Millennium Films (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9758#), Taurus Entertainment (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9758#) and Emmett/Furla Films are developing a remake of George A. Romero's 1985 Day of the Dead, which will be financed and distributed through Millennium, says Variety.

The original film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9758#) was set in a world overrun by pesky zombies bent on extracting a group of scientists and military personnel who have holed up in an underground bunker.

"Day" was a sequel to Romero's 1968 Night of the Living Dead and 1978 Dawn of the Dead (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9758#).

Universal Pictures released a remake of "Dawn" last year, which grossed $102 million worldwide. Romero's "Land of the Dead" is set for a June 24 (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9758#) release.
