Movie
Syfy is getting into the zombie business. The basic cable network has made a straight-to-series order for Day of the Dead, which THR calls an ode to George A. Romeros 1985 feature. The low-cost feature is set to launch in 2021. Per THR, Day of the Dead tells the story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.

Day of the Dead was not about the first 24 hours of “undead invasion” That would be closer to Night of the Living Dead.
Day was originally to be about a weaponized zombie army to take out the opposition zombies.
They’re going to turn it into a racism morality play.
I wonder if it will be filmed in Portland =)
