Official Land of the Dead Thread

[Kemper]

no news isn't good news in this case...it's too quiet for this movie to be good.

[corgi37]

Number 9's Fx make up looks so painful. So uncomfortable.

And utterly fantastic.

Hope some one here is going to tape the Leguizamo i/v on the late show (or, is it tonight show?) in a few days.

With, of course, a detailed transcript for us to read.

[corgi37]

Oh, hey, i just thought of this.

Taking into account Number 9's cheek is ripped right open, i wonder if she features in any eating scenes? If so, it would look as gory as all hell, as half the "food" would dribble out of the side of her face!

[Quinn]

Actually Kemper my view is that there has been a great deal of news with the release of pictures and a pretty A+ site. As far as ad time goes I have kinda developed a theory- Shaun of the Dead had very little ad time until the few weeks before its release. Universal I think has a kinda weird ad strategy, its kinda a given that Universal would hype Cinderila Man which it kinda half assed really (although summer time is not a real good time to release an Oscar bait movie, plus it was kinda a stock Ron Howard film good but sorta predictable-ie. overcoming adversity capturing Americas heart see Apollo 13, Beautiful Mind,ect). I think they dont really know what to do with a movie like Land. DOD 04 had an pretty meaty action/horror hook for them to get the younger less fan based crowds in and also the reaction to the first trailer that was put togather really was a catalyst for the pr machine. I think that Land while being excellent is hard to sell, thats why I think the metal music is being used in the trailers and the site (it is not a representation of the film product but as a tool to draw new fans and the general audience to the film). A great example of why Land cant really be overhyped is also because they might not be able to show alot of the film. Let us compare films from a movie company stand point shall we?

Example A: Aliens vs Predator: Fairly violent but mostly harmless non-explict. Has two general Iconic characters that people can relate to. Has enough scenes of silly cat jumps at of no where scares to get people excited about its level of "horror". Also is harmless enough to slot in the trendy rock/ metal flavor at that time.
Solution: OVERHYPE the film- despite its somewhat questionable quality and horror credentials.

Example B: Romantic teen comedy (of which there are too many, but can be kinda funny.......sometimes but usally not at all): Has mass movie audience appeal (both as a teenage crowd pleaser or teen/young adult date movie), innocent scenes of hijinxs and sex related zany events. Add the most popular prom song of that year and or teen popular figure be it female or male.
Solution: OVERHYPE: Even if it is the same crock of garbage just recycled with new settings and people.

Example C: Land of the Dead: Smaller lesser known cast. Director that is kinda known but kinda not. Really violent scenes with gore and people essentially eating people. A poltical theme that might be difficult to be grasped by alot of the audience "because they likes to see things blow up, but too much subtext may detract from the 'splosions."
Solution: Underhype and hope for word of mouth......no wait kinda hype with the use of metal music to give wrong persepction of film thus tricking the audience......no wait OVERHYPE but digtally slot in Ashton Kutcher.....No wait order pizza and snot coke of a strippers back....no wait.
And it goes on and on, so from my vantage point Land is kind of a tricky thing to figure out for Universal, to violent for PG 13 audience and kinda smart for the people who thought House of Wax was the end all of horror. Also remeber how long it took for Romero to get this film made, its not exactly box office gold for a studio which is why it only came to fruition during this new glut of zombie movies.
Have a good day
Quinn
PS: Sorry about the length, also is it just me or does anyone else want Ron Howard to go back to making films like ED tv or Splash?

[Bad Zombie Night]

Holy Molely Quinn! You really want to prove that this film isn't going to flop.

I wouldn't worry about it... When Land debuts in 17 days, all our questions will be answered. I feel it will be good enough to fulfill everyone's expectations... But just in case, the film comes way short of that, I hope the people on here will have the courage to say how they really feel about it.

[jackskellington]

Been seeing alot of a "Cheez-It" commercial lately that has a special offer where they're giving away movie tickets and there's a guy trapped inside a house with zombies coming through the windows after him. I know that's got nothing to do with Land but its kinda cool that they started running that commercial just a couple of weeks before the release! In fact, I've seen that commercial now more than I've seen the Land preview.

[Kemper]

I don't think Word of mouth works over the summer...if it doesn't do well fast...well your going to have sticky feet at the dollar theater pretty quick.

Nobody wants this film to do better than me...I just haven't got any vibe at all for this one. They better have a two minute preview on the OC or something :)

They might not have the budget for a blitz and will hope that Rabid fans are enough. I'll probably see it 5 times myself at the theatre.

[Minkz]

Anyone see the one zombie firing a gun? Looked to be a Steryl AUG. It can be seen in the trailer if you pause it just right :D

[Morto-Vivo]

Zombies firing weapons sucks... :(
i hope just bid daddy can do that.

[preacher]

sadly War of the worlds is going to be released a week after Land, but after that theres barely anything being released at all.

everyones going to see War and Lands going to be forgotton about.

it may get a second wind if they advertise like hell the week after WOTW's released

[Pain]

That could work in Lotd's favour though.

If screenings are sold out of War of the worlds then people are gonna go and see something else, so Lotd could have a much larger audience.

I know what i'd rather see!

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

Is it just me or does it seem like every single picture released so far features the same exact handful of zombies, especially "big daddy" or whatever. I mean it's cool to have character zombies here and there but I am not sure if I like the idea of this "big daddy" zombie being in every other scene of the movie. I haven't read the script, does anyone know if he is a huge character in the film, or is he more along the lines of bub from DotD '78?

[Darth Erroneous]

The centralized zombie character deviates from the standard human versus zombie formula. A smart zombie? I would just take care of myself right then and there. If zombies begin to think and plan things it can't be anything good. Look at the Resident Evil games. In all of them the zombies never really presented a real threat unless they were in great numbers. In RE4, the enemies (I can't call them zombies) were smarter and could communicate with each other to plan attacks. I don't think zombies should be able to communicate. It raises too many questions and concerns.

[Kemper]

i want to see a thinking zombie commit suicide...that would be powerful.

[Thing]

I haven't read the script, does anyone know if he is a huge character in the film, or is he more along the lines of bub from DotD '78?
Good question, guess we'll have to wait.

[corgi37]

I think in a weird way, War of the worlds can compliment LAND. No doubt War will be on the most screens, and every kid (and adult i guess) is gonna line up to see the moronic Tom Cruise, and also, cause its a Speilberg film. And, for Speilberg fans, a return to the big FX spectacular, as opposed to stuff like Catch me if you can or that guy-stranded-in-the-airport film with TOm Hanks. I can fully see people lining up to see WAR, not getting in, and saying "Oh, well, lets see LAND". Assuming they aint 13 year old annoying kids.

Do no underestimate the internet. There are an incredible amount of horror/sci fi geeks (like us!! hahahaha) out there. I truly believe Land will have a good opening. Dawn was the 1st film i followed on the net, from announement it was being made, through to filming, to the trailer, to the cinema release and then the dvd. The net was full of buzz, where as, i am not totally sure the traditional media was. Showing the 1st 15 mins was a great idea, but hey, that was only on a cable channel. Not free to air.

Another important thing to remember is the a film like War or the worlds will always outgun a film like Land. Simply due to the content. And, the rating. And the names attached. Yet, for our little sub-genre, GAR is the master. The Spielberg of zombies. His 1st zombie flick in 20 years has already caused a great amount of interest on the net. Hopefully, this transfers to cinema $$$$. The only trouble here is, too many 15 year olds waiting for it, and not enough 25 year olds.

Cinema success is important, no doubt. But if Land makes (say) about $40mill in the U.S. at a theatrical release, i think that is pretty good for a "R" rated $15-17mill film. Land will be very popular in Europe i feel. Land's so-called political sub context (ie: alluded anti-Bush/anti conservative sentiments in the film) will play very well with those Euro people. With conversion, i beleive it could match $40mill. I dont think it will get more than $2mill here in Oz (If its rated "R" here, that means no one under 18 is allowed in. "R" films generally dont make alot of dosh here. Dawn only earnt about $1.5mill (it was rated "MA" here). It will easily be GAR's biggest commercial success. No doubt. Whether its enough to ensure any more, is up to YOU PEOPLE IN THE U.S. Go out and see this on the opening week-end! Take ya brothers and sisters. Drag ya mum and dad. Get granny out of her aged peoples home and take her too. Take the dog if you have to!

Do people here think Land will make the Top 10 for its opening week? I do. Maybe not the top, but certainly a possible 2nd or 3rd.

But, the key to the whole thing is dvd. I am convinced Land will be a blockbuster on dvd. This is where the movie will truly shine, and bring in a heap of dough for Universal (and our old buddy, GAR).

[Quinn]

Corgi makes some excellent points, and just to add a little to that Universal will also proably look at Land in the same context that Corgi mentioned: a hard R that has some of a built in community behind it and will judge its success on it, not against a mega budget sure fire blockbuster like War. Universal will also look at the DVD sales, mostly because today they are almost as highly valued as box office draw. Finally one theme that seems to run through a great deal of the movie and horror movie news sites that Corgi echoes is the call for fans of the genre and film to really to go see it in the theaters thereby legitimizing Universals choice in aiding Romero in putting out one of his films.
Have a good day
Quinn (I think I just kinda repeated what Corgi said, but you know what they say repition is the best form of campaiging. Vote Corgi 2006 for Legislative assembly in Victoria of Awstraya)
PS: It would be weird if War turned out to be so horrible that Land beat it two weeks in a row despite the star power.

[MADMAN]

The big problem with Land is that Universal is not putting enough oomph into mainstream ads. Just like with Undead over at Lion's Gate. I think that audiences, American in particular, are hungry for more of the genre. War, on the other hand, aside from having big name pull, is being marketed like crazy. I sat down on Sunday and watched TV for about half an hour and saw two War of the Worlds commercials. Both Lions Gate and Universal have the money to market their respective zombie films, yet they are offering up lackluster campaigns. It's as if they want these films to fail, or they think that we'll do all the work for them.

[mojo]

I'm sure somebody already mentioned this but i really don't feel like reading the 85 pages in this post to see what was said so i'll just be a "noob" and repost the topic....

Did anyone notice that they changed the beginning of the "Land" trailer from it's original internet release???

When it came online (sometime early last month) for the first week the beginning of the trailer showed scenes from the original "Night" along with scenes and background voices from "Dawn" and "Day" (yes you can hear Ken Foree's famous line, "When there's no more room in hell..." in the trailer)......but now it scrapped the "Dawn" and "Day" scenes/voices and extended the scenes/voices from the original "Night". I thought that was kind of corny. The pitch for the original trailer came out as explaining that "Land" was the final installment of the "Dead" series which was really cool. But with the new "extended" intro, it just boasts that this is a "George Romero film. The Master of Horror....so go see it!" and eludes the fact that it's part of a quadrilogy.

Grrrrrr :x ....i kind of wished i had burned the original "Land" trailer on my computer because it was alot more interesting and for us zombie fans...had more meaning. Oh well, life goes on. Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed that and what you guys think about it.

[Quinn]

Land of Dead action figures to be released!

Here the article: Land of the Dead Toys coming ! (http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4337.html)

I know what I want for Christmas. :evil:

[Dagnammit]

THERE IS A CLIP ONLINE!!! YAAY! :drinking:

Over at Movies Online there is a link to a video clip of a Swedish TV show, which includes a short snippet from near the beginning of Land of the Dead.

*SPOILER*

It is the scene set in Uniontown where Riley and one of his companions are watching Big Daddy through binoculars, before he turns and makes eye contact with him. Looks fantastic!!


Here's the link: http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4193.html

LotD becomes more and more beautifull... But I must wait until September :-(

Jesus, how did I miss that!? I must be slipping! :doh: :)

[Zombie Survivor]

I heard LotD, but I saw nothing! Just shadows! :-(

[Dagnammit]

You just need to turn the brightness up on your monitor, the scene is set at dusk and it's a pretty dark recording.

[goesaround]

A lot of people are waiting for this of all ages. I'm surprised to hear 15 year olds even know of Romero. I'm 54 and I am so excited!! Kemper what a brilliant idea a smart zombie commiting suicide Romero are you 'listening'? I thought of a great idea for the next zombie movie it would work on on levels if you know what I mean. Have the people retake Washington from the zombies! I'm telling you that scene where 'big daddy rises out of the water is right from 'Apocalypse now'! I'm sure of it! Anyone agree?

[livid_86]

I was so excited that a new Flick in the series is commin i nearly pissed myself. But i was recently frightened by somthing in a trailer i saw. A zombie weilding a gun. I assume that their running with the notion presented in day of the dead that the dead can learn, manipulate tools, comunicate, etc. However, the zombie in 'Day' was taught these things. Am i to assume that zombies are teaching other zombies to use guns? Somebody please ease my fear. If it is the case that zombies are teaching each other, thats fine by me, i just hope they explain it as that in the movie.

[SGT. DEATH]

I have no worries about this film and I have only heard of one zombie in the movie that uses a gun but there are others he teachs to use other weapons.
I beleive its the old story of the dead retain memories from life.I think every one on the site will at least enjoy if not love this movie.

[Langolier]

I'm not too terribly worried...

I mean I think to myself, "Oh god, please just don't suck..."

Not that I think it will, but the fear will there until I see it.

I always would have thought zombies using weapons was wrong...

But really now...

One used a brick in Night, we saw them using all sorts of things in Dawn (if incorrectly), and in Day, we finally saw one talk, and then use a handgun.

George has pulled it off nicely before... so he can do it again.

[livid_86]

oh i'm sure i'll enjoy it too, i've just gotten my heart broken by zombie movies before.

[zombie2005]

Lol dont worry, I came accross a spoiler for bub the zombie and all i can say is someone (lol) taught bub some tricks. hint hint

[zombie2005]

This is a better idea for the next romero movie.

Have him explain how people turned in to zombies, go back to day 1 in a big city and explain the events leading to the event.

Thank ya very much BZN. Also want to remind everyone that Sun at 6:30 EST the Land documentary will be on IFC.
HAve a good day
Quinn

[JohnDRobinson]

Of course this has the possibility of sucking.

But it's still a Romero Dead movie...that's good enough for me!!

[goesaround]

Two things turned me on past my fears. 1) Everytime I see the photos of the landscape as wasteland I get the shivers. No one does Apocalypse like George Romero 2) I read in one of those Horror mags (Not Fangoria) that George Romero said I was making a this movie as a remake of 'Night of the Living Dead' but instead of trapped in a house they are trapped in a futuristic fighting security truck. The thought od Night of the Living Dead done with a twist didn't sound old but great! I'm just not sure from the article if he meant that was his original idea or was this what he actually did. Because I thought most of the movie was in the walled city. Anyway do you realize and I'm sure you do how we all waited hoped prayed for this and now nothing short of a zombie outbreal could stop this from coming to our local screens!

[corgi37]

I've tried to d/l that clip before, and i cant. Might be the filters at work. Oh, you may say, do it at home!

Cant. My not-so-trusty old Aptiva died last week.

But, fear not!! For i am getting a totally new computer (hopefully) tomorrow.

Still dont know what LAND will be rated here in Oz. Usually, we are not as uptight as the U.S. and mostly have alot of violence and gore left in.

But, ahh, eating scenes? Dunno about that. I'm assuming it will get a "R" rating here.

[Bad Zombie Night]

Thank ya very much BZN.
You've been slipping lately Quinn.... Usually you post the news soon after it is released. :mrgreen:

Glad I could help though. :)

Don't sweat it Corgi.... There really isn't much to see. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/sweat.gif

[preacher]

the similarities between this and the phantom menace are startling, where a genre defining film maker made 3 classics 20 plus years ago, brings out an ace trailer filled with action that makes all the fans salivate at the thought of the new one. Only for everyone to be grossly disappointed.

and with regards to LOTD being a remake of NOTLD but with characters stuck in a security truck, i would be quite happy for them never to remake Night of the living dead (or any film thats similar in concept) again

we've done the old stuck in a house/basement/miltary complex/shoe box etc etc while zombies attack sooooo many times.

seriously if thats all the zombie genres got to offer then let it die

[Emper0r]

Forgive me for not reading 500 replies to find this out.. but has anyone seen any sign of a scene in the day yet in Land of the Dead? In the commercials and previews I have only seen scenes at night... I have to admit that's worrying me.

Another thing that's worrying me is the acting, how do you guys think it's gonna be? Lets face it, bad acting can really screw a potentially great movie.

[Bad Zombie Night]

Another thing that's worrying me is the acting, how do you guys think it's gonna be? Lets face it, bad acting can really screw a potentially great movie.
Since when did GAR ever have great talent to work with? He's just happy to find actors and/or actresses with experience.

Ye should have a little more faith.


Saw several Land TV spots on Fox late last night.

[Dagnammit]

In answer to your question Emper0r...

*SPOILER*

From what I read in the script the events of the film mostly take place at night. The film is set over the course of about two to three days, beginning one evening (at dusk) as the Dead Reckoning team raid an abandoned town and continuing through the next night and into the early moning. There are some daytime scenes, but these are mostly set within the city and (apart from the scene with Asia fighting the cage zombies and a couple of other incidents) don't involve much zombie action so they haven't been used much in the promotion.

[Preach]

I saw the trailer on MTV last night..there is a zombie who looks like Eddie Murphy's brother Charlie..who was shooting a Steyr AUG (Armee Universal Gewehr) assault rifle :doh:

[Bad Zombie Night]

I saw the trailer on MTV last night..there is a zombie who looks like Eddie Murphy's brother Charlie..

Charlie Murphy? I don't recall ever seeing him before... Does he look anything like Eddie?

[jackskellington]

He's on Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central and he was also in the movie CB4 with Chris Rock. Very funny movie if you haven't seen it and he's so good on Chappelle that I think he should get his own skit show.

[jackskellington]

The link below has posted TV spots for Land if you can get it to open. It seems to be up and down and you just kinda have to hope you catch it at the right time. It's a pain in the ass but I just thought it should be posted, (if it hasn't already been)...

This new trailer is far superior to the original one... I love the gut munching scene the most... It has removed any doubts I previously had about the film.
Thanks guys. :drinking:

Hey MonsterHunter...Have you watched that new trailer? Where have we heard about the dark room with chewing sounds before? Check out the Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things Remake thread posts #32 and #34!!

[Preach]

Charlie Murphy? I don't recall ever seeing him before... Does he look anything like Eddie?

yeah..he looks alot like his brother..I'd bet money he's the gun shooting zombie who startles Dennis Hopper outside the window of his limo :clap:

[jackskellington]

yeah..he looks alot like his brother..I'd bet money he's the gun shooting zombie who startles Dennis Hopper outside the window of his limo :clap:

Didn't we establish that Charlie Murphy is NOT in this movie?

[corgi37]

Wow! That trailer just looks awesome. Some really scary and atmospheric scenes. Its a bit of a bummer its all at night though. Bit sad to hear its only 90mins, but dont forget mates, the uncut dvd is yet to hit us! Whats the bet it wont be a paltry 9 minutes extra like Dawn04. GAR looks after us!
Oh, 1 more thing.

Asia Argento looks freaking hot!!!

[jackskellington]

I'm pretty down about the 90 minute thing myself but it's alot better than 0 minutes!! I just hope the DVD extras are worth a crap...Seems that most of the time when you watch the deleted scenes on a movie, you quickly discover why they were deleted! Dawn 04 had to be the worst example of overhyped extras in history. Although, sometimes the extras are well worth the money such as the Chainsaw Massacre remake special edition DVD!

[zombie2005]

Unrated trailer was AWSOME zach snyder or any other zombie director will never live up to this kind of zombie movie, the gore and everything else, just brilliant.

Don't get to wild up about the smart zombies, the smartest one is big dady and the others are really not intelligant.

I seen tom Savi and it looks like he is wearing the same biker outfit as in dawn of the dead.

Gore my god is excellent

Oh yea, I hope to see Asia Argento naked, dam at least i got see her in her bra :love: whos with me?

[Preach]

Didn't we establish that Charlie Murphy is NOT in this movie?

uhm..no..not yet

[Morto-Vivo]

Wow... the new trailer is really cool... GOREEEEEE :lol:
Did anyone noticed that part with leguizamo stabbing a zombie in the head?
it noticed really well that the zombie's head was fake.. :\ like rubber or something like that...

Emperor, i was talking about that part that leguizamo stabs a zombie in the head.. it's terrible.. they can do better than that.

All you have to do is scroll down the page a bit. ;-)

But yes, it does kick ass. :rock:

[jackskellington]

uhm..no..not yet

Big Daddy is played by an actor named Eugene Clark who does not look anything like Charlie Murphy...

[jackskellington]

yeah..he looks alot like his brother..I'd bet money he's the gun shooting zombie who startles Dennis Hopper outside the window of his limo :clap:

How much money were you betting?

[jackskellington]

I just have to say, if there were any doubts about this movie or about GAR introducing something new to the genre, that scene with the chewing sounds and then the zombie ripping the throat out of the victim from the inside should squash any worries anyone has! Maybe that's been done before but I've never seen it. KICK F-ING ASS!!! 13 DAYS AND A WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bad Zombie Night]

Here's the new Land trailer again just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet.

This link has it in Small, Medium, Large, and BIG DADDY.

[Pain]

Thanks BZN!

Am glad that it looks like it's gonna be a bit of a gorefest. It's what the world needs, Gore in the Multiplex :evil:

[Bad Zombie Night]

I don't know what's the deal with the web page though.... I tried to see it today, and it wasn't up.... I finally got on just now, but it seems the Big Daddy link has been disabled. :-(

[jackskellington]

It took me a couple of tries at the big daddy link also...Maybe heavy traffic or something? I don't know. Just wish it was Windows media instead of f-ing Quicktime!!

[goesaround]

Wow double g. I am so excited riding my adrenalin high after watching the new trailer! I reluctantly figure the movie might be a vain, maybe even unconscious attempt to regain his glory by copying the success of Dawn 04 with a similar style. zombies at the fence, a armored car, a hero who frankly looks like the white hero in Dawn 04 a bit! That is my choking fear but not now! Oh me of little faith! What a exciting trailer...Scary even Yeaa !! Hurrah for us!! Yea hurrah for our side..still I'm keeping my expectations low but I am so excited. I mean you dont suppose there is a chance the deal will fall through and the movie wont be made...maybe he'll be fired...Wrong it's coming out in 13 nights, I mean dawns, I mean days

[Slumlord]

If I'm not mistaken, Romero was shopping this script around YEARS before James Gunn wrote his Dawn remake with the armored car/bus. Plus, the zombies at the fence thing was done pretty well by Romero in Day Of The Dead. As far as the hero looking like the one in Dawn 04, I can't seem to pick out a "hero" from these trailers. I think the closest thing to that in this movie is gonna be Big Daddy.


Big Daddy looks like one hell of an interesting character and I'm looking forward to seeing his part in the movie.

[zombie2005]

I went to see Star Wars 3 at the theathers today and the land of the dead trailer was not shown, not only that but not even a poster was hung in the theater.

This movie will not be a box office hit like the dawn of the dead remake, the marketing is terrible plus is due out in 2 weeks. None of the news channels or any program has mentioned land of the dead but mentions all the other movies.

In every romero movie something wrong always happen in all this movies plus the site still sucks, cant view nothing but pictures and the altered trailer.

If the movie does not make serious money then a 5th film will end up stright to dvd if he decideds on it.

[jackskellington]

I agree that the marketing sucks but I think it will still do well from word of mouth. The Batman hype should be about over by the 24th and I'm sure Land will be number 1 at the box office from then until the 29th when War of the Worlds opens. Bewitched isn't gonna be much competition I don't think but unfortunately people flock to Alien movies...Especially Spielberg's. All in all though, I think Land should do well enough to warrant Universal to back GAR one more time.

[jackskellington]

Just saw another TV spot I haven't seen before on FX channel, (ironically owned by Fox!). This one started off with a shot of Earth saying something like, "There are so many million people on Earth...Most of them dead." Then it flashes through alot of scenes we've all seen before but with one or two I haven't seen such as a couple of zombies with collars and chains attached to a wall like in Day. Could they be the Shaun of the Dead guys? I believe that last review posted yesterday said that their cameos were of "photo op zombies." Another day down!!!!

[Zombie Survivor]

Sounds great.

[Bad Zombie Night]

Saw repeated trailer TV spots all day, on the Sci-Fi Channel, while they aired the Zombie marathon.

[Detroit Dogg]

hmmm.... I have now seen Land trailers on the NFL and NBA channel.....

Land of the DEad premiere that Thursday at 11:15 on the 23rd at the Lamar location with a 45 minute random zombie clip lead up to the 12am hour.....

Austin rules!!

TEchnico

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

Before I graduated from college I was trying my best to find a job in the Austin area, so much cool shit happens there. I wish I could go to the premiere it sounds like a great time!

edit: so... yeah if anyone hears of any good electrical engineering job openings in the area... let me know ::Wink::

[Kemper]

would it have been too weird for peter to have lead the zombies? Why?

[jackskellington]

would it have been too weird for peter to have lead the zombies? Why?

What? Did I miss something?

[Zombie Mark]

While not exactly on point, the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly has an article about Nicotero, and mentions his work in Land of the Dead. Also had Tarentino's top 5 zombie movies - good to hear he's a fan of the genre!

[Kemper]

What? Did I miss something?

no. this was probably talked about but i thought it would be an awesome person to lead the rebellion. I mean he was an authoritative figure and a moral figurehead.

It seems pretty natural to me and it can end things with a real emotional subtext. Plus, he is a proven badass who can handle a gun.

[jackskellington]

You talking about Peter from Dawn '78? What's he got to do with Land? Oh!!!! Are you saying that he would have been a good choice to play Big Daddy? I don't know...He got the cameo part in Dawn 04...Land should remain fresh with no "pick out the cameo" spots of people from past Romero movies, (except for Tom Savini).

[Kemper]

yes, peter from DOTD. I mean the movie was left open ended so why not have him be the guy...he is already established to be capable. If you hadn't seen DOTD (yikes) it wouldn't really be a big deal. It would be huge treat for me. I'm more of a short white guy so was on the midget team when we played zombies as a kid...but i always liked Peter.

[davethevoice]

Hey there Guys

For those of us who have Netflix you can now reserve a copy
of the new Remero film the land of the dead I did tryed once
more just on a lark and found it this time and reserved a copy
anyway I thought I would tell guys


Dave Corson :)

[Bad Zombie Night]

I'm a Netflix member, but why would anyone care about that right now?
The movie will be out in theaters in less than 2 weeks, and the film's DVD release won't be for a long time. Besides, Neflix puts many upcoming movies into their database, even before a DVD is announced for a particular film.

[corgi37]

Yeah, i had to look at that heaps of times to figure out what was going on. I dont know if many of you recall, but some where on this thread (or was it imdb?) some dude who claims he saw a rough cut of the film (and not 1 person believed him) mentioned something about a zombie sticking his hand into a mouth and pulling out some goodies.

I guess i owe that bloke an apology.

Now, to other matters. Did anyone see Leguizamo on one of the talk shows? I missed it. We get them over here in Oz, but its a crap shoot if its old, new, or not replaced by some special presentation.

And guys. Come on, improve the grammar a bit.

I need to think too hard to read some of the posts. I understand ya'll is excited, but language is a beautiful thing.

P.S. Wouldnt i look like a dick head if i spelt a word wrong in this post?

[preacher]

well now that you mention it "ya'll" isnt the best use of grammer

[Pain]

Good point BZN.

Also this should be in the Official thread i would have thought.

[SGT. DEATH]

Since this thread will be shut down soon I wont bother with a reply....Ooops too late.I hate it when that happens. :lol:

[SGT. DEATH]

Today I bought the summer issue of film review and was very disappointed to learn that there is nothing on Land of the Dead even in their essential summer preview which basically lists the summer blockbusters.Its not that these guys dont know about Land because the have mentioned it before.I think they are just ignoring this Genre completly.Or maybe they just have no faith or taste. :drinking:

[Sexual_Zombie]

Cheers for the heads up Dave, I knew I’d regret reading the first half of the script!

[Exile]

hope the dead are just faster and more intelligent though but not so intelligent that theyve in armies etc with a leader (like in the omega man)

Amazing....

[Sadogoat]

Check this out:

George Romero Tribute Video (http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4437.html)

The likes of Eli Roth, Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Clive Barker, Guillermo del Toro, Dennis Hopper, and John Landis all talk about the influence of George Romero on modern horror. There's several clips from Land Of The Dead, including a brief shot of Savini as the zombie Blades. I believe you can also catch a glimpse of Simon Pegg in his cameo as a 'Bub lookalike' zombie.

It's in Quicktime and is well worth watching.

[preacher]

Amazing....

id have to agree

[Tequila]

Hey you guys saw this little review?
It was posted at Homepageofthedead and sounds amazing!!!

"Just got back from the "industry screening" of Land, with GAR in attendance (5 rows ahead of me).

Not to give out any spoilers, because I won't...but this film rocked. Does it have a different feel than Night, Dawn, and Day? Of course it does...why? Because of the fact that it's 2005, and movie making has changed over the course of the years. And also, this wasn't an indy film in the same way the othe three were.

BUT, what they got away with, gore-wise, was absolutely incredible. My buddy and I were laughing with glee through the entire flick at all of the violence. Let me put all doubts to rest: This IS a George A Romero zombie film. This is NOT a rip-off...it's the real deal. Head shots, decapitations, zombie biting people with the typical fleshy ripping...intestines...the works. I was SHOCKED at the amount of gore they managed to get into the film. I spoke with the Production Manager afterwards, and he assured me that the gore in the film is NOTHING compared to what's going to be on the DVD. Oh, and on the way out, I got to shake GAR's hand and tell him that this is an incredible film. Honestly, it's this generation's "Dawn". (And yes, that means it's more fast paced etcetc, which some purists might be pissed about)."

YEs YES YES!!

[Quinn]

Good lord I go one vacation for a couple a days and a whole bunch of news comes out like a son of a gun. Thx BZN for the trailer link and thx Sadogoat for the link to the documentary. I especially liked the end with the coffee, Romero got some acting chops too :).
Have a good day
Quinn

[goesaround]

That is great news from the insider industry viewing. The new trailer gives you that sense of quickened greatness.... BUT What happened to the "Dream of the Dead" I rushed home like a maniac over and under the Catskill mountains and arrived home at 6:30 and sat down and looked at the IFC channel and No Romero!! No Document of nothing! What happened?? Did it get discussed on another thread? How come no ones upset? Whats up? Is it going to be on Tuesday?

[Shredmonkey]

Check this out:

Thanks so much for that link mate. Damned if I'm not excited as all hell and I have to wait until AUGUST 5th!!!!

[Sadogoat]

The George Romero Tribute video can also be downloaded here (http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1901) in three different sizes/resolutions.

[jackskellington]

That tribute is awesome!!! Some great new shots from the movie I haven't seen and even Clive Barker kissing up to Romero. (No disrespect to Barker...Hellraiser 1 is in a class all by itself.) Looked like theres gonna be alot more new zombie types and ways of dying than anyone had imagined! Down to the single digits tomorrow...9 days and a wake up!!!!!

[goesaround]

Yes the tribute was excellent and so dead on BUT what about 'Dream of the Dead'?? It was supposed to be on last night and nothing! It was 'dead' silent. At the IFC website they still offer it and claim it will be on Weds again. Was it indeed on and my area did not pick it up despite the local on screen guide listing it? Please someone... or maybe I cant pick it up on my puny WWII era radio...or

[corgi37]

The tribute is great. The LAND footage is wicked. But does any one think Big Daddy's teeth are a bit too odd?

He looks more monster-ish than zombie-ish.

But, thats really nit picking.

[Quinn]

Here is what happend on the Dream documentary
From movies online:

"So what happened is what everyone keeps asking me. There was supposed to be an IFC special on for Land of the Dead called Dreams of the Dead: George A. Romero and it was supposed to run from 3:30-4:00pm. Alot of fans of Romeros who frequent our site have since emailed to saay "hey what the hell". I am with them.. what happened?"

Update: Here is an official response from the Network:
I have to apologize to everyone who tuned in to see Dream of the Dead - the behind the scenes doc about the making of Romero's Land of the Dead. It was originally scheduled to air this evening at 6:30pm (est), but was scratched at the last minute because the film's delivery was delayed.


The reasons are numerous, but have been rectified - the film will air this Tuesday/Wednesday at 2:30am(est)/ 11:30pm(pst), again Wednesday at 6:45pm (est). It will air several more times this month as well...


It is not a Romero film, but an exclusive look at the production of his latest Zobie flick, Land of the Dead. Making a film is not always easy and sometimes unexpected delays **** things up. It's part of the process of filmmaking, though it's not always easy to swollow. Again, I apologize on behalf of the network to anyone who this may have inconvenienced, and hope you tune in later this week to see it.

Here is the link to the article: http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4434.html
Have a good day

Hi all,

Looks like the date is set for the LotD premiere in San Antonio... Midnight premiere at the S.A. Drafthouse on the 23rd... Big Daddy in attendance for the midnight and the opening night...see below...

===============

Bowie,

the event is set for Thurs June 23rd at midnight. Eugene "Big Daddy" Clark will be staying in SA a second day/night as well for opening night! would you be available to stay as well?

let me know and i can give you more info.

kw

===========

I'll be doing the Alamo midnight premiere in Austin, so will probably do the opening night Fiday in S.A to give away a copy of my book.... for which showing and how many, not sure... more on that later...

Tickets will be available soon at http://www.drafthouse.com under the Alamo Westlake San Antonio link... I've already bought my midnight ticket for the Austin Lamar Drafthouse...

This is my Episode III,

Bowie Ibarra

p.s. - God Bless the Alamo Drafthouse...

[corgi37]

Just to add to my Big Daddy teeth critique - I also dont like his roar.

[Dagnammit]

I seriously doubt that the "roar" we hear in the trailer will appear in the actual film. I'm almost certain that it just a silly, loud sound effect that they spliced into the trailer to add to the "sensory bombardment" of the clip. If you look closely, the sound doesn't even fit the movement Big Daddy's mouth. It's one of those silly cliches, kinda like how in almost all trailers now they have a white flash accompanied by a "whoosh" sound between each snippet of footage.

[Zombie Survivor]

LotD is going to rock!!! George A. Romero even has his own zombie for his coffee! :lol:

[Some_Day...]

I'm so bloody sexcited for Land of the Dead finally coming out...but I have to wait until bloody August to see it in the UK!!! :x :cry:

[Pain]

I'm gutted about that too someday, just hope we don't have to wait long for The Devils Rejects as well.
I expect when i go over to Sgt Death's in August we will catch a screening of Lotd!!

Then get pissed! :drinking:

[Kemper]

i took a vacation day on the 24th so i can see the movie as much as need be.

Getting pretty antsy.

Peter...PEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEERRRRRRR!!!!!!

[Pain]

I'm on holiday from the 24th for a week, so i'm doubly pissed that we don't get it til August in the UK :x

[Bad Zombie Night]

I Just caught the GAR Tribute Video, and it had some good stuff in it... I especially liked watching George working on the set of Land, and talking to the Zombies.

[corgi37]

Still supposed to be Aug 4 here in Oz. But now i am worried too. We have school holidays in Sept!! But, i cant see it being kept back for that, as i assume it will be rated "R" here, meaning no one under 18 admitted.

One more thing. Isnt Hopper due to appear on one of the tonight shows soon?

[Bad Zombie Night]

One more thing. Isnt Hopper due to appear on one of the tonight shows soon?

Oh :poo: !!!
I forgot all about those Late Night appearances. :x
What was the talk show schedule again?

[Ark]

Since I quit my job, I applied at a movie theater. If I get the job, I'm fu(king set!

[BrandonVarnell]

I cant wait for this film, i read the script online and absolutely LOVED it.

Also, i heard Romero is doing the screenplay for The Crazies remake, cant wait for that and hes doing Diamond Dead (screenplay) and The ILL(witch i heard was canned :( )

[corgi37]

badzombienight! Legazuimo was supposed to be on last week. I missed it! Hopper i think is due on soon. Come one, some friendly Yank on this board must know?

All i recall is that Hopper is going to be on Conan.

Also, i heard Romero is doing the screenplay for The Crazies remake, cant wait for that and hes doing Diamond Dead (screenplay) and The ILL(witch i heard was canned :( )

Close.

Romero is an Executive Producer on The Crazies remake, which basically means he gets to be little more than a creative advisor and they can still call the movie George A. Romero's The Crazies. At least it will help get George's name out there on another big budget Hollywood movie, which can only help his career.

There has been very little movement on the Diamond Dead project for some time. I believe they missed their deadline to start production because George was working on Land of the Dead. Funding seems to have fallen through, but could be put up again (especially if Land does well at the box office and George stays on the DD project) so the movie isn't dead, just in limbo.

Romero himself has said, however, that his next project might be directing The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, an adaption of a Stephen King novel with King himself doing the screenplay. It's not strictly a horror movie, more of a fantasy adventure (think Stand By Me with supernatural elements) so it should be an interesting project for King and Romero.

As for The Ill... it's dead, it's all messed up.

[Some_Day...]

According to the UK Film Distributors Association, Land Of The Dead has been pushed back to September 9th in the UK. Which, of course, ****ing sucks.

[preacher]

no point getting it on pirate, with all the night scenes the copies going to be utter crap. youll spend the whole movie trying to figure out whats what.

unless a screener comes about ill wait for the cinema release

[goesaround]

I'm beginning to have my doubts the movie wont get cancelledc at the last moment!! STILL no IFC 'Dream Of The Dead' It was supposed to be on Tuesday 2:20 am to make up for the no show but no way. Now it is supposed to be on tonight at 6:45 according to the IFC apology. But it's not listed. What is up?? Yes they advertise a Living Dead marathon the day before the opening including Dream of the Dead be played all month...yeah where is it? You know what I think. I feel because it probally shows scenes from Day of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead and I bet the copyright people have it lockouted. That's my gut feeling. Either way where the hell is it? Any answers?

[preacher]

i hate to say this but if i owned the rights to Dawn and Day, id want footage to be shown on the Land trailers, ild want footage to be shown on tv specials

I mean that Land trailer must be seen by god knows how many people, the specials too. And how many people upon seeing that are going to say "man i gotta see the original trilogy before Land." Or "Land looks good, maybe i better see what his previous dead films are like"

It seems they cut their nose off to spite their face. For the sake of denying the use of the original trilogy theyve done themselves out of goodness knows how much publicity

[Some_Day...]

I agree with you Preacher. I don't think they quite thought things through before just saying no for the sake of saying no!

[jackskellington]

It had footage from all three in the orginal trailer but then it got changed...There's a link somewhere in this thread to the original from last time someone was pissed about this.

[jackskellington]

Here it is!!! Don't know if it still works but I don't see why it shouldn't...

http://brother_d.blogspot.com/2005/05/land-of-dead-trailer-update.html

[Pain]

At least he got a reply!! Even if it was a disappointing answer :-(

[Quinn]

Got to see Document of the dead and now super psyched about the film. I had reservations that it was going to be a diffrent type of movie than the previous films, the documentary definitly showed that the film is Romeros only with clear film quality and special effects. One of the best things about it is that it shows scenes from the film specfically the scene with Blades, and I gotta tell ya it sent a little shiver down my spine. Essentially it follows the first two days of filming while also documenting Tom Savini's journey to the set and makeup job. You also learn that Romero has a 13 year old kid which is pretty wild, and that Tom Savinis is one of the most in shape 60 year olds on the planet.
Have a good day
Quinn

[Exile]

I'm still having dreams about there being an outbreak the day of the premier.

LOL

That would suck!

[corgi37]

Savini & Jagger - They cant be stopped.

[Bad Zombie Night]

badzombienight! Legazuimo was supposed to be on last week. I missed it! Hopper i think is due on soon. Come one, some friendly Yank on this board must know?

Corgi, I found the original article from Movies Online!
Link: Land of the Dead does Late Night (http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4267.html)

Yeah we did miss the John Leguizamo appearance on June 9th, but on June the 23rd, Dennis Hopper make an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Technico

[jackskellington]

Certainly wish I had IFC!! My in-laws have it, (or some kind of "indie" channel), at their house and everytime we go visit them I catch cool late night stuff like Bad Taste or Meet the Feebles. Oh well, only 8 more days and my cravings will be satisfied.

[Quinn]

The official site has updated, you may now play loot and shoot. It is an FPS and extremly advanced for a flash game, and is more creepy and scary than the entire Resident Evil movie series which isnt hard but still. Its a fun game but a little cheap, the zombies can get within spitting distance and the game automatically makes you stand there like a goof while you get eating by a really bad pixelated zombie face, still fun though.
Have a good day
Quinn

[jackskellington]

Thanks for the heads up Quinn!!

[jackskellington]

Very cool game!! 110% better than the Dawn 04 site game. Also, the music is probably what we're gonna hear in the movie rather than that nu metal crap that plays on the trailer.

[jackskellington]

from what he said it look like the zombies are incrdibly smart, and im not too sure about their aim evolving from simply kill and eat to something more personal

though well see when it opens

(but those talkbackers seem like a right bunch of idiots)

[Kemper]

I am going to watch with a completely open mind.

I won't ruin my experience by comparing while i watch if you know what i mean.

[Quinn]

There is another fan review on the front page of bloddy disguisting which gave it a 3/5. Both reviews seemed kinda simple and payed more attention to the attacking scenes then the allegorical aspect of the movie. Why people find the smart zombies a reason to roll their eyes is kinda beyond me, becuase the reviewer then goes on to refrence ROTLD which had smart but really kinda silly zombies. I dont know, I have a feeling that the combination of a plot that involves some noggin work and the intelligent zombies may lead the general audiences to kinda shy away from it. My interest in a Romero movie is mostly the story. Violence comes a distant 2nd. Also those talk back section on the movie sites are always filled with dumb wankers.
Have a good day
Quinn

[zombie2005]

The Game is tight, should have been different levels but its awsome.

If City of the Dead is the same, I'm buying it.

8 more days hurray

[preacher]

i think people will be accepting of smart zombies to a degree.

shooting guns yes, wandering places they used to go to when they were alive yes, hunting for humans to eat/kill yes.

but the movies conclusion (as described in that guys review) lifts the intelligence of the zombies to a level that is barely indistinguishable from the humans

its not long since day of the dead where, after many mistakes and an intense amount of conditioning, the doctor just about trains Bub to pick the phone up.

Yet we're supposed to believe that in the short period since Day, the zombies in Land have progressed to doing all these highly advanced things without any conditioning or assistance?

i just hope the progression of the zombies intelligence is based on what would logically happen to them and not just used as a plot device.

sadly from that review it sounds more like plot device

i still think its got possibility to be the best zombie movie ever made though

[jackskellington]

Here's the IFC schedule for Dream of the Dead for the whole month...

http://www.ifctv.com/ifctvflash/media/ifc_pulp_flash/dead.html

[warior 13]

I saw a thing on it on e-talk dayly when my mom was watching it, it said stuff about George Romero and his series so people don't think its the first in a series or a stand alone movie.

[Quinn]

As far as what I got from reading the script the conclusion of the film is alot more settle than what the reviewer states. Also I read some other reviews from the guy and he kinda has weird taste, some movies he likes are kinda dumb and he doesnt always fully explain his reasons for disliking a film. He just kinda states that a movie was bad becuase it was not gory enough to keep his intrests but doesnt really say how that affects the movie quality or story telling. But I digress, the big dark horse of the summer for horror fans is supposed to be Devils rejects, everyone and their mom who runs a horror site seems to be going all weak at the kness about it but I could really care less (not really my cup a tea).
Have a good day
Quinn

[warior 13]

Well I'm all excited about this cause zombie movies are my favourite kind of movies, I could care less about the Devils Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses wasn't that good of a movie anyways.

[Pain]

Just watched the GAR tribute. Pretty cool except I thought Clive Barker was gonna burst into tears at any moment! :lol:

[jackskellington]

And what's with his voice? Does he smoke like a carton a day or something? I guess it's been several years since I've heard him speak so seeing him again now with more age on him kinda threw me off.

[Pain]

I'm sure he didn't sound like that when i met him. But then again that was 15 years ago! Maybe he was just excited!

I know this belongs in another forum, but I'm excited as hell about Devils Rejects. Sure, the big one is Land but come on now, 1000 Corpses was awesome!!!

[corgi37]

That review is crap. "BOB" indeed! And yeah, that "TADY" is one big ass loser. Betcha he/she is 15. Dawn boring! I mean, come on! Like yeah, dude.

Just my 2 cents.

House of a 1000 corpses is one of the worst pieces of crap i have ever seen.

It wasnt thrilling, scary or even sexy.

It was down right annoying.

[Rookie]

Why do you say that?

[preacher]

I saw a thing on it on e-talk dayly when my mom was watching it, it said stuff about George Romero and his series so people don't think its the first in a series or a stand alone movie.


i think the whole marketing plan isnt based on the LOTD movie its based on GAR and his legacy

The trailer, that tv special and virtually everything thats coming out is heavily pointed towards the fact that hes the master of the zombie films

As opposed to the individual merits of LOTD

[Zombielover]

I think it's the way it should be. If Bub was evolving in Day it makes sense that the zombies would continue to evolve I love the way someone put it the "The zombie butcher will suddenly realize he has a meat cleaver in his hand and figure out how to use it instead of just carrying it around" orsomething like that

I can't wait I get to go on Tuesday too !!

[Slumlord]

All the zombies were sort of evolving in Day of the Dead. Remember, what the one lady (can't remember her name but she was the only female in the movie) said when the zombies wouldn't come close to the corral? "They're learning, they know what will happen to them."

I just hope the "thinking" process for Land of the Dead is gradual and not something like divine intervention or something silly like that.

[Zombielover]

Yes Very true they did get them interested after enough banging and yelling
They also seemed to fear fire from the get go in NOTLD which I guess could be a learned response although it could just be instinct

[Zombie Mark]

Well, a week to go and I can't wait!

However, I'm wondering why there hasn't been more advertising on network TV. I remember seeing commercials for DOTD '78 on the major networks for at least a few weeks before that came out, though when Day came out I was in college and didn't see much TV at the time.

Is the lack of mainstream advertising a result of the present availability of specialized programming outlets (SciF Channel, IFC, etc.) and the Internet, or did they just drop the ball on this?

[NEODOG]

This is just me but I always thought that zombie's main advantage was that they were devoid of any kind reasoning. I know this sounds a little wierd but think about it, An outbreak would just pop up somewhere and there wasn't a whole lot you could do about it. They didn't use generals or strategy and you couldn't fight them because you wouldn't know where where to begin.They just were.They where a plague like locusts(or tribbles) and
the only thing you could do is try and quarintine the affected area before it's too late and if the quarintine broke you had to strongpoint you're position and try to wait it out,and that was it.

If they have a strategy ond they have objectives that makes them predictible and you can anticipate their next move.If they have a leadership then they have a target that can be taken out to cause confusion within the ranks and that makes them vulnerable.

But that's just me talking.

[jackskellington]

Went to a local bar last night wearing my Dawn 78 t-shirt and was approached by a guy who started asking all sorts of questions about zombies and seemed very educated on GAR's stuff. Anyhow, he started talking about Day and claimed to be the son of Gary Klar who played Steel. He showed me his drivers license and sure enough he has the same name but I was still weary. He told me that his dad will be in town this coming Monday for three days and that he would contact me so I could meet him so we'll see what happens. I asked him a few questions, though, to check out his authenticity and he stated that he and his dad are from Connecticut, that his dad and Ralph Marrero, (Rickles), were best friends in real life and that the opening scene to Day was filmed in Florida and the rest was in a mine of some sort around Pittsburgh. Oh...He also said that Rickles died last year or something, (Too many beers to remember!). I know this has nothing to do with Land but I wanted to see if anyone out there could vouch about any of that info and I figured this was the heaviest visited thread.

[preacher]

surely thats a case for googling if ever ive seen one?


rickles died in 1991

[Tom K]

When I talked to Klar last year, he said he had a son that played football for Iowa I think...He asked me where I was from to which I said Northern Illinois and he said was familiar with the area from the road trips...

If Klar is at the premiere on Wednesday, I can mention something if you want...

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

Apparently the sequel talks have already started, I am not sure if this was posted but I found it at darkhorizons.com

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050617h.php

"Land of the Dead" is the follow up to the classic George Romero 80's film "Day of the Dead" and if all goes well with this new release it will the beginning of a whole new "Dead" series.

The producers and director George Romero told the IESB that a sequel to this new film will made if this film is successful. Considering that "Land of the Dead" cost less than 20 million to produce, DVD sales alone should guarantee a profit to the studio.

In fact, all other projects of the helmer will have to take a backseat in the immediate future if Universal decides for an immediate follow up to "Land of the Dead" including his involvement in Mick Garris' Masters of Horror Anthology that is currently being filmed in Vancouver.

The next film will be a second chapter to the story that we see in Land of the Dead, we will see the surviving characters continue their search for survival in what has become a World of the Dead.

[Some_Day...]

I can't quite figure out if this is a good thing or not...it might all become too 'Hollywood'. And Romero certainly won't be able to do the kind of films he likes to do.

[MonsterHunter]

So the next one wil titled World of the Dead?
Cool, I like it!

:)

[MonsterHunter]

Hey MonsterHunter...Have you watched that new trailer? Where have we heard about the dark room with chewing sounds before? Check out the Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things Remake thread posts #32 and #34!!

They stole your idea man, or did you just read the script?
Just kidding!
:)

That scene was killer!
Makes the wait even harder!

[Darth Erroneous]

I can't quite figure out if this is a good thing or not...it might all become too 'Hollywood'. And Romero certainly won't be able to do the kind of films he likes to do.

Yes and no. Romero never had to bow down to Hollywood in the past. They undoubtably came to him as the zombie genre was being revived. I believe that Romero will find new resources and make new connections that will enable him to create a strong foothold in Hollywood which will enable him to create whatever production he wishes (perhaps a new "crazies") It will be "Hollywood", though. We will see it in the acting and the effects that will lend a more modern and realistic mood to the new dead series. Plus, I see Romero bailing out before Hollywood could taint his baby.

[goesaround]

I hope their is a series. In the script for Day of the Dead that never was made. Miguel gets bitten but the movie end with him 'not' awakening! A reverse ressurection! Anyway I would like to hear more Metaphysics like in Day' "Maybe he wanted to remind us he's still boss man" or the now famous "When their's no more room in...." More speculation both Spiritualy and Scientific without a definite explanation. The question is always more interesting then the answer. More Romero Yes.. One last thing in regards smart zombies. In Night 68 the blond zombie bashes the headlight of the pickup truck!!!

[Bad Zombie Night]

I keep going to the movie main site, and I can't get enough of 'Shoot & Loot.' :guns: Best I've done so far is level 2 and 1200 points.

Has anyone downloaded the screen saver? I think it's a crock of :poo: ... After it starts, it plays through, and then stops screen saving... Anyone else see this?

[zombie2005]

I read some of the orginal day of the dead script and romero had that 5 years after night of the living dead.

So land of the dead is 5 years after also.

Anyone know how long after day of the dead, land of the dead takes place?

[corgi37]

Not sure. But "GOESAROUND", you are wrong buddy. Miguel dies near the start of the script, not the end. The start of the Day script 100% says "1985", but Romero has set his movies "in the present day".

I think Dawn is a matter of weeks after Night, and day is like 5 years after Dawn.

I havent read anywhere where GAR has given LANDS time line. To me, it makes more sense to have it set AT THE SAME TIME AS DAY!!!!

Yes, i know, sounds a bit dumb, but i really believe it pans out better.

Cause alot of the scenarios make no sense if LAND is set, say, 10 years after DAY.

As i have stated some of these reasons before:

Money is useless - to me, that is one very big real weird thing about LAND.
Fuel loses its combustability after about 6 months (i know, i have a lawn mower with a full tank in my garage right now that WILL NOT start!)
I find it really odd that the stores they raid, UNIONTOWN, still have stock in it. I mean, come on, wouldnt they have raided it by now? Really, they'd be going 100 miles in all directions for a stale pack of smokes and a bottle of water. Mind you, why arent they growing food?????????
Ammo if not stored right, perishes real bloody quick.
Clothes would rot too. Aint too many tailers seen in LAND, i bet!
How would they make toilet paper?
All canned food would be off. ANd, i mean all! So, like, how many farmers are in LAND?

I could go on. Thats an aspect of what i anticipated GAR might go into in his 4th film, but i guess all that self-sufficent stuff got in the way of the story.

Pity, but its all just minor quibbles.

But, hey, makes ya think, huh????

[corgi37]

Oh, wow, 1 more thing.

Where do they get the fireworks from?

The local Chinatown?

[Bad Zombie Night]

Here's an article from Moviesonline that was posted yesterday... It's been talked about before that if GAR does well with LOTD, there could be another sequel on the way.

Good stuff! Spoilers possible.
Article: George Romero ready for more Zombie movies ! (http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4493.html)


I don't know how well Land will do at the box office, but here's the competition it will face when it opens at theaters come next Friday.

Rank / Week / Film

2 .... Batman Begins
2 .... Mr. and Mrs. Smith
3 .... Madagascar
4 .... Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
- .... Bewitched (Openning)
Then the week after, War of the Worlds opens (7/1/05) & the week after the Fantastic Four movie will be released.

I don't know, but I get the feeling it will not do nearly as well, as when Dawn '04 opened. :roll:

[Bastard Turtle]

Well, fire works are pretty simple things to make, really. All you need is something combustible, something to hold it in with one open end so that when the substance is lit, all the thrust comes out of one end, and then a small piece of metal to run electric current through as fuse.

There you go, plain and simple.

[preacher]

probably been posted before but a clip from the film of riley and john leguzathingy talking...

http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4509.html

also a new clip including big daddy firing a gun at Dead reckoning...

http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4510.html

the guy whos playing "riley"s been optioned for a sequel?

guess we know whos not getting chomped in this one then

[Bad Zombie Night]

also a new clip including big daddy firing a gun at Dead reckoning...

http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_4510.html
This is one of the things I hate about this movie. :puke: :x



I also hate it when John Leguizamo (Cholo) speaks... Does he have to slur every word? :roll:


Btw... Excellent post preacher! Nonetheless, I enjoyed the clips . http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/ThumbsupYellow.gif

[corgi37]

Big Daddy's make up is bloody weird.

And again, i find his "roar" quite bizarre.

Dead Reckoning looked pretty cool though.

Oh, and riddle me this.

How do they get the power for Fiddler's Green?

[zombiekilling101]

guys, im i the only one that doesnt really like the way big daddy looks?

and the zombies roaring in the trailers is getting on my nerves, what happened to the moans damnit!

and its probably big ass generators that power it up corgi.. or something with the river.

[Zombie Survivor]

What are you all talking about? Big Daddy is cool all the zombies are cool. It's like you all are against this (probably) awesome movie. But the zombies make-up does remind me of RotLD 2... It's very cool though :) :zom1:

[Bad Zombie Night]

guys, im i the only one that doesnt really like the way big daddy looks?.
Yeah... The make up is perhaps a bit overdone. :roll:

what the hell? when have i ever said i was against the making of this movie, just dont like some of the new things romeros doing... thats it. So i dont like big daddys look, big deal

[zombie2005]

I dont think money in land of the dead is werid. I mean if you look at the government today, if a war or something bad happens the government has a way to make sure money is still good.

I learned that on television about undergraound bunkers, and havig the government still work.

SO this movie being the politicians are still in charge of this community that is left over.

money is just a symbol of power.. .at least i think.

and i dont think hes a politician, just a rich mother f'er with lots of money and able to use it to strike fear into his underlings which in turn allows him to rule without anyone trying to overtake him, until now muahhahh

[Bad Zombie Night]

I dont think money in land of the dead is werid.

I have to go with Corgi on this one... Money or what is inherently valuable is a relative concept. But in the world of Land of the Dead, I can't see any currency being a viable source of trade in their economy.... Food, water, and the other necessities of living would be the basis of their market... Not dollars, and rare & precious metals.

it shouldnt be valuable, but the leader is trying to cling on to the old society with the only thing that he has over everyone else, which in fact is money.

[Bad Zombie Night]

it shouldnt be valuable, but the leader is trying to cling on to the old society with the only thing that he has over everyone else, which in fact is money.

I know of little drips, and drabs from the script, but I don't want to know too much... I remember in Dawn '78 when Peter and Flyboy were in the bank, and he took the money and Peter said, "You never know."

Even if Romero's society did cured their ills, and they got back on their feet, they probably wouldn't use the old currency anyway. :loon:

[jackskellington]

Hopefully Land will do well enough to warrant 1 or 2 sequels from GAR and these types of things can and probably will be addressed.

[goesaround]

Me I'm not a huge fan of the new look (Of course I haven't really seen it)of the zombies. I prefer Night of the living dead 78 and 90 the fresh look so to speak. HOWEVER, in the new uncut, or European trailer there was a short scene of the zombies milling about and it really looked like hell itself. I caught a glimpse of a animatronics woman zombie that was seriously awesome. She looked alot like the zombie holding the doll who goes from pathetic to killer in Night of the Livivng Dead 90 that Barbara blows away but with a head extension like Return of the living dead 3. It was one little creepy endomorphin happy scene. In less then a week we are all going to have a lot to sayhere

[jackskellington]

I prefer Night of the living dead 78

Typo, right?

[zombiekilling101]

we're also going to have to start land of the dead in the classic section. man i cant wait, shit i better call nirvroxx to get our plans straing.

Can't believe it's less than a week away now! What am I gonna have to live for on June 25th?!! Sequels, hopefully!!!

ive never seen a bad romero film..but than again ive only seen.. *counts... 5 romero movies including the dead trilogy

[jackskellington]

It's something to hope for! I like how at the bottom it says, "So everyone needs to get into the theaters to see this bad boy if we want more Romero! See it twice! Take your Mom!!" I admit, I get into the movies for free, (One of the perks to being a cop), but I'll be paying to get into this one so I can feel like I did my own little part in the success of it!!

[Bad Zombie Night]

If the general audience out there has your attitude toward Romero's film, the movie should do quite well.

[zombiekilling101]

If the general audience out there has your attitude toward Romero's film, the movie should do quite well.

whats that supposed to mean?

[Bad Zombie Night]

whats that supposed to mean?

Means, that if the general public likes Romero's work as much as you do, the film should be a major success.

What did you think I meant?

[zombie2005]

thats right see it 5 times heck make it 10 times, I want to see more romero movies, he will not wait another 10 years for another movie, he states if the first week does well he will work on another one right away, he gave away a spoiler which will introduce the next movie after land of the dead.

6 more days people, be prepared for the KINGS MASTERPEICE.

[Pain]

6 more days for you guys, 2 1/2 months for us :cry:

What a Pain

2 1/2 months huh that sucks, California I heard will premine land of the dead on June 17th.

Why California, why do they always get to watch the movies first?

Anyways I am prepared for June 24th, I am counting down the days, minutes and seconds till opening day.

:guns:

I mentioned this in the chat forum but thought I would mention it here as well... If anyone in the Seattle area wants a ticket to the LOTD advance screening, we here at Revenant Magazine have received a couple passes and posters. First come first served, each pass admits 2 people. Pm me if interested.

Screening of Land of the Land
When: June 21st at 7pm (get there early)
Where: Seattle at Pacific Place theater Downtown
Why: Because you love zombies of course

[Monkey Mech X]

He's seen very quickly, in a 2-3 second flash, he's leaning over a counter, maybe choking someone. It's in the trailer on TV, he's a yellowing zombie but the hair is the same.

[Detroit Dogg]

Sorry if this has been noticed before, but in the trailers on TV you can clearly see Bub scuffling with someone. I knew it! I thought I saw Bub in there!!! But from the way I saw it it looked as though he was chained to a wall......again......(Cue eerie music!)


~Dre

SWEET JESUS I JUST OPENDED THE 100th PAGE!!!! WOOO FOR ME!!!!


~Dre(again)

[Sadogoat]

I do believe that "Bub" lookalike is Simon Pegg's cameo role. He stated many times that he requested Greg Nicotero make him up to look very much like Day Of The Dead's No#1 zomb. However, I don't believe the character is supposed to actually be Bub. Simon and Edgar's zombies are both captured by the humans to be the subject of 'photo souvenirs'.

[corgi37]

I still cant see no Bub. But, Sado, i think you are right. Simon Pegg did ask to be made as Bub.

Buti just cant see it. Unless it the quick flash of the zombie in the cage, where "Slack" is introduced.

From what i know, Simon Pegg and Wright are zombies who you pose with a photo.

[Airborne]

Wow, if Bub is indeed in this flick he's quite a traveller. "Day" I believe took place in Florida and "Land" takes place (I believe) in Pittsburgh. That's quite a haul.

[preacher]

im sure if it was Bub GAR would have had the decency to ask the actor to reprise his role.

As it is the actors not in this so i guess Bubs not in it

[Bad Zombie Night]

Wow, if Bub is indeed in this flick he's quite a traveller. "Day" I believe took place in Florida and "Land" takes place (I believe) in Pittsburgh. That's quite a haul.

He must of been a hellava climber too, because in Day he was trapped with those other Zombies in that underground facility.

[SGT. DEATH]

Not long now for the USA,and then land of the dead will infect the rest of the world. :drinking:

[Detroit Dogg]

He must of been a hellava climber too, because in Day he was trapped with those other Zombies in that underground facility. :naughty: not so BZN!They could have easily accidntly sent the elevator back up! After all they accidntly oppended the elevator in Dawn!

Anyone know if there's going to be an advanced screening/midnight premiere/etc. in Toronto? Some radio station is doing a contest with a LOTD screening on the 22nd, but aside from that, I've heard nada.

Yeah.. You got me there DD... The control box still worked, but it was probably covered with Miguel's leftovers.
Bub could also climbed the ladder inside the silo, if he followed the same path Sarah, and the others did.

See plenty of options! Well I remember *very* clearly in the Brunch of the dead box set that Romero states that Bub can fly! WOOSH!!!! Super Bub! "Glawwwrrrbbbb! Must eet Ant Aweesha!"

Anyone else catch that "Dream of the Dead" or whatever on IFC? There were quite a few scenes featured which showed smart zombies, one of which was the Tom Savini cameo.

It was kind of weird, his character pushes away a human, and then slashes at him with a machete, but more importantly he doesn't really seem at all interested in eating him which kind of disappointed me. I find zombies to be a lot more creepy if their main motivation is to eat you rather then to slice you up or shoot you.

I seen a completey new trailer for land of the dead and the disturbing part is
a scene where a zombie was holding a guitar like as if he was playing.

I just hope that romero didn't make it out to be a comedy like that, I hate zombie comedy.
