Tony Todd to star in GAR sequel to dawn?

[DjfunkmasterG]

Hell I would kill to direct this... Not to piss on George or anything, just to make sure the vibe of the original film isn't tarnished. It may be a long shot, **** it is a huge long shot, but I asked my agent to contact them and put me on the list... used my teaser for Trapped as my demo reel.

This is all that is said about the movie in that article. And, from that, all you people get "oh, it's bound to suck". This is what I read in the original article: "Rubinstein also has plans to create a direct sequel to the original DAWN(!)" And given his recent track record as producer and Dead licensor, yes, I know it will suck.

I doubt Gaylen Ross could pull off being a pregnant woman at 58 - no matter how good she looks for her age. I must have missed the part where it says she is pregnant?

[Kaos]

She is pregnant with Stephen's baby at the end of Dawn. If this movie takes place right after the end of the original Dawn then she is about ready to burst.

[UndeadGuyX]

I must have missed the part where it says she is pregnant? The hell? You skip over all of Fran's parts in the original DotD?

Wow, another GAR ripoff. I was convinced there'd never be a sequel to Dawn. Don't know about that 'Candyman' guy I'd be more inclined to see it if GAR was at least involved in its production, and the studio convinced Ross and Foree to appear in starring parts. It would be tricky though, since its been thirty years. Maybe use the younger actors for flashbacks? Dawn of the Dead + 30 years? Would that actually be 'Twilight of the Dead'? Maybe George should get involved so it doesn't get all ****ed up. Flashbacks in movies = NO... as you said, tricky considering it's been thirty years - the timeline in this universe is already skewed because of Land and Diary, this would totally throw it into disarray. Don't you think Twilight of the Dead is the worst possible title for a movie ever? I mean it sounds like a student attempt at a dead movie....(ie: night 3d haha)

I mean it sounds like a student attempt at a dead movie....(ie: night 3d haha) Ha, I just watched a student attempted dead movie last night (Diary)! After that, I would like to see GAR redeem himself. Let him go back to his roots, forget about his recent efforts...use the original Peter and Fran thirty years later, (post-Day') with younger actors to reinact what happened after they left the mall. I guess Twilight' is a bad title . Wishful thinking, I'm sure this will develop into another ****ty ripoff.

I just donn't believe anything can be brought to a dead movie by bringing back characters in that manner...Peter and Fran were part of one segment of the timeline, and the theme of the movies is that the only aspect of continuity are the zombies.... As for flashbacks....certainly suits some types of movie, but Romero has a very real edge to his stuff, and flashbacks might sort of break that realism... I've still to see Diary though....my eternal laziness has kept me from it. One thing's for sure, I'm not convinced by a supposedly amatuer movie shot on HD cameras....either go for gritty realism or polished cinematography.... but I'm prejudging and digressing....

I see your point. But, I figure if he was willing to take a chance with kids running around with hand-held camera...then maybe he'd be willing to say "what the hell" with a sequel.

you are going to watch the movie whether you like it or not so quit bein loud and deal with it. its a zombie movie at least it will be better than night of the dead... thats a stink fest right there

If there is anyone that I feel can handle such a project and respect the source material, it's you. You know....as long as you don't make the dead run.

[EvilNed]

Am I the only one who's more worried about it being a "good movie" rather than being "true to the original"?

Some might say the two are one in the same. you are going to watch the movie whether you like it or not so quit bein loud and deal with it. its a zombie movie at least it will be better than night of the dead... thats a stink fest right there Nope, some of us are selective. For instance, I don't even know what the hell "Night of the Dead" is nor have I watched the Day' remake.

[capncnut]

Am I the only one who's more worried about it being a "good movie" rather than being "true to the original"? To be honest Ned, I don't give a s**t about the project whatsoever. It's just plain wrong, whoever directs it.

[ProfessorChaos]

(for the record, tony todd was an ace for notld90, supoib perfoimance) ...but the more i hear about this dawn sequel, the more worried i get....not to mention that it's gotta be one of the worst sequel ideas of all times. rubenstein is gonna burn in hell for this one.
