Day of the Dead: 2008

Sadly, the film has nothing to do with the brilliant 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. Why not take that remake (which did the original justice while still being it’s own fucking entity) and follow it up with a sequel set in the same fictional world? It’s not hard to come up with a somewhat decent plot based off of material that’s already been fucking written for you. Surprisingly Ving Rhames is in the project, though is not reprising his role as police officer Kenneth, but as a military captain. And not surprisingly Mena Suvari (of American Pie fame) had nothing better to do than to star in a crappy remake of a classic Romero zombie flick.Day of the Dead does not look promising and if you wish to see for yourself Rotten Tomatoes has provided a clip for your viewing displeasure. And if you wish to actually subject yourself to, what will undoubtedly make you want to brain yourself, the film is released straight to DVD on April 8th. Or you can just download a leaked copy off of your favorite BitTorrent client.
