Ving Rhames, Mena Suvari, Michael Welch, Annalynne McCord, Stark Sands, and Nick Cannon have all signed on to "Day of the Dead", Millennium Films remake of the classic horror film by George Romero reports Blackfilm.
The original "Day of the Dead" dealt with the zombie assault on a military establishment, satirizing the military mindset in the process. It was the third film in Romero's trilogy, a follow-up to the second one entitled "Dawn of the Dead".
"Dawn" was remade in 2004 and that film starred Rhames in a major role, however Reddick has stated this is NOT a direct sequel to that remake and should be seen as a separate movie.
Steve Miner ("Halloween: H20", "Lake Placid") will direct the film, Jeffrey Reddick wrote the screenplay.
