DAY OF THE DEAD redux has nabbed a director. His name ain't George A. Romero, but...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. As a remake I didn't like DAWN OF THE DEAD. As it's own zombie movie it's pretty well done. However, if you're going to attempt a remake of a classic movie you have to life up to or compliment the original. If you're not planning on doing that, then change the title. So, I'm not sure what I think about the next in line, the remake of Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD, which is going to be directed by... Steve Miner!

I'm a big fan of Steve Miner's work. FRIDAY THE 13TH 2 and 3 are a couple of the best entries into the series, I friggin' love HOUSE, dug FOREVER YOUNG when I was little, love LAKE PLACID for all it's goofy glory and even really liked H20. I also really loved WARLOCK as a kid, but I haven't seen it since those days.

I like this idea of going with a horror film vet instead of a music video hot shot. I love Bub and while I wish I could have seen Romero's full vision of DAY OF THE DEAD (pre-restrictive budget), I still have a very soft spot in my heart for that movie and don't want to see it fucked up. What do you folks think?
