: DAWN OF THE DEAD was already moving in a more "epic" direction and the original draft of DAY OF THE DEAD was a natural progression of that. It's a tragedy that it was never made.
I know the whole series was an epic of sorts. To me, the original script seemed like it went from point A to point C without hitting point B. Dig?
: As for the DEAD T.V. series, THANK GOD that never happened! The most extreme, uncompromising, hard-core horror series ever adapted to a TELEVISION series? Sweet Christ, I'd rather be shot six times in the knees than suffer through that abomination.
I'm sort of glad too. They probably would've made it like some teeny-bopper "Buffy"-ish type series. It could work if it were a cable series that took itself somewhat serious & didn't take away from any horror/gore. Maybe even having a different story each week in a Dead world w/different characters.
