That is one thing. It is just that original concept of "Day of the dead", when Romero wanted to do something which finally we could see now in WWZ: epic, over-30-mln dollar zombie apocalypse - his concept has been tamed and blocked by producers back in 1985, so it all (literary) went underground :) still, you've got memorable scene of self-sacrificing Muslim there, so all this concepts with "zombie as metaphor" were already used. His new trilogy is quite poor, in my opinion, more like cashing of his past' fame - apart from "eat the rich" in "Land of the dead" :). According to some sources, first script of WWZ gave impression of first Oscar - nominated zombie movie. Well, it didn't really worked out this way...As you have mentioned "Olympus..." - three MONTHS after it's premiere, we've got "White House Down", which almost copies it's ideas. And, yes, yours truly favorite Roland Emmerich directed it :D plus, in September, they will be a premiere of TV series entitled "Hostages" - again, US government and president as targets! They seem to shit their pants, or suggesting another plot? Time will tell.Cabalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440748171335288801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907980016894811549.post-65787379950801444692013-06-05T23:14:46.745+01:002013-06-05T23:14:46.745+01:00Not seen that, Joe.
