Dawn of the Dead 2?
I was just browsing over at ZombieZoneNews.com (great site, btw) when this article grabbed my eye, and rammed it through a long splinter. Maybe that wasn’t the appropriate metaphor, but the site is reporting that Dawn of the Dead 2 is currently in talks. This makes total sense, and to tell you the truth, I’m surprised it has taken this long for these talks to surface. After all, the remake of Dawn of the Dead was the highest grossing zombie film of all time.
From the article:
Further, director Zack Snyder told SCI FI Wire that Universal Pictures has already approached him to make a follow-up to his hit zombie remake Dawn of the Dead, but that the movie won’t be a remake of George Romero’s own sequel, Day of the Dead. Snyder said, “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.”
But here’s the thing … would Dawn of the Dead 2 take place in a mall, or it would be following the adventures of other survivors in some other place? The hook of Dawn of the Dead was the mall and removing the mall from the equation sort of removes a large portion of the movie’s identity. Would Dawn of the Dead still be Dawn of the Dead without a mall?
What do you think? Would you see a new Dawn of the Dead if it didn’t take place in a mall?

i think it is a great idea, i think they should have the survivors from the first when the reach the island find more survivors, and either hide out on the island or continue looking for a safer place.
It’s time to get over the mall thing…In my opinion, if they are going to continue from th original, that it take place in somewhere much more exotic to start with and it can evolve from there. I’m thinking some kind of either regular abandoned army base or they discover an abandoned secret base while trying to get oil in an abandoned airfield…from there they realize that there is a secret gathering of people who lived and are planniing some way to meet up and escape so they try to follow but its really far and they have to land in the most extreme places and meet with people and people die etc etc, but basically it’s about making it to this extreme location, only way there is by helicopter?
We need a zombie movie where there is not slot of TALK TAlK … We need more zombie action and more guns and more military setting up road blocks.. Oh and please don’t make all the zombies run fast. Cause the last movie they all run the same and they run like in the olimpics. We need slow zombies..or crippled zombies and crawlers. And better zombie sounds. Cause in last movie the zombies sound like dinasaours from jaurassic park. We need a perfect scary and bloody gore zombie movie with action all the way.
