What are you still waiting to see in a zombie film?

[Neil]

first off - welcome to HPOTD. there are a lot of good folks and interesting discussions/arguments. i hope you decide to stick around. your idea of a zulu dawn type flick is what i've always wanted to see. sort of a rorke's drift with zombies involved. a huge, grand, epic, last stand of a movie with michael ironside playing a dude so bad that his very scowl incinerates zombies in their tracks. Maybe get to see this in Yonkers in the World Way Z movie? Although it does appear we're getting runners rather than shamblers Can you imagine how expensive that part of the film will be? Might they omit it because of that?

Might they omit it because of that? we can hope neil, we can hope. it still won't have michael ironside incinerating zombies with his scowl though. and yeah, if they did yonkers like it is depicted in the book, it would cost a mint and a half to pull off.

Mind you, if you see the effects reals for The Walking Dead, you can see even a TV show can throw in background CGI zombies that are hard to tell from the real thing. So maybe it wouldn't be as hard we might imagine?

So maybe it wouldn't be as hard we might imagine? good point. only the ones shown up close need be totally "tricked out" in makeup. you could use something like the program employed in "the lord of the rings" films to generate massive armies that look completely convincing from a distance. though at the rate this film has progressed (granted i've not been following the latest news on it closely), we might be at our kids' high school graduations before this thing finally comes out. or is it closer to completion than it seems?d

Zombie jesus. The saviour comes back. He's hungry. That or a sequel to The Dead done by the same team with a bigger budget.

Zombie jesus. The saviour comes back. He's hungry. tagline: jesus is coming. this time with a taste for liver - your liver.
