The other day the Hollywood Reported confirmed this story that Producer Richard Rubinstein is planning a direct sequel to George A. Romero's legendary Dawn of the Dead, which ends with the survivors hopping in a helicopter and taking off to who knows where. We got the inside scoop this morning that star TONY TODD (Candyman, Final Destinations, Hatchet) is in talks to star in the sequel to the film, which told the story of four people's escape from an urban nightmare to a suburban one. They barricade themselves in a shopping mall and try to start new lives. Todd starred as Ben in Tom Savini's 1990 remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

Sweet! Bring it on. If Ken Foree does do Dawn of the Dead 2, he should play Peter again!

HELL-GEAR, not just Harrison, but Stallone with both Rocky Balboa and Rambo! From what I heard, those two movies got good reviews, and I'm hearing the new Indy movie kicks ass!! Longtime sequels aren't dead. I'd rather have longtime sequels than constant remakes. Thumbs up for ORIGINAL CONTIUITY!!!!

this sounds awesome but i think that continuality would be broken a shitload if it is supposed to take place right after DOTD because one day they look normal and the very next day they have aged like 40 years, but hey, lets see what they can do with this.

This is the best news to a zombie movie in a very long time. ^_^ I can't wait and hope the story does justice to the original Dawn.

Hahahah this is awesome. They should use the fan script I wrote when I was 14, in which Peter was living with Franny's son (Franny died in childbirth since they couldn't obtain good medical equipment). They roamed around the western part of the country, scavenging what they needed for resources/shelter/food, and pretty much just avoided the zombies (which, by this time, had largely died out as well). They eventually found another group of survivors who were carrying on Doc Frankenstein's work, and then all hell breaks loose. Strangely, Land actually had similar elements. I thought it was damn good when i was 14 anyway hahahah.

Hmmmm... interesting news... I wonder who will direct it. That would be amazing if Romero did. But probably not. I wonder what he thinks about this.

I'd rather see a sequel to Dawn of the Dead(2004).

There was nowhere to go with dawn2004 since everyone dies after the credits. No, there was no way out of that shit sandwich, lol. As for this, I'm still kind of against this.. but Tony Todd. That would be a great start to getting a great cast. But I'm really curious to see where they go with this story.

...........WTF!!! No he was good in the remake of Night, but not a sequel of the remake of dawn


Kaname Tousen
11:55pm, May 20, 2008

but yeah if he is in it this is the best news it's gotten because for a SEQUEL of a REMAKE which both of those terms usually equal as sucky horror

Tony Todd, fucking yeah! Hope they can bring back Ken Foree and if Romero directs it, it would be brilliant.

Correction? OOOOOOOPPPPPPPPS! Hahahah!

'Dawn of the Dead 2' is a ridiculous title when you think about it. This could be good, but I'm not really comforted by inclusion of Tony Todd. He's a bit like Lance Hendrickson in that he's up for doing anything. A sequel to the remake would be a better idea really, the time gap is going to be bizzare if it picks up straight after the original...

if it doesnt suck, then its good! Im all for it, hope its 70s style everything. It should be! They dont fly in the helicopter for 30years!

i just hope they do a good job in trying to bring the og dawn and the og day cause those were two kick ass zombie flicks by the zombie master so there is a lot to live up two but casting tony todd would be a good start
