Dawn of the Dead

Remaking a Film as groundbreaking as George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is pretty ballsy, even if you aren’t a brand new filmmaker. So Zack Snyder’s intent on reimagining the 1978 classic wasn’t just a testament to the young director’s tenacity and confidence, but some would have even called it stupid. Although, with great risk comes great reward, and despite its flaws, Snyder’s 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead is very much a worthy remake and addition to the zombie genre. But the filmmaker did have some help.
