MTV to ruin Dawn of the Dead


From slashfilm, The last time George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead went out for a reworking, pretty much the entire blogosphere shared my skepticism. Luckily, once Zack Snyder’s remake finally came out, most of us were satisfied that while he hadn’t ousted the original from it’s Best Zombie Movie Ever pedestal, he’d actually served up a film well worth caring about and taking seriously. Snyder even received great acclaim for the opening movement of the picture, and I can honestly say that I really love those first ten minutes or so in particular. Some controversy remained, however, primarily over Snyder’s decision to have his undead be fast runners, seemingly ignoring all common sense about what kinds of stress and strain a rotting corpse could take.
