    That was part of it. The main reason why Savini couldn't play that role was ultimately because Universal didn't want him to. I'm not sure why, exactly, but it had something to do with his participation in the DAWN remake.

    I was under the impression that Universal only came on board towards the end of the production as a distributor, in much the same way as the Weinsteins on Diary of the Dead, and the movie was financed by Atmosphere Productions and Wild Bunch. According to IMDB that looks to be the case anyway.

    I don't know but I'd still love a Pilato cameo.

    Pilato

    It's a shame all the other movies are the property of someone else. It would be so easy to digitally insert previous characters in to a new shot. I bet somewhere in amongst a mountain of boxes somewhere will be footage of Pilato and his men, all kitted out, boarding some form of transport or walking as a group.

    With todays technology and ease of manipulation, it wouldn't be too hard to show the group depart for Florida in some sort of news footage that could be on a tv or even just a stop and watch moment for the new group if they were perhaps eyeing up an airport or passing a military base.

    I bet, that some clever monkey within these forums knows exactly what I am envisioning and could do the scene on their own computer.

    Alas, Romero owns nothing but Diary, so it won't ever happen.

    Don't like the old footage idea, I'd prefer pilato actually making a cameo.

    Well considering Sarah, John and McDermott also made it to an island, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Throw 'em all in. Just as long as Pilato kept in line with the Dawn cop character but swinging a few Rhodes-isms for cameo type grins.

    I think that would be a great idea.

    I'd still like to see Fisher from Day watching zombies drive a car in DC.
