Day Of The Dead

[Zombified Jeremy]

This is the bleakest of the series to me.

Sadly, the original script wasn't used.

Land Of The Dead was sort of based on it.

The original script, for which George A. Romero couldn't get budget for, involved the scientists living over-ground in a fortress protected by electrified fences and the military living safely underground. It also involved a small army of trained zombies, and the conclusion to the trilogy more brutal than the current version.

The budget for George A. Romero's original script was estimated at $7 million, but he would only be given the money if he could film an R-rated film. He was told that if he went ahead and shot an unrated film with no limits on gore, the budget would be split in half to $3.5 million.

I have the original script if anyone wants it.

Although this film is definitely not as good as Night or Dawn I think it is better than Land. I also think this film is really good though and really under rated.

I still haven't seen Day yet, but I really want to.

You should get your hands on a copy fast. It truely is a great zombie film and much much better than Land. I actually find it almost on par with Dawn, but if you hate dialogue then you might be let down.

I think that this is an excellent film. I fluxuate between this one and Dawn sometimes as to which one is better. It depends entirely on my mood, as the tone of the two films is almost entirely different. This is a comment on Reagan era America, and is suitably bleak for that reason. Great film.

Yea. It is very bleak and thats what I like about it.
