November 21, 2002 — Diane Lane is currently being considered to have a starring role in the film, although no one has officially joined the cast.

Writer, James Gunn, talked with Cinescape magazine about the film and here's some of what he said:

 I took the central concept, which is people stuck in a mall during an apocalypse of flesh-eating corpses. Other than that, its a lot different. I think that the original DAWN OF THE DEAD worked perfectly with the themes that it was working with, and theres no reason to do the same movie in that way. So what I was really interested in doing was creating a small society. Theres more people in my mall.
