Sarah Polley as Ana looking sad towards a flaming zombie in Dawn of the Dead
Summary As his own acclaimed zombie comedy celebrates its 20th anniversary, Simon Pegg reveals the one issue he has with Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. The 2004 movie served as both Snyder's feature directorial debut and a remake of George A. Romero's classic of the same name, centering around a group of survivors trapped in a mall amid a zombie apocalypse.
And the thought of anyone just nicking the title . I always got annoyed at Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake — it’s a great movie. It’s really exciting. But I hated the fact they called it Dawn of the Dead, because that was George ’s film. They could have called it Deadish, which was a great line in the film that one of the actors used, and it still would have been a great film, but when you just take a title because people recognize it, it’s so disrespectful to the original.
Even with the positive reviews, there were some who shared similar critiques of Pegg and Romero for Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. The mall setting was one of the more notable differences between the two movies, with some feeling that the point of it in Romero's original was to be a satirical takedown of the rise in consumerism at the time, whereas the remake lost this element.
