Day of the Dead

When they the remake of Dawn of the Dead made a bunch of money it was only a matter of time before they remade Day of the Dead. I've know about it for a while but today I heard some casting news. Signing on to the film are Ving Rhames, Mena Suvari, Michael Welch, Christa Campbell, Annalynne McCord, Stark Sands, and Nick Cannon. The film is going to be directed by Steve Miner and is set to come out in 07. Miner has directed 2 Friday the 13ths and 1 Halloween film so I'm sure the film is in good hands. They say it is not going to be a direct sequel to the Dawn remake and will be a stand alone film. I wonder how much of a role Ving is going to play? When I heard they were going to remake Dawn hearing that Ving was cast in the film was the only thing that calmed me down.
