Millennium Films, Taurus Entertainment and Emmett/Furla Films, who helped recently remake "The Amityville Horror", are mounting a remake of George A. Romero's 1985 "Day of the Dead," which will be financed and distributed through Millennium reports Variety.
The original pic was set in a world overrun by pesky zombies bent on extracting a group of scientists and military personnel who have holed up in an underground bunker. It was a sequel to Romero's 1968 "Night of the Living Dead" and 1978 "Dawn of the Dead."
Universal Pictures released a remake of "Dawn" last year, which grossed $102 million worldwide. U will follow that with "Land of the Dead," which is written and directed by Romero and set for a June 24th release.
Thanks to 'Toxic'.
