Posted by: MacReady

Screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick ("Final Destination", "Tamara") just gave our colleagues from Fangoria an update about the upcoming "Day of the Dead" Remake. Reddick also wrote the screenplay for the zombie movie, and already stated in an earlier interview that they try 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. Here's what he said about the upcoming filming:

"The official start date for principal photography on 'Day of the Dead' has been set for July 23. Everyone involved is extremely excited about the project. They're in the process of casting as we speak. Millennium and Emmet/Furla Films will be announcing the cast soon, and they've landed some really great, high-profile names for the film."

The new "Day of the Dead" will be directed by Steve Miner ("Friday the 13th Part 2", "Lake Placid", "Halloween H20"). The movie is a remake of George Romero's classic 3rd part of his zombie movies, "Day of the Dead". The story is set inside a sunken military complex, where Army and medical staff, supposedly working on a solution to the zombie problem, are going crazy.
