Remake Of George Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD In The Works
We've already had Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead remake, and now Millennium Films has set Mark Tonderai (House At The End Of The Street) to helm a retelling of George Romero's follow up flick. More details after the jump.
Deadline report that Mark Tonderai will direct, and co-write with Lars Jacobsen, a "modern-day retelling" George Romero's Day Of The Dead for Millennium Films. This is actually the second time the'll use the title of Romero's 1985 zombie flick, as a loose remake with Mena Suvari and Nick Cannon also came out in 2008. This time they're said to be targeting a 2014 release. The original was the third in Romero's "Dead" saga, and was notable for having an undead character ("Bub") as a protagonist -- it'll be interesting to see if this new take follows suit. Christa Campbell and Lati Grobman will produce, with Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson and Terry Dougas on board as executive producers.
