This doesn't bother me. I've already heard that the original Day of the Dead is terrible, have no interest in seeing it, and hence, do not object if another film maker would like to take a stab at it.
Remakes aren't ALWAYS terrible. The remake of Scarface is better than the original (though the original is awesome for how it pushed censorship at the time and still has its place). I like both Dawn of the Deads equally, for different reasons. I feel that assuming something original to be always be superior is heavily misguided.
Steve Miner has recent stinkers on his resume, mainly Lake Placid and Halloween H20. I didn't see all of the original Warlock, but the 1st 30 minutes looked decent (I was watching it to pass the time before going out). He also directed Friday the 13th 2 and 3, showing that he's not some new, young director that's obsessed with quick camera movements and all the other horrors that plague the terrible state of the horror movie industry nowadays.
Maybe I'll see Day of the Dead, if I come across the trailer and find it interesting. :shrug: I didn't think Land of the Dead was great, though, so perhaps Romero has lost his touch. I haven't seen anything by him that I've loved since Creepshow, Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead (but I've only seen LotD since then).
It has... by George Romero. http://imdb.com/title/tt0088993/
There were 5. Two more were released in 2005, it seems. I never cared much for them, but one or two may be watchable.
