    Perhaps but it won't be due to the effects or acting, imo. It will be because by today's standards it would be considered maddeningly slow paced and in today's adhd world audiences simply don't have the patience for that.

    They'd be busy finger fucking their cell phones the whole time.

    And it's wierd because hollywood has never been shy about about copying a successful formula.

    A little variety is all I'm asking. I love Dawn 04' but do they all have to be runner flicks?

    There hasn't been a decent, serious shambler film in a good while.

Think GAR has gone 2 Hollywood...what happen to the days where GAR was all bout sex, drugs and making movies? And givin' the man a long donkey dick of a middle finger!

    Psycho Remake? Daaaah,PISS ON THAT TURD passed off as a movie! But it is true that you could never remake the original DAWN in the exact formula. Audiences today just would not be able to sit thru it. In this day & age, that flick truly is from a different era. At best a low budget,uber independant studio might be capable of taking it on,with a writer/director who gives a shit,but with a very limited release,and it would only be appreciated by our kind of lot.

    But anyways,the bits and pics from AMC's 'The Walking Dead' really do look awesome! I now have something to actually look foward to this year after all.

    There are the folks who just can't stand seeing zombies running. I'm kind of in that camp, but if you look at the very first zombie in Night - the one in the cemetery chasing Barbara, he gets up to a pretty good jog. I'm keying our zombie behavior off of that film: Whether they're in a very languid state or they're on the attack, they'll move no faster than that first zombie in Night of the Living Dead.

    Have you seen the Zombie School video on AMC's site? It seems pretty clear that they're training them to be shamblers. The video even shows the FX guy using a clip of Hinzman in Night '68 as a model of zombie behavior.

    Eek! Hinzman was a bit messed up... It was like Romero hadn't quite worked out the rules? He moved very quickly and could even use tools to great effect! Not your averaege zombie!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
