Day of the Dead 2 Pics:

[AssassinFromHell]

Hey, you all want conspiract theories... DAY REMAKE SEQUEL TO DAY 2!?!?!?! OR VICE VERSA!!! *insert smiley ****ting himself*

[kidgloves]

My god those pics look TERRIBLE Contagium written all over them. It just goes to show what little sense these people have if they don't realise that releasing pics like this will have a negative effect on the movie on the internet. # shakes head #

[DeadCentral]

Those look like pics from DAY 2... I am almost positive on that. Hey DEADCENTRAL do you still have any of the crap Jim "Elmer Fudd" Dudelson sent us when we did the contagium site. I swaer those are pics from COntagium. I still have EVERYTHING!! and these new pics ar NOT encouraging.... now all I need to see is a Ryder van somewhere in the background and I'll know for sure that this is: a remake-of-the-sequel-that's-also-a-prequel-that-wound-up-an-unofficial-sequel-and-is-being-remade-so-it's-an-original-remake. did you get all that?? I dunno...vegitarian zombies, 20 something cast, plotted to be a standalone rather than sequential, and now these lame-o pics of poorly done zombies in the SAME hospital setting as the worst Z film ever made ......it's a sad sad world ..... I don't think even Ving could bring this one to a respectable level.

We tend to pick apart Gar's dead films, in a loving way of course. For all their flaws and inconsistencies these next gen dead film makers seem hard pressed to do better. In my view that elevates gar's work even further.

In my view that elevates gar's work even further. yes, because the "next gen dead film makers" fail. (I'm referring to the remakes, not the good ones with original plots that have been made - and there ARE a few of those floating around out there)

It looks like they are wearing soldier uniforms of some sort (green shirts), but in the second photo, the one looks like blue scrubs or blue patient top. Maybe it is suppose to be a military base or military hospital? -Dawg

From seeing this, I don't doubt the connection possibility being made between this remake and Contagium.

[Maitreya]

What kills me is this: How the **** do the filmmakers not realize that Contagium sucked? I mean there's NO WAY you can't tell! I mean, when you do something badly, most of the time if you can review it you know it's bad... I'd imagine they'd just want to wash their hands of Contagium... What the **** is the world coming to?

from the IMDB forums : Did anyone else get this PM? by - Art-At-War 31 minutes ago (Thu Sep 14 2006 11:17:29) Ignore this User | Report Abuse -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm sending this to you directly because I don't want to start some long thread on IMDB, but I read your posts on the new DOTD remake and just wanted to give you props for making well thought out arguements. Check out www.fangoria.com tomorrow or Monday to read how Steve and I developed the script. I try to diplomatically state it in the article, but the "producers" that everyone's worried about had nothing to do with the script or project. Steve Miner was the driving force behind the film and fought tooth and nail to make a strong horror film...which I strived to deliver. We're both horror fans who respect George Romero's work...and we didn't want to tarnish it. But we didn't want to go the "Psycho" route and just remake the same movie with a bigger budget. Also, Ving Rhames signed on because he liked the script - it wasn't a nefarious plot to fool people. And when Ving wants to do your project, you don't turn him down. You're right about the two pics that look poorly lit. They were taken from a scene shot at a hospital where the "real" lighting was out because of the zombie attack and the emergency lighting is on...thus the harsh, greenish tint. Plus the scene has to be color corrected. I put that in the thread, but apparently people don't read them all. Anyway, I just wanted to drop you a note. If you hate the movie AFTER seeing it, feel free to let me know. I take constructive criticism very well. But I've seen the footage and a few scenes edited together and it looks great. Best, Jeffrey Reddick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weird. It's from a jeff-230 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489018/...hread/53698750

It's blatantly obvious they're going to say 'the footage is looking great!', you don't often hear 'jesus, this film is complete sh*t, why am I working on this slut?' (The director of Children of the Living Dead was a very rare - and entertaining - case though). Also, again with the "respect" these people have for GAR's work. If there really was respect for his work there wouldn't be this slew of GAR remakes out there now would there? It wouldn't be so bad if the remakes - and coming remakes - were good ... but they're just ass.

I will probably still go see it in theaters. Why not right? Gotta support the genre. We don't need another dry spell.

[sirjacktorrance]

i am sad. i will go to see the movie to support the zombie genre.but i don´t wanna go to see the movie. i don´t want to support remakes... what can i do??

[Fulcifan91]

DJ, i hope your not judging the film before you see it, just like the guys over at ZN about deadlands. Though I have doubts, I woun't bash it untill i've seen it. Will it be as big of a release as DAWN04?

A dry spell would be more productively and creatively original than anything we're getting at the moment...
