This marks George A. Romero's second time using the SCOPE format (2.35:1, 2.39:1, 2.4:1) for his Living Dead films. The first time was Land of the Dead (2005). The other Dead films were either shot in 1.33:1 (Night of the Living Dead (1968)) or 1.85:1 (Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985)).

Goofs
(at around 21 mins) In the back of the armored car when the boy shows the soldiers the video on his iPhone the cellular carrier name on the screen says "Rogers" which is a Canadian company. The movie was filmed in the Toronto area but the story at that point takes place in Pennsylvania where AT&T would have been the cellular carrier for the iPhone.

(at around 28 mins) When Francisco is swimming to the ferry you can see the actors scuba mask on the zombie he bites the finger off of.
Share this
(at around 22 mins) At one point Sarge Crockett smashes out one of the windows in the armored truck with the butt of a rifle. In reality, that is impossible since the polycarbonate "bullet-resistant" windows would not be penetrated even by a bullet, much less the blunt plastic butt of a rifle.

Q
What remakes and unofficial sequels have sprung from the "Dead" movies?
A
Remakes: The original 1968 movie was remade in 1990 as Night of the Living Dead and again in 2006 as Night of the Living Dead 3D. The 1978 sequel was remade in 2004 as Dawn of the Dead. The 2004 film is not a sequel to the 1968 film or either of its remakes. The 1985 sequel was remade in 2008 as Day of the Dead. The 2008 film is not a sequel to the first two "Dead" movies or any of their remakes. Note: Ving Rhames appears in Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Day of the Dead (2008), but as two different characters. The "Dead" trilogy is the only film trilogy to have been entirely remade.Unofficial sequels are too numerous for a comprehensive list. The following are notable examples: The Return of the Living Dead (1985) is an unofficial sequel to Night of the Living Dead (1968). The Return of...was followed by four sequels of its own: Return of the Living Dead: Part II (1988), Return of the Living Dead III (1993), Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis (2005), and Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave (2005). Zombi 2 (1979), an Italian film, is an unofficial sequel of Dawn of the Dead (1978), which was released in Italy as Zombi. Zombi 2 was followed by Zombi 3 (1988) and many other unrelated 'Zombi' films. Those who owned the rights to Day of the Dead (1985) made a straight-to-DVD "sequel" in 2005 called Day of the Dead 2: Contagium. Despite the title, the two movies are unrelated.
Q
Was this shot in the first person like "Diary of the Dead"?
A
No, the film was shot in a traditional cinematic style, although digitally with a Red One Camera instead of a traditional film camera.
