Summary
“You put Dawn of the Dead, Romero’s, and Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in the copy machine at the same time…” - Eric on this movie's vibe
On this week’s episode Remake-ril kicks off on WHM and we’re chatting about the pretty okay Zack Snyder feature debut, Dawn of the Dead!
A reimagining of George A. Romero's zombified capitalist critique, Snyder brought the franchise into the 21st Century with a more action-driven, but still fun vision. Shouldn’t James Gunn have written like, eight-to-ten fewer characters to jam in here? How amazing is Ving, as always? How eerie is that zombie baby? Could Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank have made a zombie outbreak documentary? And were we wrong about goofing on Richard Cheese all these years? PLUS: Could a zombie virus destroy the city of Duckberg?
Dawn of the Dead (2004) stars Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Mekhi Phifer, Jake Weber, Ty Burrell, Michael Kelly, Kevin Zegers, Michael Barry, Lindy Booth, Jayne Eastwood, Boyd Banks, Inna Korobkina, and Matt Frewer as Frank; directed by Zack Snyder.
