The forgotten Virus Rage Virus came 28 days ago (and has a Sly Star Wars connection)

The zombie movie underwent some great changes during the 1980s. since then He created “Mit Night” George A. Romero is a coma, as we know it today Return in 1968, The overall concept of Zombi did not decline much They are the dead who have been revitalized in the body and/or minds, etc.-but there was a lot of exchange regarding the origins, behavior and rules of zombies. Romero “Night” and “Dawn of the Dead” presented the emergence of a coma as a mysterious thing in a superb, and she followed many subsequent films, especially the dust from Lucio Fulci. However, others have taken a direct approach to the origins of creatures, with the likes of David Kronnberg (1977) and Umberto Lenzi “Nightmare City” (1980) adapts to the viral behavior of Romero Zombies (i.e. if you have beaten, you will become zombie) in regular paintings.

40 years ago, in August of 1985, two films were released, taking a look at the outbreak of the viral zombie through a distinctive American lens. Dan Obon “Return of Live Dead” Saw Saw Zombies progress in a corner of Louisville, Kentucky, thanks to the unpleasant value -added tax from a fictional bi -bi -weapon developed by the American army, which is called Trioxin in a way. While “Return” has enjoyed a beloved worship since its release thanks to its impressive makeup and hot feeling of black humor, the other AuguPie Adagpie movie was forgotten in August 85: “Warning sign” from Hal Barwood. The movie may not be loud like the “return” of the evil rocks, but it is not important to have a film. This is because, in addition to the lineage of film makers, it is a response to a “stars war” of trivia and represents the series “28 days after”. In the film, the secret government project, which causes a small but fatal outbreak of a zombie -like virus, is called a “blue harvest”, which was It was originally formulated by Lucasfilm as the title of Fu when it was “Return of the Jedi” filming. In addition, the origin of the zombie in the “warning sign” is not nuclear waste or a toxic gas to re -irritate it, but instead it is a virus that was created to lead to urge anger that does not wander in an animal or a living person, which is almost identical to the origins of the infected virus in “28 …” the privilege.

When the movie “Return of the Jedi”, which is the third movie in the original “Star War” trilogy, was preparing to start filming in the United States in late 1981, the local press began a day, Arizona to report that the following “Star Wars” was to be shot in its area soon. According to an article on LucasfilmThis has caused the co -producer Jim Bloom to go to the additional tendency to hide production from the press and the public. While the film had a work title for “Revenge of the Jedi” (This will be changed later to “Capricorn’s Return”Bloom invented the name of a symbol of shooting, which was “blue harvest”. The co -producer did not have caps and spots that were specially made to wear the crew during the shooting. Rather, they also reached a line of an official logo aimed at getting rid of the media from the smell: “horror behind imagination.” It is clear that hope is that the press will not intrude about a group of unknown horror movie. While the trick was often working, the dance was abandoned in San Diego Comic Kon in 1982 by producer Howard Kazanjian after the filming ended.

Although “Blue Harvest” has become a trivial and reference question during the knowledge of the degraded “Star Wars” since then, Barwood has done better after just a few years after the launch of “Jedi” by Kinda Make “Blue Harvest”. This was not just a Nardi reference, as well, as Barwood, along with the co -writer (and the director in itself) Matthew Robbins, was friends with George Lucas from behind during the days of their cinematic school. Barwood has been part of the Creative Lucas Circle Since then: He has worked as an antiquities painter on the first LUCAS feature, “ThX 1138”, and participated in writing (along with Robbins) “The Sugarland Express”. Later, Barwood began working for Lucas’s Spinoff Video Game, Lucasarts, where he helped make successful games in the “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars” privileges.

In addition to all this is the fact that Jim Bloom is one of the “warning mark” producers alongside Baroud. So, using the name “Blue Harvest” for the secret government project within the “Warning sign” is an internal joke among friends as much as it is a reference to “Star Wars”. In fact, it seems that Bloom and Parwood did not think at some point in summoning the movie “Blue Harvest”, which was among the first (if not the first) for a fake movie, Los Angeles “Menge” and “Thanksgiving”. However, the fact that the “blue harvest” is still part of the movie itself is sufficient to say that, in some way, the fake horror movie in the end has become a real movie.

according to October 1985 issue of CinefantastiqueJim Bloom saw a “warning mark” as “an intersection between” China’s syndrome “and” Night of the Live Dead “, which is somewhat accurate for the film. As with these examples, the” warning sign “is primarily as one movie, but in reality, the majority of the film occurred in the agricultural clicks ladder in Utah, whose cover was in the field of research. The weapons were detected, and it was a virus that was designed genetically and genetically designed and genetically designed. From the DNA of some wild horses that were indisputable in an indisputable way. And “after 28 years”), also. In this film, the virus is the result of the scientific experiments on the anger of chimpanzees, and both films explain how one small incident can be responsible for a world -threatening outbreak.

Although both films appear incredibly different on the surface – one is often placed in the same place while the other extends throughout England, for example – there are many similarities between the “warning mark” and “28 days” in addition to the origins of its viruses. For one reason, both films were released by a section of 20th Center Fox. For another, both films guarantee a symbol of biological danger as a major marketing component, indicating that these films about viruses instead of climbing Undad. (Ironically, Baroud originally wanted to call his movie “Biohazard”, which would continue to become the name of a common coma game after 11 years, The Americans are known as “resident evil”.The biggest similarity is how both films do not follow, although he was clearly honored for the “Dead” first Romero trio, Romero is presented with regard to a dark end. In the “Warning sign”, a treatment for the virus is found that allows its spread to stop, and although “28 days” does not have a completely happy ending, it still allows its heroes to survive in the ordeal. “After 28 days,” although it is around a virus, it is generally attributed to the revival of the zombie sub -type, and it is right in it. While the “warning sign” is very mysterious to share this address, it deserves more credit and attention.
