warning trailer banned in cinemas
images of gore if offended please do not watch

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Looks a good film, no idea why the trailer was banned though!

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Just the one bit where the zombie is having dinner ;)

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Well I'm a wuss - so after watching that trailer I know it's a film I'll be giving a miss :)

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I think the fact that Romero is doing this using new cgi and a desent cast and Denis Hopper :confused: in the horror genre is like Lucas going back to do star wars to the sci fi world (expect a flaming now :LOL: )

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I didn't even watch the trailer :disturbd:

Re: Land of the Dead
 

When I watched the ring I couldn't sleep properly for three days. Enough said.

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Nothing grizzly in that at all, can't understand it being banned. :confused:

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I had to put the warning just in case though :disturbd: Ramrod would have thought it was a joke thread and passed out bless him :LOL:

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I watched the trailer. Don't think I will be going to the cinema to watch the film somehow. Not really into horror genre. Seen enough of those now. :Yikes: ;)

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Nothing particularly bad in there. Looking forward to it now...brainnnzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :D

Re: Land of the Dead
 

The original version of the trailer included footage from Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead. Due to copyright issues, George Romero didn`t actually have the right to use the footage from Dawn and Day in the trailer for Land and had to pull it from cinemas, hence the trailer now only containing footage from Night.

*Edit* - Hmmm, it would appear that this one is not the trailer I`m thinking of, unless interweb confusion abounds. I`m wondering whether they've now put the revised trailer on this site but haven`t updated the general design.

Re: Land of the Dead
 

It's good to the master of the genre back. I'm really looking forward to this.

28days later was good, and the Remake of dawn also entertaining, but if you want proper Zombies George is the man.

Just out of interest does anyone know what the alternative ending of 28days Later was? I've only seen the normal ending

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Grrr, 28 Days Later was *not* a zombie film. Even George Romero's films are not zombie films.

Zombies are corpses that are re-animated due to voodoo. These are not corpses re-animated by voodoo, in 28 Days Later they aren`t even corpses at all. Don`t forget, that apart from one exception in Dawn, not once are they referred to as zombies in Night, Dawn and Day, although it looks like Land has thrown that one out the window.

Sorry to be a pedant, but this is quite an important distinction for me. I was so happy when Tom Savini made the same point on the commentary track for the remake of NotLD. :D

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I cant remember the original ending its either the main guy lives and runs out when they hear the plane or its just the woman and girl ,one or the other nothing special

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Yep, I had problems going into the living room in the dark for about a week after :disturbd:

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I didn't find the ring to be that scary but I have heard the Japanese version is really scary

I didn't think 28 days later was much good and it definitely wasn't scary

Re: Land of the Dead
 

I taped/watched this off sky movies the other day. In the original ending the woman, girl and bloke all lived. In the alternative it was just the woman and the girl.

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Picky...

Yes I know 28days is not a Zombie film.

However, just because they are not referred to as Zombies in the Romero films doesn't mean they aren't.

Yes the classic zombies are made via voodoo (by the way they are not re-animated corpses) by druging the poor person with the poison extracted from the puffer fish thus paralysing them to the point of near death. They are buried and then dug up and given then given an anitidote,but they are kept drugged and made to work as mindless creatures.

However, the flesh eating kind in the Romero films are brought about by the "mythical" virus solanum.

Re: Land of the Dead
 

The jap version of the grudge(jui jon) is better to although directed by the same guy

Re: Land of the Dead
 

No they are not. Other than some background chatter about the returning probe from Venus in NotLD possibly being responsible the exact means of re-animation is never specified in the films. The concept of solanum is something that has been thought-up after the fact and I've seen nothing to suggest that this was by GAR.

Re: Land of the Dead
 

It was trioxin 245 anyway :D

Re: Land of the Dead
 

:Sprint: I see enough blood guts and gore at work so I will be giving this one a miss, me thinks

Re: Land of the Dead
 

You're not supposed to know about that? ;)
