and they made a good remake. Likewise, this seems like it\'s going to have more in common with that horrible cash in known as Day of The Dead 2 than the Dawn remake or even the Night of The Living Dead remake.
If good word of mouth starts setting in about this, I\'ll probably go see it, but right now, it\'s on my Do Not Watch list for 2007.

Guys,
They remade Night, and Dawn so what did you expect?
It\'s like there making remakes and sequals at the same time.
I loved the Dawn remake, So I hope this will be good.
I am, A very big fan of all the movies, so I hope it\'s good.
I\'m sure will see a sequal to Land, soon. :thumbsup:

I never look at these movies as remakes, I look at them as different interpretations. I think it\'s kinda cool IMO. I never compare them to the originals, They will always be classics.

So is Ving Rhames playing the same character he was in the Dawn of the Dead remake? I don\'t know who Nick Cannon is, and maybe it will at least have awesome zombie makeup and effects.
