It's my opinion, dude. If you don't like it, don't read it. I'm not changing it nor am I going to sit here & defend it all day. We're not going through these rounds anymore.

Then don't go around nitpicking what others say. I think at this point, no one cares about your opinions.

Joe Pilato is the coolest thing about this whole thing. And while it is a MAJOR cool thing, this whole movie still sounds stupid.

Sounds really fucking stupid, pointless, & unnecessary. Emphasis on the words pointless & unnecessary. This guy could've easily made his own stand-alone CGI zombie flick, but he figured he'd probably be more secure financially riding the coattails of a widely known Movie Title. Its not the CGI that bothers me, its that this movie won't bring anything new to the table, other then the director saying "look its Night of the Living Dead... but in CGI and 3D!" EDIT: I misread that it sounds like it will be more about the events prior to the farm house. And It sounds like finally we might get a visual account of Ben at Beekman's Diner, but I don't see how he can make a whole movie out of the characters backstories, there just wasn't enough material ... unless he invents his own. I'm definitely of the viewpoint that movies should only be remade once per decade (max)

Well it is going to be an origins-type thing so I assume that they're going to tell how everybody made it to the house. That's interesting because it's something I've always wondered myself. I just don't like that they're doing it with CGI but I guess that beats having a live action movie where others are playing these beloved(and assholish..lookin' at you Coopa!) characters.
I still think they should go with some animation instead of CGI but sadly CGI is where the masses have their minds at these days. Goddamn technology....
Oh & Mos Def is voicing Ben. I kind of like that choice too because Mos Def isn't your typical shit rapper that sings about bitches, hos, weed, & being crunk. He actually has talent & is a decent actor to boot.

Agreed about Mos Def. Did you see Be Kind Rewind? He was great in that.

Yep I like Mos Def as well.
I believe he was in "American History X"

Although the CGI aspect of it is lame, I can't complain about the casting choices. Now they just need to realize that CGI is lame & doing a remake/origin story of one of the most influential horror movies of all time that didn't require ANY CGI is a stupid idea.

Is there any idea if it'll just be the origin stories or will it delve into survival at the farmhouse as well?
To me it just seems like it'll leave things hanging if they just finish it when all the relevant parties have made it to the farmhouse. I mean anyone who's seen NOTLD knows what'll happen, but it won't feel like a whole movie to not wrap up the fates of the characters as well.

I don't like the idea of revealing how zombies came about. Well, it really won't be the real answer, since only GAR could give that. I like the mystery aspect.

Kind of like how we never got a glimpse into the upbringing of young Michael Myers when he just killed Judith one day. Then we got the whole white trash abusive upbringing in the remake, which totally just destroyed the character. The Thorn angle in Halloween 6 was kind of stupid but I'd take it over white trash beginnings. Some things are best left unexplained.

Indeed they are best left alone.
The kid that played MM did an okay job and all, I just didn't care for the pseudo-incest subplot and mask bullshit. Not to mention the bum stepdad, stripper mom and over-sexed sister. Blah.
