Steve Miner ("Halloween H2O," "Lake Placid") has been set to direct Day of the Dead, the Millennium Films and Emmett/Furla Films remake of George Romero's 1985 zombie tale. "Final Destination" scribe Jeffrey Reddick is writing the script, reports Variety.

Romero wrote and directed the original, 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.
