From Fango:

Fango got a quick update from screenwriter Jeffrey (TAMARA) Reddick about the DAY OF THE DEAD remake he has scripted for Millennium Films and Emmet/Furla Films. "The official start date for principal photography on DAY OF THE DEAD has been set for July 23," he tells us. "Everyone involved is extremely excited about the project. They're in the process of casting as we speak. Millennium and Emmet/Furla Films will be announcing the cast soon, and they've landed some really great, high-profile names for the film." We’ll bring you more updates on the new DAY, which will be directed by Steve (HALLOWEEN: H20) Miner, very soon.

From Bloody-Disgusting:

Variety officially confirms our scoop that Ving Rhames and Mena Suvari will star in Millenium Films' remake of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead. They also confirm Black Films' scoop that Nick (Monster House) Cannon will also be starring. Michael Welch, Annalynne McCord, Stark Sands and hottie Christa Campbell round out the cast for the film, which follows a group of scientists and military personnel holed up in an underground bunker because the world above is overrun with zombies. The lumbering flesheaters eventually find a way in and wreak havoc on the scientists who've been experimenting on their undead brethren. Steve Miner (Halloween H2O) is directing the zombie pic from a screenplay by Jeffrey Reddick, who penned the "Final Destination" franchise.
