Day of the Dead is a horror film which is remake of George A. Romero's classic zombie film of the same name, which was the third in Romero's Dead series. The film is directed by Steve Miner and written by Jeffrey Reddick. Although not related, it features rapidly moving zombies similar to Zack Snyder's previous updated version of Dawn of the Dead as opposed to the slowly shuffling zombies of the original Romero series. It was originally set for theatrical distribution, but was instead released directly to video. It received generally negative reviews. The film was principally shot in... Bulgaria, with limited shooting in Los Angeles, California. Tyler Bates provided the soundtrack, and screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick has a cameo appearance as an ill-fated police officer. The movie begins in Leadville, Colorado. Trevor and his girlfriend, Nina , are in an abandoned building having a romantic encounter. They then head back to their respective parents' homes. They see a long line of cars at a military roadblock sealing off the city.
