First things first – and this isn’t the point of this post – I’m not really looking forward to the Day Of The Dead remake. Why bother? Yes, I said the same thing about Dawn remake, and I really like that. And the Night remake is a really good zombie movie too – but why keep remaking Romero’s movies? Why not just make some new zombie movies, instead of having to try to cash in?
Anyway – the point. Rotten Tomatoes have posted a slice of news regarding the remake, in which it’s revealed that there will be fast, and slow zombies. Oooh, nobody ever thought of doing that one before – maybe this will be a great remake after all? Feel my sarcasm, zombie fans.
And that’s still not the point of this post. The point is that Rotten Tomatoes have confirmed that the remake will still “portray the character Bud”. Who? You know, Bud: ““There is a Bud character. It’s developed a little differently though but it’s definitely that character of the good zombie is in the film.â€?
Now, for a start, that sentence doesn’t even make sense. And for another thing: IT’S BUB, for Christ’s sake. So, we can assume one of two things from this post: a) The Day remake commits a terrible, terrible sin by renaming the Bub character to Bud – which assumes that you can overlook the even worse sin of including Bub in the remake at all; it’s not going to top the previous performance, is it? – or b) Rotten Tomatoes don’t know what they’re talking about…
IMDb has someone called Stark Sands playing Bud Crain so it looks more and more like it’s the filmmakers who are morons.
Never had high hopes for this anyway with Steve Miner directing.
