January 12, 2004 — Wet N Wild Radio got to sit down with the director of the new Dawn of the Dead remake Zach Snyder.
Gary U. : Some fan's of the Original film feel a remake is not needed, while some fan's feel a remake is needed, What would you say to the Fan's who feel this remake was not needed?
Zach Snyder: Their right, a re-filming of the original story was not needed. We approached this in a fresh new way. GAR's original Film didnot need to be remade, we are telling another version of DAWN of the DEAD.
GU: Can you comment as to why your Zombies run as opposed to Romero's Shambling Zombies?
ZS: I felt the zombies needed to be a threat, and that threat is, you can't just walk right by them. In the Original film you would have been able to escape.. they were slow... I shot a scene were our hero's had to make a 25 yard dash to safety, if they were slow this would be an easy thing to do, with the fast mover's, you will see our hero's fight for every inch of that 25 yards. It's like swimming in an Ocean full of Shark's.
