Dawn of the Dead 2

[Officefan]

Horror favourite Tony Todd (“Candyman”, “Shadow Puppets”) is in talks to topline the sequel to [George A. Romero’s, not Zack Snyder’s version of] “Dawn of the Dead”.

Bloody Disgusting says the new flick will pick up where the original left off – with the survivors of a zombie plague boarding a helicopter for an unknown destination.

Interestingly enough, Todd appeared in a remake of “Night of the Living Dead” in 1990.
Fella must love him some walking dead.
Umm...

What the fuck?

Can someone discredit this? Fright? Anyone?

[steelba]

This sounds awesome! Tony Todd owns.
Any truth in this one Fright?

Checks database...

[K.I.N.G]

Hell yeah! That'd be mad.

[hackerslacker]

Romero throws his name on everything. Tony Todd rules.

[Chief Falling Rock]

I love Tony Todd and I think a sequal would be a good idea considering the first one never actually ended. But I'm not expecting anything better than the day remake or the day of the dead contagium thing, 2 movies I never saw but heard were horrible.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Doesnt make much sense.

Everybody died at the end of Dawn if you want go by the credits. Unless they ignore that. Tony Todd is a veteran in the genre but it would take more than that to make it a good movie.

If its real, I doubt it sees a theatrical release.

[smokey]

I would check it out for sure.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

I wouldn't mind watching this. Plus, Tony Todd is just an excellent horror actor. Any film with him involved I would watch :D

[BooBerry]

The thing I thought was this... would it take place in present day? Or in the 70's zombie infested world of the original DotD?

I wouldn't be able to get past that if they called this a sequel.

[koolmike]

With George in charge, I'm all for it.

F B-D

Are you talking about the credits at the end of the remake????

[BooBerry]

Are you talking about the credits at the end of the remake????

:lol: I was wondering what he was talking about.

:sure: that was the lame remake.:thumbsdown:

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Ya got me.

I was indeed talking about the Dawn remake. I read too fast I suppose or not at all.

So now were talking a sequel to Romero's film?

Unless we're talking about Ken Foree coming back and the other girl who slips my mind. Why bother?

Even with Tony Todd either taking over the role of Peter or playing a new character. It wouldnt make sense without the returning characters IMO.

[Misfit]

:nod: agreed on returning cast

[cmurdur]

so would he be playing the role of Peter?

[Misfit]

yeah

[Driden]

Even with Tony Todd either taking over the role of Peter or playing a new character. It wouldnt make sense without the returning characters IMO.

what returning characters if everyone is dead? why would you need returning characters if at the end of the movie they flew away in a helicopter, you think the same zombies should be able to catch up to them at crawling speed? the sequel could be in a totally different state. they only need *maybe* Francine since she lived in the first film but even then they could easily find someone else, hardly anyone remembers her face and she could have died between films

[cmurdur]

yeah

lame. as if Ken Forre is too busy.

[réÐþÁ†µ]

I suppose it would be alittle silly seeing an aged and much heavier set Foree and a much aged Gaylen Ross reprising their roles 20 sum odd years later.

Tony Todd will work if they decide to go that route. That said, nobody has yet to confirm this anyway.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

gonna watch the orginal one right now... I've only seen it like twice and both was when I was a kid.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

This is how the plot goes.....They enter an alternate dimension and everyone gets old. The End.

[steelba]

Frightster said he'd check in on this flick. So hopefully we'll no more in the future.

[Misfit]

fright will show us the way

[cmurdur]

I pray it isn't called "Dawn of the Dead 2".

[Officefan]

I pray it isn't called "Dawn of the Dead 2".
Can't think of anything more clever. Unless they add a colon and some lame ass zombie pun.

Wait, I got it! Day of... err... fuck.

[dead breed]

F this .. it'll be junk

Afternoon of the Dead.

[steelba]

I'd definatly like to see a sequel to it.

[Dr. Awesome]

Afternoon of the Dead.

Brunch of the Dead? :ahheh:

[steelba]

How about just Dawn 2.

[dead breed]

How about not making this movie at all...

[steelba]

How about :stone:

[Revenant]

i'll keep a tab on it, assuming it goes anywhere.


haha, and the mister snitch poster is back ahaha.

[koolmike]

I still can't believe the original script for Day of the Dead is on a shelf somewhere instead of being made into a film with zombie movies being "en vogue" these days so to speak.

[Bronner]

Personally, even though they don't show it at the end of "Dawn of the Dead" (1978), I feel like all four main characters died, because when Ken Foree and Gaylen Ross get in the Helicopter, Foree asks Ross how much they have left, and Ross replies "not much," then they fly off... I always felt that they crash landed and died after that, this way Romero still had the bummer-ending from his script for Dawn of the Dead only he didn't have to show it directly.

(In the original, 200-something page screenplay for Dawn of the Dead, the two remaining survivors kill themselves, Foree blows his brains out and Ross pushes her head up into the blades of the helicopter, the movie ends with the credits, followed by the helicopter blades spinning slower and slower, then stopping.)

But yeah, a sequel to Romero's "Dawn" wouldn't make much sense, but Tony Todd is cool.

[Bronner]

i dunno boner some of them are not that thoughtful

I think the only thoughtful zombie movie titles are "Night of the Living Dead," then "Dawn of the Dead," then "Day of the Dead," after that anything with "of the Dead" kinda loses it's meaning.

[Misfit]

some of em you stole from working titles for land of the dead :ahheh: admit it!

[Bronner]

Yeah, but if they're not actual movies, only conceptual titles, then they're mine. :D

[hackerslacker]

Bronner

you type a LOT.

[Bronner]

Bronner

you type a LOT.

Yeah, I do. Like there was this one time where I was up really late after drinking like ten cans of JOLT COLA, and by the time it was morning I had written three, two-hundred page screenplays based upon thoughts that were racing through my head all night. So I kept writing and stayed up about seventy-two hours and then finally walked about fifteen miles around my town and came home and collapsed onto my bed, where I found myself in the confines of a peculiar, dreamless sleep. When I woke up two days later I was super-hungry and had to go to the bathroom. So, after using the facilities and eating twelve Eggo Waffles, I drank some more Jolt Cola and continued to write second and third drafts of the first and second screenplays I had written a few nights prior. Then I did some touch-ups, and deleted them out of frustration and anger. Quickly learning the error of my ways, I attempted to recover my deleted files and then my laptop fell over and was completely destroyed. I was devastated. Now, I still write screenplays, but I do them one at a time, and not under the influence of caffeinated beverages, unless of course I'm working on something freaking epic, of course. Oh, the names of the two good screenplays out of the three I wrote were "Bane," a killer-car/revenge movie and "Doom," my version based on the first "Doom" game, this was 2003, way before the mediocre movie was made. Still, I feel I did a good job on these screenplays and am sad that I deleted them. Oh well, I guess that's life.

...what were we talking about again?

[dead breed]

You're like a smarter/less nerdy version of The Wiz OG :D

[Bronner]

You're like a smarter/less nerdy version of The Wiz OG :D

Sadly, I don't know who that is... But it reminds me of a story.

There was this one time where I was at my Aunt Betty's house and we were discussing movies that have made us feel uneasy, interestingly enough, the movies my Aunt Betty picked were mostly from the "Amityville," series. Now, being a big fan of the Amityville movies, I struck up a conversation with my Aunt Betty about whether or not the original two stories (The Amityville Horror and Murder in Amityville AKA Amityville II: The Possession) were true or not. We came to a conclusion, not that it's important and I bid my dear Aunt farewell and took my leave. I remember that day clearly, I had grown my beard and hair out fairly long and was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, unfortunately it was the middle of August and the temperature was like, 500 degrees Celsius. So, I walked all the way from my Aunt's town, back into the city, a distance of twenty-some odd miles, in the heat, dressed in winter clothing. Although I don't exactly remember why I was wearing winter clothing, I was, in fact. Along the way I came across an old wino who asked me for some money, I dug through my pockets and handed him a five dollar bill, he said that "Fortune would follow me for my kindness," and he walked off. I never saw him again. Interestingly, fortune has not followed me in any form or shape, at least not good fortune. On my way home I was struck from behind by some kid on a BMX bicycle, and broke one of my ribs, quickly before passing out from heat-exhaustion. The next thing I remember, I was sitting at home, watching TV. I must have walked the rest of the way without even knowing it. All I know is that my chest hurt like hell and I was in a galactic amount of pain. So I walked over to my medicine cabinet and took out some Tylenol and got a glass of water, put the pills under my tongue and swallowed them with a refreshing sip of the clear, cold liquid. After that, I went up to my room, checked my email and went to bed. About a week later my Aunt Betty was diagnosed with dementia, and we haven't talked since, because she's being kept at a hospice in an undisclosed location that I have yet to find out the address to. However, I have heard stories that she's been talking about her friends "The Carltons," coming to visit her, but what's sad is that the Carltons have been dead for fifteen years. But I suppose in that way, dementia is a twisted and beautiful thing, because you get to relive whatever parts of your life you want to all inside the confines of your mind. Oh well... what was the question again?

[FrighT MasteR]

UHM's "Master of Horror," Dan Walton, got a hold of Tony Todd's agent, who said that as far as she knows, Todd is NOT going to be in this supposed sequel.

[mrpuppetmaster]

Thats why.We will know he is WoG when he starts posting Power Ranger fan fiction threads.

As far as Dawn of the Dead 2. Romero's last few movies have been piles of shit. So I don't have much hope for this.

[koolmike]

[Cellar Dweller]

Ken Foree of the origional Dawn of the Dead said at the interview for Fango's Weekend of Horrors that he was not involved in this, and that it was only a rumor.
