I prefer the title and end sequences from the original Dawn of the Dead over the remake. Perhaps not as dramatic but it effectively prepared you for what came next.

Interesting.

Though we can’t find anything definitive on this issue, Art of the Title has decided that if this is indeed a lie, it is a lie we will happily live (see: Memento, Oldboy etc.)

The monologue in “Dead Flag Blues” was not narrated by Lee Marvin (who died in 1987). I don’t know if Godspeed ever formerly cleared up this discrepancy or not. Still, it doesn’t diminish the work. I get chills every time I hear it.

I personally loved this remake and thought the title sequence was on of modern cinema’s greatest, thanks in part to Johnny Cash.

…I remember feeling a bit of a let-down when the movie finally got rolling because the titles were so effective in establishing the story; the movie never really lived up to them.

I’ve often wondered where the “Lee Marvin” narration came from in that song, and whether that was, in fact, Lee Marvin…any more information on how the narration came about and how GYBE! got a hold of it?:

Apparently it was recorded by GY!BE member Efrim Menuck for a film he was working on, a project that still hasn’t been completed
