New "Dawn" Pics

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
Hallowed Ground Coffee Shop is where the "meetings" take place between the survivors (Rhames, Mekhi, Sarah Polley, etc.) and the security guards (Kevin Zegers, etc.) that "finally" let them in. Everybody kind of hangs out in their own stores, but they all "meet" at the coffee shop.

The "bloody chick" is Sarah Polley herself. She wears that outfit for most of the first part of the movie. Most of that blood is her husband's.

The busses are the arks.

Are Hallowed Ground Coffee Shops for real or just an invention for the remake? I wonder because it just occurred to me that the product placements could go into overdrive from them being in a mall. Which of course, would not be cool.

No, they're not real. That's just James Gunn's humor. It's in the script.

Good. I didn't think they were real. I must say, cheesy, but kinda neat.

Roots and a Panasonic store in the mall are real, everything else is made up (the Hallowed Ground Coffee and Book Store has a magazine rack with a copy of "Starlog" on the shelves, hilariously enough - I was like, "Where's Fango???"). Including the huge department store called...wait for it...

Gaylen Ross.

And yes, they did go after a BUNCH of people to do product placement in the film, but it's an R-rated horror film and they couldn't get sponsors to commit to an "R" picture.

Every time I find new pics, my anticipation for this film grows and grows.

Here's f ew things that were waiting for me in my e mail this morning:

***Possible Spoilers***
***Beware***

From another source (not The Dude):

I just finished reading eight pages of the Dawn of the Dead remake script, which was given to me by someone here . The scene I read was the part you've read about several times in just about every review of the script. It's the scene when the mall people try to send food across the parking lot to a man trapped in a gun shop in exchange for ammo, via a group of dogs.

I won't reveal too much of it but let's just say it is very, very gory. I'm pretty sure a lot of it won't end up in the final film. Things like dogs having the back half of their body blown off and still trying to crawl towards the living dogs with their front paws.

You also feel really sad for the little girl, named Nicole, who more or less owns the dogs. She doesn't want the men to send her pets out into the zombie-infested parking lot in the first place and then when the dogs start getting attacked, she breaks down crying, yelling into the bullhorn for them to run back. But there isn't anything she can do. It's a really tragic moment.

I think it will turn out to be a good scene but there's nothing really classic about it like in the original Dawn. Just a gory action scene

Possibly the coolest thing that I saw was a huge black scrawly painted message on a high wall of the mall saying "HELP ALIVE INSIDE" Not sure if those were all the words, but thats what I could see from the distance. I guess thats how the bikers or whoever will know there are people there since there is no helicopter on the room

Interesting that the filmmakers were after product placement. Imagine the potential for (mis)using the Starbucks or McDonalds or Nike brands in a DAWN OF THE DEAD film...

Not unlike using "Taxman" for an H&R Block commercial.

Here we have a film about our excess need for things with the potential of being remade to feature things people need. Argh I say.. Argh.
Ya know.. that whole slap in the face thing.

At least we're getting a zombie flick right?

I know, but that's what I'm trying to get at. This is a great opportunity to do Romero's film proud. If the filmmakers have got any balls, they'll secure some big name product placement, then go all SUBVERSIVE while the companies remain none the wiser. Bite the hand that feeds them with vicious satire dressed up in real life RECOGNIZABLE brand names.

Would be business suicide but they'd have my respect.

That would rock. I would did the hell out of that. If they did something EXACTLY how you say, then hell yeah. However, it's very unlikely

I gotta say, from the little tidbits of info popping out and descriptions, etc, I'm starting to look forward to this more and more.
I think the main reason is that "Dawn of the Dead" title aside, I'm starting to think of it as a possibly cool zombie movie rather than a remake of the classic Romero.
I don't know how truthful The Dude's spoilers are, but it seems like Gunn has gone in a different direction than the original (beyond the setting)--which is good news. Cause we don't need a remake of Dawn of the Dead....but we do need more zombie movies. Especially zombie movies that seem like they take place in the "Romero world" after NOTLD (cause that's how zombies shoudl eb in my opinion)
