Maybe the BD news page needs a separate tab marked 'Remakes' that we can skip at will?

Dude I really love the original. Really hope they dont make this as crappy as all the other romero remakes. Poor guy. God forbid they give him a real budget for a real movie we havent already fucking seen

I've never seen the original. Now I have to netflix this one.

yeah, i haven't seen the original either. that's one of the good things about remakes (i know so many people hate them). they inspire people (like myself) to go out and rent/buy the originals. i will definitely check out the original now. i hope the remake will be good.

I'm not a fan of this at all. Regardless if the original was decades ago, it's still a tired storyline. Infected population......Where have I seen this one before? hmmmmm How bout every freaking movie in the past 4 years. Ridiculous face out

I'm as excited as a squirl crushed by a bag of cow dung

djblack1313, from my expedience with people watching remakes, that doesn't seem to always be the case. Only dedicated horror buffs would get inspired to watch the originals. If anything, 1.) Most remakes are SO bad, they don't even have enough bang to inspire anybody to watch the originals. 2.) The casual horror fan would say, "I don't have to watch the original...the remake COUNTS!". 3.) For those who ARE inspired, you have a LOT of them, particularly the younger modern horror fans immediately bashing the older one for being, well.....OLD. "Why does it look like it took place in a time before I was born?! Why are there no CG explosions?! Why do the people look more realistic and don't look as beautiful as the chicks from The Hills?!".

Magna, I just love reading your comments! Keep me smiling, you're awesome.

magnaderalpha, good point. :)

Why do I have this feeling when this movie is released many so called horror fans will call it a rip off of 28 Days/Weeks Later?

Some of you are missing the point. If you think today’s youth is going to go out and rent the originals because a remake is coming about, you're wrong for the most part. I didn't know anyone in my high school graduating class (made up of about 70 seniors) that even knew there was an original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Dawn of the Dead". I went to go visit my hometown earlier this year and many kids thought "Prom Night" was one of the most original horror films in a long time... I'M NOT JOKING! When I told them it was: A) a remake and B) a shitty movie, they just gave me blank stares, as if I had just spoken in some kind of foreign dialect.

TheDeadMayTasteBad, i'm at a loss for words. it IS disturbing that they thout PN was original OR good! LOL. what a piece of crap that movie is,was and will always be.

Gah... lame... at least Romero is serving as executive producer. That's pretty awesome. So maybe there is SOME light at the end of the tunnel.

Brad Anderson is Stephen Speilberg compared to Breck Eisner... this is gonna suck!

Just for everyone else to know, not all high-school age kids are into the whole pg-13, watered down crappy remark phase. I know this due to the fact that I am only 15 and I appreciate the good old days of balls-out gore fests. Unfortunately, most kids my age are, I won't deny that. But, there is still some hope.

15? Good old days? Now I feel like I got one foot in the grave. LOL Bubba the Originals of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, The first 4 Friday's, Prom Night are all good starts. Know them, love them!

This is a good case in favor of remakes. The original is clever and fairly well done, but the budgetary constraints show in every frame, with the end result being a pretty good film that feels unfinished. With a decent budget this could've joined Martin and Dawn as Romero's best of the seventies.

DBlock, when I said "good old days", I wasn't referring to movies from my lifetime. I just meant any good old-school movie. Thank you for the support though. Those are all wonderful movies. That was my first ever comment on here and I needed it.

It's all good Bubba, welcome!
