Jeffrey Reddick talks Day of the Dead Remake

Fangoria had the chance to talk to Jeffrey Reddick, who writes the screenplay for the upcoming remake of George Romero's "Day of the Dead". He couldn't tell much about the movie but he gives us a little info about what is planned. Read on for a snippet of what he had to say:

"All of us are working extremely hard to create a terrifying film that pays homage to George Romero’s original, while introducing audiences to a fresh vision of a world under siege by a zombie plague."

I'm a huge fan of George Romero and I wouldn't insult his work by just copying his movie with a WB-friendly cast. But I can tell you this: There will be a military facility with soldiers, scientists and civilians, there will be a Bub and yes, there will be blood - lots of it. Like the original, this DAY will be rated R."

I don't know if i'm wrong, but wasn't the original movie unrated? As far as i know, the budget was heavily cut because Romero didn't want to edit the movie. Anyways, i really hope the new "Day of the Dead" gets as good as the first 2 remakes of Romero's Zombie movies. We definitely will keep you updated on this movie, and in the meantime you can check out our classic "Day of the Dead" gallery by clicking on the "Salem's Lot" reading Bub.
