Day Of The Dead scribe Jeffery Reddick did an exclusive interview with the boys over at arrowinthehead.com concerning the release date of the film. Riddick says, ?I'm not sure when the movie's coming out. I know they're doing some reshoots very soon...and the production company, Nu Image, recently bought First Look...so they're still strategizing on the release date. They're aiming for a fall release, but it depends on how quickly they get the reshoots done.? I for one, am extremely excited about the release of Day Of The Dead because the film looks sick! Recently, at the Fango Burbank Con, I had the pleasure of viewing a clip and it is definitely action pack with guts and gore! Be sure to check our exclusive interview with Jeffery Riddick here.

According to arrowinthehead.com, DAY OF THE DEAD scribe Jeffrey Reddick was kind enough to give me a few bits of wisdom concerning the M.I.A. remake of George Romero's classic.

I'm not sure when the movie's coming out. I know they're doing some reshoots very soon...and the production company, Nu Image, recently bought First Look...so they're still strategizing on the release date. They're aiming for a Fall release, but it depends on how quickly they get the reshoots done.
Is he penning the new pages?

Yeah, I'm doing the re-writing...for the most part. Steve [director Steve Miner] does like to write sometimes too though. The good news is that Nu Image is really behind the film. I was worried after the low box office of recent releases...but it hasn't spooked them.

Brief news, but still interesting. Reshoots don't automatically mean bad things - it at least shows the company has enough faith in the project that they're not just going to dump it. Apparently, they're still gunning for a theatrical release.
