Upodated: Read on to watch -- I'm not saying anything -- nothing at all, I'll let you be the judge for yourself (sigh). If you click here you can watch the trailer for Nu Image's remake of Day of the Dead, which was directed by Steven Miner, written by Jeffrey Reddick and stars Ving Rhames, Mena Suvari, Michael Welch, Annalynne McCord, Stark Sands, Nick Cannon and Christa Campbell. The original follows a group of scientists and military personnel holed up in an underground bunker because the world above is overrun with zombies. The lumbering flesheaters eventually find a way in and wreak havoc on the scientists who've been experimenting on their undead brethren.

I am sick to death (pun intended) of worthless remakes, sequels, prequels and Japanese movie ripoffs. I enjoyed the Dawn and Hills remakes tremendously but this is just getting silly. And now Hellraiser? Say it isn't so. Doesn't anyone have the balls to make ORIGINAL horror anymore? Bring on Hatchet. FUCK REMAKES, I'm DONE WITH THEM.

I don't think it looks that bad. And personally I don't think ALL of the remakes have been bad either. I just love horror... period. As long as it's not comical like that gawd awful Land of the Dead bullshit. Or that even worse Undead. UGH!

Costumes: Party City; Dialogue: Daytime Soaps; Story: Uwe Boll. Everyone must band together and vow to not pay to see this piece of crap.

Nick Cannon? What the fuck? This isn't even a remake...it's has nothing to do with what "Day of the Dead" was about. This is like a different account all together. There is no military base it seems, just a camp. Oh well, we'll all go see it anyway....but Nick Cannon? I'm sorry but he is NOT hilarious.

I thought they were making this as a sequel to the Dawn of the Dead remake, but Ving Rhames plays a new character? Oh, and the trailer sucked. More of the same and very lackluster.

Did'nt they already know about the zombie infestation in the original! Blow. Ving Rhames and nick cannon's career ender "if Nick Cannon had a career in the first place, drumroll blow. This movie looks so cheap it should of debut on Sci Fi Channel, Blow. "In my opinion" The only way to stop the movie industry from making shitty remakes " or remakes all together " is to make them suffer in the box office. Why don't they take what little money they have and make a movie where they slit their wrists and cry.

Holy crap...I just saw House of the Dead 2 on tv...it was so bad I was sucked in for 2 hours....but this Day of the Dead remake makes that look like Citizen Kane. I mean I expected bad, but this is unreal. For all of the folks who hated the DOTD remake...put that up against this turd and you might change your minds!

ok i can really... and i mean really safly say... i rather sit and watch every single uwe boll movie and return of the living dead part 4 and 5 then watch 5 minutes of this shit right here.. at least uwe is making films that arnt remakes...sure based on a video game but at least the fucking zombies dont fly... hell even house 2 was better.... damnit steve miner the man who gave jason the hockey mask he turned his back on true fans and hit romero in the face first day of the dead 2 now this shit... come on romero give us another dead flick so we will be safe for a short time just like with land...

You know, James Gunn and Zach Snyder got lucky. LUCKY! You can't remake Romero right unless you have all your cards lined up. And let's put it this way: There is no way Nick Cannon is in your perfect hand. FUCK THIS MOVIE! (I will avoid making a Uwe Boll reference because everyone else already has) ...But if I were to make a Uwe Boll reference, I'd say Burt Reynolds in Dungeon Seige is looking more promising, but not by much...

Well I have to admit that this isn't the "300" or "Sin City" kind of trailer and it didn't blew me away either, BUT this Day Remake doesn't NEARLY look that bad like all you guys make it. The camera is nice, the actors are ok and the zombies are looking great. They run, they even jump - maybe it isn't the classic slow moving-zombie-style, I know, but it worked in the Dawn Remake, which I think was a great "new kind of" zombie flick. I'm a big Romero Fan - I love the Dead Series(well who doesn't? :-) ), but I am also open minded and have no problem with that new kind of zombies. If it also got enough headshots, bites & plenty buckets of blood in it, I'm really looking forward for that one. Everyone can have it's own opinion about this remake, but to compare this trailer to Uwe Bowl's movies, which are kind of funny to watch because the acting, the story & the directing is so bad & lame, or even the latest Return of the Living Dead movies(which are an insult to every (zombie)movie fan because of their stupidity & fucked up actors - hell even house of the dead didn't sucked that much!), isn't a qualified comparsion.....in my personal opinion ;-)

Not all that bad. I like what Romero did but I do not feel he set some gold standard others must measure up to. This movie is obviously different than the original and I think that is good. Who wants to see a 2007 version of the exact same movie? It makes no sense. I say see it if you like zombie movies and do not feel you are selling out by seeing it.

Yeah this DEFINITELY has the markings of a "made for Sci-Fi Channel" movie. Lame young actors who are totally unbelievable in their roles, fast running zombies and cheesy effects reminding me of NOTLD4 + 5. I'm sorry but to believe that the girl from American Pie is a top officer in the Army is a joke.....i'm not even getting started on Nick Cannon. Judging from the trailer this is just a remake of the new Dawn movie where it goes back to the beginning of the outbreak. They should just call it Dawn of the Dead 2: Crap from the Grave.

They could of at least continued the time line from the last remake. I loved the remake, it scared me in a different way than romero's did(which scared me, no lie). I feel the scariest thing about the nu zombies is that they are so fast, it is almost impossible to get away from them. That was my biggest gripe against the remake of dawn, in the beginning, the husband zombie almost races down a mazda(or whatever kind of car she was driving) yet later in the film, when they were running through the mall trying to escape, they out paced them. But it is that sence of futility in the first ten minutes of the remake that I loved. I have been misled by trailors before. I would think that something would suck, but would turn out great. Hopefully that is the case. sorry for the long rant stephen

Yeah this looks like grabage... really dissappointing too cause when I heard it was being remade I was expecting something... wel... good. You know, along the lines of the Dawn of The Dead remake. This is trash, its a steaming pile of shit. I'm throughly, thoroughly dissappointed and have absolutely no intention of seeing it now... where's Zach Snyder on this?

I am a big zombie fan, and gonna go see this despite the trailer, cant really judge movie by such a short trailer anyways. Plus I kinda like a zombie movie where they finally explain how it all started. Maybe remake of NofLD will be after of DofD

BTW the original Day of the Dead wasn't so great either.
