According to Variety, the upcoming remake of Day of the Dead will be directed by Steve Miner ("Friday the 13th Part 2", "Halloween H20" and "Lake Placid"😉.. and it is also being said that Jeffrey Reddick ("Final Destination"😉 will be writing the script.
The film will be produced by Millennium's Avi Lerner and Boaz Davidson, Randall Emmett, George Furla and James Glenn Dudelson. Robert Dudelson, M. Dal Walton, Trevor Short and Danny Dimbort are executive producing with Paul Mason and Jordan Rush. Avi Lerner said that they are:
"Very enthusiastic about the marketplace's continued demand for new and exciting horror pictures, and we are please to have Steve helm this."
James Glenn Dudelson is known for directing the unofficial prequel/sequel "Day of the Dead 2: Contagium" together with Ana Clavell. So is this a good sign? I don't know, but Steve Miner made some very nice movies in the past, so lets wait till we know more before we judge this project. Who knows, it also could turn out as good as the "Dawn of the Dead" Remake.
In the original movie the walking dead have taken over the world. Only a small band of scientists and soldiers are definitely known to remain, and they have taken refuge in an underground missile silo.
The only hope for survival of the human race hinges on discovering a way to either control the walking dead or get them back into their graves for good.
