Land of the Dead Trailer

[Zombie Survivor]

I just saw the trailer on Yahoo, and... :drool: it was beautifull... :cry: I can't wait to see this movie!!!! GAR's Dead movies rulez! :rock:

[SGT. DEATH]

Still waiting on it to down load as I have no broardband but it looks great so far.Corgi I owe you a cold beer or maybe a case for this one.THANKS. :drinking:

[ZombieOz]

Sweet trailer. Totally can't wait for this film. :drool:

[SGT. DEATH]

Well power just went out when it was almost loaded so I have to start again
:x :x :x On the other hand Im sure it will be worth it. :)

[DA THEME]

I can' t wait for this one I can' t believe that the creator is back, the zombies look really good I just hope all the fans back up this film.

[preacher]

thought the first bit with the "coming to get you barbara" line was very good and the reminising of the frist three films was excellent. And its a great trailer until they go with the epileptic nonsense of flashing a thousand images at a million miles an hour at you.

it was so good with the "less is more" approach but when it starts flashing (and water zombies aside) it doesnt show you anything that we havent seen in every other zombie movie. Darkness, big bus lots of zombies...yawn.

They should hav given us a clue as to the story etc, given us a taster of there was nothing there to make me exicted because it looks exactly like dotd04.

im looking forward to it but the trailer sucked (plus apparently according to empire online theres a big spoiler of one major character about to be bitten by another major character)

and it would be interesting to see if hes gone down the rock music dotd04 route instead of staying along the lines of the slower paced original trilogy.

[Monkey Mech X]

This is a teaser, dude, not the full trailer. They'll be plenty more to come.

And I loved it. Maybe it was just the material, but the trailer worked so much.

[Pain]

All is good in the world again! Nice trailer/teaser!

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

I've been waiting for this... I was hoping it would be more then a teaser though, booooooooooo

Can't wait for the real trailer to hit.

[JohnDRobinson]

What a great trailer. My heart was racing. I choked up. This is great!

[Cyber Bishop]

Cool trailer... I can't wait to see this movie!

(damn slow ass 56K)...

[daemonfondler]

The trailor looked pretty slick, althouth i'd have too say the first trailer for Dawn 04, really hit the spot compaired to this one, the way DAWN used the music and slow progression into the idea that it was a zombie flic, was pretty cool.

thought the first bit with the "coming to get you barbara" line was very good and the reminising of the frist three films was excellent.
i agree, that was well done!

i'm interested to see where they go with "intelligent zombie" idea, i'm pretty sure i heard it said in the trailer. seems kinda out of style.

even so... i can't freakin wait!!! :drinking:

[The TRUE lord of the dead]

I have seen the Land of the Dead trailer and I now realize that there is indeed a GOD. He doesnt take the form of a benevolent invisible being in the sky that speaks through other people but in his own pure and wonderful form. He creates wonderful works of film nay... ART. He is well known as an artist and as perhaps a prophet of sorts. I think we all know who I am talking about, George... A... Romero.

[Morbidfilm]

I got chills from it! I couldn't help but think to myself, "It's actually real"
Great to see Universal giving Romero the full credit he deserves.

[Morbidfilm]

"RETURNS TO THE GENRE HE CREATED"
God, I loved that line in the trailer.

(??? guess that thread was merged)

[Zombie-A-GoGo]

Um...I didn't think the trailer was that great. I'm not saying that the movie will be horrible or anything like that. I'm reserving judgement for that. But, as far as this trailer goes...eh...pffft.

Everyone makes a big deal that Romero isn't having fast zombies, and while there aren't really fast zombies featured in the trailer, the music and the cutting is obviously trying to cater to the fast zombie fans...trying to rope in the Dawn remake and 28 Days Later crowd. In fact, this trailer didn't show to me much of a difference between this and those movies. I hope that the end result is not the case.

WHO MOVED MY POST

[The TRUE lord of the dead]

to those who say that it wont cater to both sides (running and walking) simply look how fast the zombies were moving. if the running zombie fans arent happy then well... TO BAD. this movie is being directed by the guy who created the zombie genre, it is because of him ultimately that this website exists and why i have found the perfect interest

[Zombie-A-GoGo]

WHO MOVED MY POST

I did. There was already a thread about the trailer, so I merged them.

??? your a moderator at All Things Zombie....and you didn't get excited from the trailer for the new George Romero , big budget 4th Dead film?

[The TRUE lord of the dead]

I did. There was already a thread about the trailer, so I merged them.

oh ok just let me know next time cause i thought that i had lost my thread

[Zombie-A-GoGo]

I'm excited about the prospect of a fourth Dead film. The trailer itself just didn't incite any more excitement from me, because I just didn't think it was a very good trailer. I hope it's not an accurate representation of the finished product, because if it is--to me--it's not much different than say, the Dawn remake (not that I have a problem per se with fast zombies...they're fine). That's not what I want...I want a slow moving Romero zombie film. Just my opinion.

[Emperor]

I liked the trailer but I suspect it was aimed at the Dawn 2004 fans and the general public so some aspects will probbaly be slightly overplayed and I suspect we fans will have to wait for the film to really get the goodies ;)

There is a run down of the trailer at Empire:

www.empireonline.co.uk/site/news/newsstory.asp?news_id=16748 (http://www.empireonline.co.uk/site/news/newsstory.asp?news_id=16748)

it held this interesting little nugget:

If you think that shots showing the zombies invading the community are spoilerific, well, they’re not – if the zombies didn’t invade, there would be no movie. However, word to the wise – if you slow the trailer down, frame by frame, there is an almighty spoiler in there. And we mean almighty – we’re talking third act stuff here. So by all means watch the trailer, but proceed with caution.

Anyone spotted it?

[Detroit Dogg]

Pshhh.... HOly Bajebus there are HUGE spoilers in there!!!! I was thinking about telling em but I was already MAJORLY pissed off when I spotted em so I figure I'l either let ya find em yourselves or wait for it for 2 months.

~Dre

[pimpkilla]

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/georgearomeroslandofthedead.html

is that a g-36 i see


ohh so nice

[Ellis]

Whoever found the spoiler put it here but put it in black font so that it doesnt show up unless highlighted, I'd really apperciate it.

TNT

[Rookie]

Do they show a zombie shooting a AUG?

[zombie2005]

None of the zombies run, Romero him self stated that be doesn't like running zombies.

Dont be suprised that the zombies gotten smarter. Day of the Dead prove that point with the scientist zombie shooting the gun.

I personally liked the trailer, it paid tribute to the first 3 films. in 2001 an offer was given to romero to make a dvd film for a budget of 5.6 million and romero wanted full control of the movie which they were going to let him have all the gore he wanted, but decided to reject the offer for a theater release of the film and higher budget.

As for the music, romero is not in chrage of the music so he had to go with what ever the person in charge. I dont like the music but if you are a Romero fan and a fan of zombies you would appriate what romero is doing.

The producers are trying to get everone not just Romero fans to see the film and in order to do that sometimes you have do some things different. On his offical web site his wife states there might be a fifth film if LOTD is a hit.

I dont think there are any spoilers on the trailer, as we all know people is living in a walled city were zombies cant get in and they hire mercenaries to help defend there city. Nothing more, I would expect suprises.

[Arson Zombie]

Yeah, I thought the trailer could have been better too. Don't go throwing eggs at my forhead just yet. I liked it a lot, just thought it needed more umph. Still can't wait to see it!!! :evil:

[preacher]

yeah there are spoilers, and ones already been posted in the other LOTD thread without any warning.

i already knew about it and yes its in the trailer but if people want to go in fresh and havent noticed it i think we shouldnt repeat it on the forum without pror notice

[Quinn]

The Spoiler for those who want to know what it is......
HUGE SPOLIER


















John Lequizomo attacking Dennis Hopper, you can tell by the arrow shafts. If you read the screen play you know what I mean. It is towards the end of the trailer


Also I apologize for the spelling for you see, I am drunk.
Have a good day
Quinn

[Kicken]

I could do without the MTV editing and Resident Evil, House of the Dead type music, but the content itself looked very promising!

[Zombie Mark]

Was finally able to watch this on a high speed line, and man - it looks great!! Sure the music was suggestive of RE, but I don't expect GAR to permit a similar musictrack in his movie - its just not his style. I think its just music put in by the marketing firm hired to promote the movie, and trailers often include music not present in the actual film promoted thereby.

But in any case, I really can't wait for 6/24!! (maybe I'll get "624" tatooed on my ass!! :) )

[HOO-HAA]

I watched it without the sound (ducking and diving from boss at work...) and thought it looked pretty damn fine. It seems to have the feel of DOTD '04... Loved the start where it showed clips of all the previous Romero instalments..

[b-fett]

i think i seeped a mass load today when i finally viewed the 'land' trailer, the zombies look awsome, and i hate the word awesome....isnt that awsome


i love romero

[zombie2005]

Please DO NOT spoil the movie, I read already one spoiler by accident a few posts above.

I did not read the script and do not plan too, I want to see this movie in theaters and not knowing whats already going to happen.


Whats the point of watching a movie if you already know whats going to happen, whos going to die, and what the ending is going to be.


Spoilers should post a spoilers thread and give warning on it.

[Kemper]

i didn't even think of Resident Evil when i watched the trailer. Since when does it have a monopoly on that kind of music.

[Kicken]

i didn't even think of Resident Evil when i watched the trailer. Since when does it have a monopoly on that kind of music.

That rights! They also used it in that horrible movie called House of the Dead.
You should have thought that they had learned their lesson by now, but oh no they had to bring it back. Its becoming old and cliché just like CGI.

Its time to move on, Nu Metal is thing of the past, and not this decade! Come up with something new and original!
For me overuse of Nu metal and rap music in horror movies kills the atmosphere.

[zombiefreak]

[and it would be interesting to see if hes gone down the rock music dotd04 route instead of staying along the lines of the slower paced original trilogy.


Please, no rock music with this movie geroge, stick with the goblin style, more scary more dead.

[furygrrl]

i didn't even think of Resident Evil when i watched the trailer. Since when does it have a monopoly on that kind of music.


Actually, the music *was* from the RE soundtrack - Marilyn Manson's 'Seizure of Power'.

For those worried about LOTD's musical choices: I've found that most trailer music doesn't speak for the movie itself - the theme from 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' and snippets from 'Last of the Mohicans' have been used in countless trailers - and has anyone heard the terrible stuff being used for 'Kingdom of Heaven'? That flick alone makes my point; who in their right mind would put metal in a movie set in the ancient middle east?
I think most trailers are just synched up with whatever tune is lying around. ::shrugs:: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[Sadogoat]

- and has anyone heard the terrible stuff being used for 'Kingdom of Heaven'? That flick alone makes my point; who in their right mind would put metal in a movie set in the ancient middle east?
I think most trailers are just synched up with whatever tune is lying around. ::shrugs::

Another recent example would be the first trailer for Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, which 'borrowed' music from both Aliens and Men In Black.

[SanElizando]

The From Dusk til Dawn trailer took music from Aliens too but just 'cause it's in the trailer don't expect it in the film...

[goesaround]

You know I was just at the George Romeo site and in the Chronicles Chris talks about the music composers for the flick.Here is part of it "George insists on being part of all of it to make sure he is getting what he wants. He told me the other day that the composers ,Reinhold Heil and Johnny Climek, were in Toronto showing George the music they have done so far.....and George just loves it" So dont worry about the trailer. Who are these guys huh?

Who are these guys huh?

Just did a quick search - Reinhold Heil and Johnny Klimek did the music for One Hour Photo (Robin Williams), Run Lola Run, The Princess and the Warrior, Swimming Upstream (Geoffrey Rush), Iron Jawed Angels (Hillary Swank), and episodes of 'Without a Trace'. They also contributed a song to the Matrix: Revolutions soundtrack.
Heil is German and won awards for his fusion jazz albums. He also produced Nena - the girl who sings that '99 Luftballoons' song, and composed Baroque/Renaissance style music for the Berlin Opera.
Klimek is Australian and started off doing techno with the likes of Paul Van Dyk.

Even though I've never heard any of the pair's music, they sound experienced and versatile enough for me to look forward to their efforts in LOTD.

[Quinn]

Thanks Furygrrl, they seem to have quite the impressive resume. No offense to goblin fans, but I have a feeling this might be a bit better musically.
Have a good day
Quinn

[as_i_lay_dying]

can someone hook me up with a link to the tailer?

[zombie2005]

Oh great, did anyone notice they took off the trailer on yahoo?

Here my zombie brother is the offical site, they took out the begining of the trailer where it tributes the first 3 films.

http://www.landofthedeadmovie.net/

those SOB's movie company that made a big thing out of romero using his first 3 films, key word here "HIS".

[corgi37]

If it turns out true that GAR was forced to take out stuff FROM HIS OWN MOVIES it is kind of cute.

Still means he has absolutely no idea about the business of movies. And, thats a good thing.

Mind you, i wonder if he had anything whatsoever to do with compiling footage for the trailer. That would be beneath a director, wouldnt it? Probably would be Universal's P.R. machine.

Either way, cool stuff up.

[corgi37]

And, how sweet it is. An Aussie in the lead role, and an Aussie contributing to the music.

Slowly, but surely, we are taking over.

[Detroit Dogg]

Ahhh its an Aussie invasion RUN!!!!!!

Now that’s a beautiful sight!!

[Divided Soul]

Man the trailer rockss I am currently reading the script

[Zombie-A-GoGo]

That is an awesome shot, no doubt about it. :)

[goesaround]

I knew there was something I didn't like about Capitalism. It sucks taking out Romero's movies from Romero's movie! I'm sorry it hurts the trailer. I mean hearing that guy, "they get and kill" and then "They've overrun us you know" Gone!!!! I heard that was going to be in the opening of the movie. You mean none of that will be in the opening of the movie? Cant they rent it?Gosh allmighty!

[Divided Soul]

I don't know exactly what you mean

[goesaround]

I mean the trailer is missing the 'Dawn' and the 'Day' sequence that had been it and is not out because of copyright infringement. Legal or not it still inherently sucks that Romero cant use Romero's films to advertise, a Romero film. Follow? If not go back on the thread about 5 or 6 postings where it is discussed.

[corgi37]

I get ya, goesaround. In the script for LAND, the movie starts with a black screen. Then, we hear the t.v. announcements from Night and Dawn ( i am pretty sure no quotes were from Day). What goesaround means is, they wont be able to use the quotes from Dawn in LAND.

Personally, i dont care. I think the film should start with the glossy t.v. ad for Fiddlers Green. Interspersed with the "spiel" about how luxurious FIddlers is, they should show the abandoned towns and rubbish strewn streets.

Then, right at the end of the ad for Fiddlers, say the announcer says, "So, come and live in absolute secure comfort and luxury - At Fiddlers Green apartments" - then straight cut to a long shot of the teeming thousands of zombies gathered outside the walls.

Or, maybe a close up of a really cool make-up FX zombie, ala "Dr. Tongue" from Day.

[Quinn]

If you look at the screen capture of Simon Baker aboard the dead reckoning when it is traveling at some speed at horror of zombies website the special fx and Baker look really silly. I am glad that it moves a little faster in the film.
Have a good day
Quinn.
ps:I like corgi opening, however I would intercut the fiddlers green comercial with news casts of the outbreak and like Corgi said the reality of the sitution that faces them. All that Romero would have to do is change dialogue and get a diffrent set of reporters. se lave (is that the correct spelling?)

[HorrorOfZombie]

okay i just read the entire thread... whew 4 pages... okay i posted stuff and deleted after i posted it cause i read some people didnt want to know.. but if you want to know THE SPOILER i want say it however if you click here i will show it to you in a picture wallpaper...
SPOILER WALLPAPER (http://www.zombiejunkyard.com/movie_info_pics/land_of_the_dead/wallpapers/land_of_the_dead_019.jpg)

as for the fast clipping between scenes... have you NOT seen Dawn of the dead.. i mean come on he clips fast between scenes,, its also what he is famous for he doesnt have many long running scenes in that... he even says so in his Dawn commentary.. come on... phssstt

and as for the Trailer not having the 3 movies in the beginning montage.. NOT true it only doesnt have 2 of the movies... it still has Night Of the living dead.. cause its doesnt have a copyright. thats why thats still in there...

for anybody who hasnt seen the original trailer... go visit my site at http://www.zombiejunkyard.com and visit the Media And Pics section under Land Of the Dead... I have BOTH versions of the trailer on there along with HIGH quality screen stills from the HD version of the trailer along with icons galore and all kinds of wallpapers... so go check it out...

[Quinn]

Thx for the orginal trailer Horror, also that is great that you edited after reading (mucho responsible) which is more than I can say about my blunder. Also the fast editing remark I hope that is not in response to my post, because if it is I did not mean it in that way. In fact I agree with you 100%, also on the day commentary Roger Avary gives Romero compliments on his camera work and how it uses the axis of the camera very well.
Have a good day
Quinn

[Zombie Survivor]

Has anyone noticed that the zombies look a little bit different? They have normal skin colour, but they are nicely rotten and those eyes... Gosh so beautilfull :cry: Zombies... They creep me out...

The trailer is still on Yahoo, guys... I've just checked it.

[Shredmonkey]

I had to DL the hi res one from the site so that I can have my daily fix in full screen. After waiting nearly 20 years for this film the trailer makes it look like it shouldn't be too dissapointing at all. I agree with some other posters here that the make ups look fanstastic too.

[mrich30000]

the download site doesnt seem to be working!!!!
does anyone know where to get the original trailer!!!!
i liked it so much better with the original movies cut into it!!!!

[I_Apocalypse]

If you want to see the trailer as it was meant to be visit

www.landofthedeadmovie.net

I couldn't get the yahoo links to work (WMP or QT) then I found this...I have a link to the trailer on my desktop so I just click and watch! Mmmmmmm....I've watched it countless times already!

[Bastard Turtle]

I think I could cry...thats just perfect. I can't describe it any other way. Did anyone notice that the music was from the first Resident Evil? It was some of the music that Marilyn Manson composed for the film. This makes me very happy, mainly because I love Manson, and because it won't be in the film. Manson gets some public time, more common people come see Land, and we all win.

[Zombie Survivor]

You're right about that. Man..... I can't wait!!!! Give it to me now!!!

[Divided Soul]

I think using Manson in RE was great but I hope that he does original work for Land... I am Assuming that the final mix down hasn't been done yet and that they threw this in the trailer just to have some music...

[Zombie Survivor]

I think it's to attract people to the film.

[HorrorOfZombie]

the original Land trailer and new one can be found at http://www.zombiejunkyard.com
i dont know if the original is still up on their website or not cause of paul rubinsteing said to take it off... but here ya go anyway/.... remember its in the media & pics section under land of the dead film trailers....
thanks...

[Bastard Turtle]

aw3sk3r, Manson didn't actually compose anything for Land, I think they just used a sample of the RE soundtrack in the trailer. The stuff Manson did for RE doesn't fit the atmosphere and speed of Land, I don't think. Perhaps some of his other stuff does...like, I could really see The Dope Show playing behind an advertisement for Fiddler's Green.

[corgi37]

I cant believe anyone ever liked him, or bought his crap, or saw him live.

But i sure as hell just cant believe anyone STILL thinks he's anything but crap. Washed up crap.

[Bastard Turtle]

Meh, to each his own, if you didn't understand it, then well, you didn't. I like it, though.

[midniteloser]

was it just me or was there a zombie using a gun :clap:? They only show it for a second, but i'm almost positive it's the tall, african zombie i nthe blue jumpsuit at the beginning of the trailer. Sentient zombies? : looney : or :evil: ?

Yes that zombies name is Big Daddy... and you have to remember one thing... they are getting smarter and evolving... kind of like bub.

[Divided Soul]

But from the script they don't talk like Bub..... Too bad. I was hoping to hear more about aunt Alesha

[Quinn]

Perhaps in the extended Lucas edition of Day of the Dead they will have the Aunt Alesha arrive in all her CGI glory on a giant space yak or something!
Have a good day

[Detroit Dogg]

o lord.....AHH THE THOUGHT BURNS!!!

[Strongest Redfield]

(and water zombies aside) it doesnt show you anything that we havent seen in every other zombie movie. Darkness, big bus lots of zombies...yawn.
Zombies who can actualy think isn't something unseen so far?

[Ryan1984]

Great trailer.But one thing that bothers me is that the film looks too dark.I don't mean too dark as in the material but in the lighting of the film.All the scenes were at night.What?No day time zombie action?

[corgi37]

Yeah, thats a whinge i have too.

The mood looks great, but i like daylight stuff so we can actually see things.

[as_i_lay_dying]

I just saw the trailer, finally. Its only a trailer, there probably some day shots.

[Ellis]

Its a pretty sweet trailer. I enjoyed it, and look forward to the movie, hey can anyone give me a link to the orginal screenplay?

Later

[HorrorOfZombie]

I have the original screenplay for this at http://www.zombiejunkyard.com
its under the media & pics section under the land banner....
have a nice one...

[Divided Soul]

Both the trailer and the screenplay are tempting tid bits..... :)

[Ilovezombies!]

so has anyone heard if and when a new trailer will be coming out for land? I LOVED the first one, great stuff! Only 41 days, 7 hr. and 4 min. until i can go see it!! Give or take a few hours or minutes. Anyway, if anyone knows of an answer to my question I would love to hear from ya!

[Zombie Survivor]

No I haven't.

[corgi37]

I havent either, but i imagine it wont be far away.

[Divided Soul]

Ahhh the good ol count down,,,,, Tic Toc.... Tic Toc...

[JohnDRobinson]

They're calling it the UNSEEN trailer...here it is...

Land of the Dead Unseen Trailer (http://www.lotdunseen.com/)

[Pain]

I think you find that there is a link to this on the official thread John. The powers that be are trying to keep all the Lotd stuff together otherwise this section will get clagged up in the coming weeks.

Saying that though it is a much better trailer than the original one. It shows that GAR is still a goremeister as well as a fine director.

[Bad Zombie Night]

JDR... I already reposted that link in the Land thread again last night.

[Bad Zombie Night]

Well, look at that.... Your thread got transferred to the Land Trailer thread.

Maybe they should make this thread a sticky. :think:

[JohnDRobinson]

Hooray!

:rock:

[Bad Zombie Night]

I still can't get it to play the Big Daddy trailer... :-(

I guess I'll have to settle for the large one.

[JohnDRobinson]

I couldn't get it to that one either. Got frigging broadband and all. Buttheads.

[Bad Zombie Night]

It played fine for me when it first came out... Now it's being a :poo: head.

[JohnDRobinson]

Maybe it's just so damn popular.

It was nice, however, to see Asia Argento kicking some ass.

[Zombie Survivor]

I also saw the unseen trailer with more gore and action, I enjoyed it.

[Vash]

Seen it on Law and Order : SVU I was all happy when I did.

[Slumlord]

I wish they'd let you save it to your hd... oh well. :x
