[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1374585, member: 812"] I'll go on the record as being deeply skeptical. The original is a classic study of people under stress and a great satire of consumer culture. It's savage and funny and horrifying and despite what Mr. Romero might say, I think it's his best film (and there's stiff competition in that department). The trailer does not impress. Frankly, I think high-speed zombies are LESS scary than the old "shuffle-footed" style. The story becomes more about shocks and jumps and cool fight scenes rather than the remorseless, pitiless horror of Romero's zombie films. Now, haven't seen the movie, haven't read any reviews, just saying I'm skeptical. And don't hold your breath for a Dead box set. The legal situation around the first film is very complicated and to some degree Mr. Romero doesn't possess the full rights. I don't know the full story but it involves ownership of the negatives and a bogus "30th Anniversary Edition" that was released with all-new cuts made. The question of who own [i]Night of the Living Dead[/i] is a messy one, and it will probably only get messier if large new sums of money get involved. [/QUOTE]
