Another Day of the Dead Remake?
Director: George Romero Genre : Zombie Horror
Movie Section : Day of the Dead Movie
Was doing some snooping at the official Day of the Dead contagium site and came across an interesting post by one of the members that turned out to have some truth behind it and wanted to share it.
so, I was talk to a friend of mine who works in entertainment industry in hollywood. he works at same building as Taurus Ent. When he was in the cafe there was a man and woman talking about "Contagium" they said that "Universal" was going to buy the rigths and remake the movie with a script from Cavel and directed by Deddelsun.
Then something about this film just being shown internationally. When they left he asked the girl at counter who they where. She said that was writer and director of the new Day of Dead movie. MAybe they mean the film they shot will not be shown in US only overseas? I don't know.
Very interesting indeed, and the official response is as follows.
OK here it is .... there was an offer, but it WASNT Universal, another company to remain un-named, offered Jim and Ana international release IF they would rewrite it and re-shoot and they(the studio) would provide "stars" for the film... and of course retain the rights.... Jim and Ana said no thank you... Straight from Jim Dudelsons mouth, as I speak on the phone with him at this moment.
I think it is great that their is so much interest in the Day of the Dead.

Day of the Dead Remake in the Works
Source: Variety
May 25, 2005
Millennium Films, Taurus Entertainment and Emmett/Furla Films are developing a remake of George A. Romero's 1985 Day of the Dead, which will be financed and distributed through Millennium, says Variety.
The original film was set in a world overrun by pesky zombies bent on extracting a group of scientists and military personnel who have holed up in an underground bunker.
"Day" was a sequel to Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead and 1978 Dawn of the Dead.
Universal Pictures released a remake of "Dawn" last year, which grossed $102 million worldwide. Romero's "Land of the Dead" is set for a June 24 release.
