DAWN OF THE DEAD 2
Zack Snyder talks Dawn of the Dead 2 , New Sequel

Not only did the unrated director?s cut DVD from the ?Dawn of the Dead? remake movie hit the shelf today, now Zack Snyder also surprises us with great news. The director told SCI FI Wire that Universal Pictures has already approached him to make a follow-up to his "Dawn of the Dead" remake. But that the movie won't be a remake of George A. Romero's own sequel "Day of the Dead".

"It's fascinating, because it's the sequel to our movie. I was like, 'We should do a sequel to Day', but they weren't interested."

The director said that he and screenwriter James Gunn diverged from the rules Romero created for the original Dawn, which rendered it difficult to continue remaking Romero's movies.

"Inadvertently we created a whole different world. We went off, and in a lot of ways the rules that George created don't apply at the end of this Dawn."

Snyder said that his original idea for the remake may have made subsequent films harder to develop.

"I always wanted to make a movie where the zombies won from the beginning. I think I demonstrated that in the first 10 minutes. It doesn't take long for them to really kind of win. It's more about, like, you're in an air bubble."

According to the director the talks with Universal have begun, but the project does not have a definite start date.

"We kicked around some ideas, but I don't know what we're going to do with it. We've talked about it. I met with James. I met with the producers. The heat comes on and off of that. I think Universal wants it bad."
