A few days ago, we reported that Steve Miner will be helming the 'Day Of The Dead' remake. Now fangoria.com had the opportunity to talk to screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick ('Final Destination') about the project. Here is what he had to say:


I’m thrilled to be working with Steve Miner and the team at Millennium Films and Emmet/Furla Films on the new 'Day Of The Dead'. Steve has directed some of my favorite genre movies,'Friday the 13th Part 2', 'House', 'Warlock' and 'Halloween: H20'. All of us are working extremely hard to create a terrifying film that pays homage to George Romero’s original, while introducing audiences to a fresh vision of a world under siege by a zombie plague.



I’m sworn to secrecy on specifics, but this won’t just be a rehash of an old film. I’m a huge fan of George Romero and I wouldn’t insult his work by just copying his movie with a WB-friendly cast. But I can tell you this: There will be a military facility with soldiers, scientists and civilians, there will be a Bub and yes, there will be blood—lots of it. Like the original, this DAY will be rated R. - [frank]
