Creepy.

I believe it's a fake. It was reported on CHUD.com, but I
can't seem to be able to access the site.

What's fake--the poster or the remake? My search turned up a March 26, 2004 release date, Universal pictures...and the fact that Ving Rhames is in it. Tom Savini has a cameo as a Sheriff.

Nothing too surprising in the plot summary:

As the United States is turned upside-down by a strange plague-like event in which millions of corpses walk the earth as blood-thirsty zombies (with the recently-deceased that the zombies kill usually returning as zombies themselves, multiplying their number), a small group of survivors of the onslaught, which include a nurse (Polley) and a police officer (Rhames), try to find shelter and protection within a massive shopping mall in the mid-sized city of Everett, WA. What they don't reckon on is that the zombies still have some sort of residual memory, and *everyone* loves going to the mall, right? Realizing that their time is running out, they decide to make another attempt at flight, to a presumably un-zombie-infested island, but to do so, they'll have to get past thousands of zombies in-between...

Mmm...zombie goodness. Let's hope the characters remember the cardinal rule of zombie survival:

Well if the post is fake they might want to hire whoever did it. It's damn cool looking.

Its a great poster, but given how children are put on a pedastal by society, most PR agencies would not let studios put out posters like that.

"credits not contractual" would seem to indicate the artist had no deal with the studio.
