Land of the Dead
 
First there was Night of the Living Dead
then came the dawn and dawn becomes day

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

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

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: )

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

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

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: ;)

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.

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

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
