There's A New DAY OF THE DEAD Remake Poster Online...
Merrick here...
The poster for the remake of George Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD is online over at impwards.
If you've seen the film's trailer (you can find the trailer HERE), you probably feel like this project is cool only by virtue of Ving Rhames. From where I'm sitting, that's a pretty fair assessment.
CLICK HERE...
...to see the poster for this remake, which is directed by Steve Miner (HALLOWEEN H20, LAKE PLACID, and FRIDAY THE 13th Parts 2 and 3). I believe this title is straight to DVD.

This is probably the closest I will get to this crap

Shit sticks to you.

...with the vegetarian zombies that drive cars?
-
Hear it's ludicrously SHITE!
and that poster continues the grimy Sepia look of shit like Hills have Eyes Again and Texas Chainsaw Revisited which were both unnecisary shit! -
because we only give it power and web presence.
-
Just saw the jacket cover on Digital Bits, its coming to DVD in a few weeks I think.
I will rent it to see it and make my own judgement of it. Some people are really picky about remakes, especially of Romero, which to me is a overated hack. His movies werent scarey at all, they were almost pitiful looking, plus his movies never have any consistency to them, even thought they are all supposed to be this one big zombie universe.. one minute they are slow and blue and the next they are fast and then they are slow. Sorry, just think George is a bit over hyped.
-
Was pretty funny.
-
Where are all the Gargoyle movies?
-
has anyone seen the remake of Brian DePalma's Sisters? It hit direct to DVD a couple of weeks ago, and at least has an interesting cast ( Stephen Rea, Chloe Sevigny ). I saw the original in the theater on its first run, fucked me up good, and made me a Brian DePalma fan for life. GREAT Herrmann score.
-
He brought Micheal Back with H20, and made the fine Lake Placid. WHA THE FUCK??????
-
I remember seeing the trailer for this like a year ago at least. Also I feel like PlasmaOrb you are mixing up your zombie movies. Romeo didn't direct every zombie movie ever. Just Night/Dawn/Day/Land. And in all those the zombies are slow, just in Land they kind of communicate with each other. Granted I am not the biggest fan of his either, i just feel like you are attaching his name to everything, he didn't direct the re-makes. Plus you have to understand that when Night came out, you probably weren't even swimming around in your fathers nut sac yet.

Hollywood is an embarrassment.

This is supposed to be fucking atrocious.
by the gospel according to bastardface
And didn't it come out like 2 years ago.
-
The show is All That and yes we do it all the.. time." I will only ever view Nick Cannon as the final nail in the coffin for that series. This looks too boring to even be enjoyably bad.. sort of like AVP: Requiem. Actually.. exactly like AVP: Requiem. I'm surprised this isn't going to theaters when that did. That didn't even have any recognizable actors.
-
I downloaded this movie off of a torrent site not so long ago. Me and my wife laughed throughout, it was pure comedy gold. It was so bad, it was fun to watch. It should have been called Return of the Living Dead 4, though. As it is, the title pisses all over Romero's classic and that, people, is no laughing matter.
-
I'll probably know who Nick Cannon is when I've had a cup of coffee and then have an opinion of the person as well, but that character makes Jar-Jar look like Hannibal King from Blade Trinity. I am so fucking tired of dumbass OLD ASS white people jokes. And why is this film that has nothing to do with the original bare its name AND look like every bit of Zombie Action goes down AT NIGHT???!?!?!?!!!!??!!? Holy single white females throwing spiked heels into my eyes while emaciated chinchillas slowly devour my from the toes up BATMAN!!! How do you fuck that up? I've heard of day for night shooting, but NIGHT FOR DAY??? Is this some new shit I get to put up with from the digital generation? And Steve Miner... why man... WHY????????

Sorry for the double post. While I'm here, I'll just say that Ving would have rocked as Capt. Rhodes underground. But... actually its not even worth bitching anymore about this film. Fuck it. Don't see it. Let it bomb so hard that time and space distort and the producers and screenwriter get a mysterious bitch slap in the past when and each time they came up with something to fuck this remake over with. I'm out. Peace.
-
... that they can salvage some coin at blockbuster. i've worked at one and i'll tell you exactly what happened and what will happen. this piece of shit was expensive enough to go to theaters but didn't because it was that much of a studio embarassment. that's something in a market where 1 missed call gets a wide release. anyway, they'll wait for some week where nothing else is coming out on video and then they'll put half a wall's worth of copies up so stupid people will think "if there's that many copies, it must be good." then, more and more stupid people rent it. then they're out of the rentals, more stupid people say "wow, they're out. it must be a really good movie. let's go home and masturbate and call every hour until there are more copies." and that's it. lambs-to-the-slaughter marketing.
-
Heartbreakingly, coming from Steve Miner, who made the vindicables "House", "Lake Placid" and "H20", this is utter crap. More than likely to end as the worst movie I've seen this year. Seriously.
-
the zombies not only run but they also can jump really far and they can crawl on walls and ceilings...the story is non-existent and the acting is pretty bad. there are some good effects and some terrrrrible effects. if you can watch it with the intention to laugh at how ridiculous it is, you might be able to have a good time. don't expect anything of any quality though. Ving does NOT save the movie except for when he starts barking...that's pretty funny.
-
And Friday the 13th part 2 & 3D! It's just sad. Oh right, I'm not here.
-
does he still not realize that after all the shit films he has made that he still gets a lot of respect from us? Imagine if he actually decided to cool things down and actually take some time to pick and choose his roles wisely. The guy could be the next Samuel L. Jackson in terms of badassery. Well maybe not... but close.
-
he was fun in dawn of the dead remake...but in day of the dead he looked like he didn't want to be making the movie.
-
has roughly 4 mins of screen time. i read a review of this a year ago. unless they had george romero himself come back, reshoot the whole thing with action figures, adr the whole thing with farts and a synthesizer, and make the poster from fingerpaints, i refuse to see it. well, at least pay for it.
-
So says I. Nothing has changed since last May when I reviewed it for this site.

Let it die on the shelves at blockbuster. -
This poster is actually pretty decent. If I didn't know that this movie was already a cauldron of bubbling shit I might be half way interested to see it. I will say that the poster is a lot better then the "vomiting zombie" that will adorn the DVD. Yeah....vomiting zombie.
-
I'm in Iraq right now and I was able to pick up a copy at a local Hajii shop. All I can say is, wow.
I'm a huge Romero fan loved Dawn more than Day. I enjoyed Snyder's version of Dawn. Well here they took what he accomplished with Dawn and flushed it...
I recall one zombie climbing on the ceiling like our favorite webhead... humans die slowly from the virus but once they're dead, they turn into decayed zombies faster than 28 Days... just awful... don't even watch this shit. -
This is going to be a steaming pile of dog shit. Romero deserves to use Miner for target practice.

i was getting tired of all these new zombie movies with all these new zombie ideas. i dont see much social commentary in that.
-
And don't see this pile of garbage. If you want a good to great zombie movie, see Diary of the Dead. It's an actual Romero film filled with zombie goodness.
-
it was pretty enjoyable in a cheesy action way. Sure the undercranking was annoying but besides that the zombies were vicious as hell and there were some cool gore moments. Yeah Nick Cannon gets it pretty good at the end. Full review on the site: http://tinyurl.com/pv8do

Let's not say things we'll regret...
-
seriously though, Mena Suvari AND Nick Cannon as the headlining cast? I've REALLY gotta see who the "Supporting" cast is.

you can hate the remake, but lets not pretend DAY is anyone's fa
by wickedjacob
Actually, DAY is begging for a good remake. Its got some of the most innovative ideas but unfortunately fails in its execution. Even Romero has said he didn't have the resources to do it like he really wanted. In a lot of ways, CITY was a remake and extension of a lot of DAY's ideas, but I think of all of Romero's movies, DAY is the one that has always needed a good remake -- though I'd love to see Romero remake it himself.
-
thats what I meant to say
-
couldn't get the funding needed for his original script, which actually involved a large part above ground. But with the limited funds he had to cut it. The studios STILL don't give Romero the respect he deserves.
-
you have to give absolute respect to those opening scenes of the deserted trashed streets, with money and newspapers blowing around, and the zombies coming out of 'slumber' and then rising to the moaning, shuffling mob.
for that scene alone, we need a big budget, quality remake. -
...holy moly! That looks like possibly the worst thing ever. No, I mean, seriously! And how is it even remotely a remake of the original?
-
since Ving was in it. Is he gonna get medieval on the undead?
-
I agree that Day isn't my favorite Romero film, but I can't say that I've ever watched it and felt that it screamed for a remake. I feel that the film stands on its own quite well and I don't need to see it remade with a bigger budget. I'd rather see new films rather than constant remakes. World War Z would be nice.
-
and I live in Germany!WTF?Was that shit not released 3 month ago?
-
...it needed to be airbrushed from history. and sandblasted from my consciousness, forever. although i'd love to watch a john amplas film festival, with his one great role (_martin_!) and every one of his abysmal subsequent performances (e.g. dr. numbnutz in _day_: "out of the frying pan, into the fire!" tell me about it, dr. numbnutz!!) sign me up for the "poor ving rhames" choir, also. i wish they'd re-make _patty hearst_ -- he could play william randolph hearst this time. and i'm pretty sure the "_day_ remake" fanboy nation here is referencing is the oh-so-long-wished-for sequel, _day of the dead 2: contagium_, that also (what were the chances?) went straight to dvd. disgusting topics. i'm so ashamed, as steve, ving and all you all should be. i'm going to curl up in a ball and cry now, until hillary becomes president. then, i'll cry some more...
-
...downloaded it MONTHS ago. Guess what the directors technique for making the zombies scary is...FAST MOTION!!! He speeds up the movement while telling the actors to flail around crazily. And NO...it's NOT a sequel to the Dawn remake!!! It has NOTHING to do with any other zombie movie and these people are more 28 days later zombies than Romero zombies. They aren't decayed, the decease does that to their flesh. ALL HONESTY...this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
-
Why oh why?
-
What exactly are you talking about? 'Consistency'? In all of Romero's movies the zombie were slow moving. In 28 Days & Weeks Later and the DOTD remake, the zombies were fast moving. And G.A.R did way better than you ever could with a miniscule budget and limited resources. By todays standards, of course the films have dated and do not have the impact they once did - but if you were around when these fims were made, maybe you'd think differently. I know you're entitled to your opinion, and if you don't dig the films, fair enough. But calling a legendary filmmaker like Romero a hack is just bullshit. What has been your contribution to cinema? Oh yeah - this Day remake looks crap. Peace.
-
dude invented the genre everyone has built upon. he's such a hack. he invented an entire concept. if you look at an old model t now, sure, it's a rickety piece of shit, but it's the basis of every car you've driven.
-
i went through a zombie phase, where i loved zombie culture, zombie movies, and zombie video games(dead rising was awesome).. then land of the dead; diary of the dead; and the day of the dead remake effectively made me dislike the zombie genre..thanks guys!
-
if you haven't already...it WILL reinvigorate your love for zombies.
-
...just for the final word on this. Romero is CERTAINLY not a hack. If you think this, you are simply wrong. Get past it.
-
I can not keep up.
-
Just said that his original movies were crap... i enjoyed the remakes of his movies more so than the originals.
I would be more scared of a chinese guy with one arm chasing after me than a zombie that walks around like anna nicole after her lawyer boyfriend drugged her up for the night -
I'm a huge fan of zombie movies so I found this movie on the interweb and watched it a few weeks ago. Let me just say that this movie is terrible. The acting is so bad that it's funny.
Nick Cannon becomes a bow wielding super zombie killer half way throught the film and Mina Suvari does the worst job acting like a soldier since... well, probably the first Day of the Dead came out.
However, this movie has very interesting zombies in it. They are fast. They set up traps. They ambush people. They kick ass but they're wasted in this movie.
If you're a die hard zombie fan and can put up with terrible acting a piss poor plot then this is probably worth renting but otherwise, stay away from it. -
The original was just too silly. Yes, even for a zombie movie. The soldiers were bumbling idiots and the scientists experimenting on the zombies acted just like that alien doctor Phlox from the Enterprise show. I would have liked to have seen a really scary ass scientist with a real zombie chamber of horrors. The gore was pretty good though.
-
But zombies should not be running, jumping, scaling walls, setting up traps, or ambushing people. They rise from the dead and shuffle along in a mass of living dead for the sole purpose feasting on the flesh of the living.
-
Were freaking awesome. Pvt. Steel was the man.
-
Who the fuck is Nick Cannon?
-
How many shit horror movies have we all seen piling up at blockbusters taht have almost the same cover art. I wouldnt piss on this if it was on fire.
-
If Lucas and Spielberg (who say whatever you want about them, know 'visual shit') are incapable of making a cover that looked any different from any other one all the way back from Last Crusade through the Prequels to the new Indy, how can we expect some poor struggling hacks who've had one Photoshop class to have any more originality?
-
...which shit all over the awesome original "Gone With the Wind" style cover from Empire Strikes Back in favor of the stunning...."heads looking into or slightly off-camera" motif.
-
The scariness of zombies stems from two truths: 1) Their numbers. They're everywhere. 2) They're you're family, friends and nieghbors. Running zombies are not zombies. They're just fucking stupid.
-
Except for the title, and the presence of one slighlty less stupid zombie, this looks like a completely new concept. This looks pretty terrible. Nick Cannon does not belong in any form of media, especially not something with the potential to be at least a little cool.
-
...apparently the screenwriter didn't intend to remake DAY of the DEAD, but the studio slapped the name on it and changed a few elements (the "Bub" dude who's now named "bud", the underground complex) to make it into a remake...any way you slice it this things a fuckin' leeeeeemon.
-
...oh yeah, another reason this movie sucks. There is a zombie (a military dude named BUD) that gets bit, but doesn't want to eat people because he was a vegetarian in his former life.He spends the rest of the movie looking like a sad confused zombie until the other one's rip his head off.I'm sorry I can't stop...this movie was BEYOND fucking awful. I mean, there are truly original and compelling ideas out there and THIS get's made?!?! JEBUS!
-
...for me the thing that made zombies truly scary was that they represent your own mortality. They are quite literally death shuffling its way towards you. Romero was brilliant! READ WORLD WAR Z!!!!
-
Read it.
-
I concur. Humans have always been fascinated with death. And I think part of our infatuation with them (as well as vampyres and such) is because a part of everyone wants to escape death. And that's what zombies do.
-
eh. ick. yuck.
dumb-ola -
I've blackouted drunk a lot in my day but I'm pretty sure that I have a perfect record of non-human flesh eating and I'm sure (I hope) I would chow down on the living with the best of them. What a stupid plot point.
-
It blows and has been on p2p forever. I'd like to have Tyler Bates' score though. It's awesome as usual.
-
The line of blood dropping from his tooth suggests that the zombie is totally motionless for at least seconds or even minutes but other drops are exploding all around him in a wild frenzy... ?? just weird to look at.
-
i have seen this movie. i can hear your sighs of remorse already. dont go see it, dont rent it, if a friend talks about seeing it punch them in the face and then run away. i hate to say it like this, but nic cannon was purely a negro. the way he talked walked acted was like any hiphip rapper would do in a music video. mena suvari...i dont know how they picked her to lead this movie, but she needs to keep her hat on to hide that huge forehead of hers. "bud" the vegan zombie...words cant describe. ving plays no relation to his previous character in the series and the only thing he adds to the movie is him eating his own eyeball. save yourselves from this one at all costs. you're better off watching In the name of the king:a dungeon seige tale
-
but this shit looks spectacularly awful. they have a fucking pet zombie? really??
-
Before I watch this, based on what I've heard.
-
with a dildo made of rebar. World War Z was interesting (especially the soldier story) and is being made as we speak (I think by Brad Pitt's production company). Zombie's don't run. I like Romero, but Diary Of The Dead was not great.
-
I just finished it yesterday and it's one of the five greatest video games I've ever played.
-
yes this is truly worth reading if you enjoy GOOD zombie stories of any kind. World War Z is great...now i'm reading the zombie survival guide by max brooks...same guy who wrote WWZ...not as good but fun nonetheless
-
Sorry, I can't agree with any hate for the film. It had classic Romero zombies, great gore, cool zombie/human kills, the awesome Amish guy with dynamite and a scyth, the militant black dudes, the professor with the bow & arrow and TITS. All around, the movie was fucking great.

-
It was a great entry in the franchise. Only Romero could put a fresh spin on a tired genre like that. Fuck CLoverfield. Diary is going on my shelf the day it's released.
-
thanks for reminding me, i loved the zombie survival guide, and i know the guy who wrote world war Z did that too, so ive been meaning to pick it up. i think ill give it a chance this weekend.
-
okay, i would love to believe that the 'message' of this film got blatantly pounded into the viewers head, because the whole concept was that it was a student film, and thats how a real student film would be, but i just dont know if i can give george that much credit lately.
-
It's only because Romero understands modern audiences are stupid fucks who need things to be laid out clearly for them. It doesn't undermine the rest of the film, which was done well.
-
i think he meant to have a message in night. then just figured a mall would be a cool setting for dawn. when everyone said it was all about consumerism, it went to his head. then he tried too hard to force social commentary in day, land, and diary.
-
thanx to torrents i've already seen this ok movie. first of all it's nothing like the original which is great cuz nothing can compare to it. this movie should have been given a different name. i didn't even recognize rhames. he plays rhodes who you'll remember gets torn apart by zombies in the original. rhodes was an ass in the original. in this one he's hardly even a character. just some military guy who is just doing his job and he isn't an ass. bub is in this movie is just some soldier guy in love with mena suvari. he gets bitten and then turns into a zombie, only he won't eat flesh cuz he was a vegeterian in life. stupid stupid stupid. there's nothing in this movie that even makes you remember something from the original. just watch it as if it was a completely different zombie movie with a different title. alot of the movie takes place in a hospital, part of a radio station and then some underground lab.
-
Night was the film that didn't originally have a message. Everyone involved just wanted to make a scary movie. Then people noticed the commentary and he thought a play on consumerism would work. LAND was really the only film with hardcore commentary written into the script. It basically screamed "Hey! Look! We're actually talking about Iraq!"
-
I liked the elements mentioned. The deaf Amish guy was hilarious, the opening scene with the news footage was gold, but it just didn't hold up. The cliched drunk British professor was laughable, and whereas in Cloverfield I never once questioned the believability of the guy doing the camera work, every ten minutes or so of Diary I was like "why is this guy still filming this?" It was alright, but it was not great.
-
And I for one don't call a sharp object in the hands of an African-American a "spear". That's racist!
-
Can not wait. I'm gonna put it right next too "Roll Bounce" and "Goal 2: Living the Dream" when comes out straight to dvd. I mean blu ray.
-
...there's one scene where all the surviving members are walking, including the douche bag doctor you just KNOW is gonna die soon.While walking down a hallway the doctor, who's in back, is grabed by the head and pulled into a ventilation shaft whisper quiet so no one notices.10 second later his evicerated body flies from off camera with a thud....SPEND NO MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!
-
The only book I've read straight through. That's not a sarcastic knock either. It was so damn compelling. Took me like 20 hours. I was terrified, but I couldn't stop. That Max Brooks is a genius, must be in the blood. Fans of the book, I'd say check out the audio version too. It's abridged, but still lengthy and read by a GREAT cast (Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Henry Rollings, Carl Reiner, etc)...DO IT!
-
No, no, no no no no no!!!!!! Why the FUCK are you giving this crap the fucking oxygen of publicity? I have seen many bad films in my life, and watch them for comedy value mostly, but this is a fucking insult, and rates, bar none, as THE WORST FUCKING FILM EVER! I'm not even going to bother ranting on about it, except to say that i saw it about 2 months ago, and was absolutely disgusted at how shite it was. You're fuckin' warned!!
-
If you want to feed your "drive-in-Joe Bob Briggs" jones with a fun little Z-movie you could do worse than Flight Of The Living Dead. Its got a great C level cast with Steve Sommers fav Kevin J O'Connor as, what else, a smart ass con man, gone-to-seed hunk Richard Tyson, and many more..Just don't spend more than 99 cents in the bargain rental bin.
