Just like we reported earlier, television is nowhere near done recycling every great entertainment memory you ever had into a TV series. At least now they are stealing from better source material. MTV is reportedly looking to turn George Romero's immortal (no ironic pun intended) horror masterpiece Dawn of the Dead into some kind of television series.
They haven't given away much in terms of details surrounding the show, how it will link to the original film or even when it might hit the air. They have noted the show will feature a mix of the classic, slow moving zombies and the latest fad of turning the undead into Olympic sprinters. It's good to see so much diversity on television.

George Romero's zombies to invade Medium this Halloween

Zombies are everywhere these days. The walking dead have invaded Marvel Comics, Jane Austen books, and they'll soon be chomping on brains in a galaxy far, far away. This Halloween, Patricia Arquette will face off against a classic undead army in an upcoming episode of Medium. That's right, Medium!
Show creator Glenn Gordon Caron said an upcoming Halloween-themed episode will insert Arquette's character into scenes from George Romero's original Night of the Living Dead film. It's part a dream sequence that would not have happened if the show had stayed on NBC.
