I worry that they are moving away from the comedy angle which is what made the first one work. On the flipside if you are going to remake a picture then try something different than the original.
I'll give it a chance.

Needs more zombie action and less standing around playing dress up.

What the hell is wrong with watching the original?
And if "no one" wants to watch the original any more, then why remake a movie no one cares about, that will probably fail at the box office as well?
The movie is really nothing more than a comedy version of "Night Of The Living Dead"... I don't see what there is to be gained by remaking it. What new angle can they add to this, that hasn't already been done a thousand times in other movies?
I actually enjoyed the original, and I will give this remake a chance, but I think the studio is just wasting their time.

These assembly line remakes of horror movies from the 1970s and 1980s rarely approach the originals for me, but I'll give it a try. The new directors tend to fall into oblivion, or fade into tv, as expected.

Throughout her career, filmmaker Roxanne Benjamin has expressed her love for the 1984 cult-classic Night of the Comet, leading towards the announcement in 2018 that she was finally developing a new take on the concept, though Benjamin recently confirmed that some behind-the-scenes shakeups have seen the project stagnate. When the remake was announced, Benjamin was reported to be developing the script, though with Orion itself going through a number of major changes in the years since, she confirmed that her take on the project is still in limbo. Orion most recently was part of an acquisition by Amazon, potentially complicating matters further or resulting in the project finally moving forward. "That's an interesting one. It's still alive, just not really in the same iteration, but it's still kicking," Benjamin revealed to /Film. "It's gone through a lot of different -- everything's consolidating with everything. The snake is eating itself in our industry right now. So it's gone through a lot of different hands, I think, throughout the process, but it's still out there." Benjamin continued, "There's other stuff that's going on with it. That movie division, I think, is gone now, or I can't even remember. I think Orion Pictures, they stopped doing their own features and they were just doing pickups at some point. So their original features division kind of stopped being active. That was a couple years ago. The original script that I wrote was part of that group. So now it's in that weird limbo where that can never exist because it is in this entity that, I don't know, it's a bunch of business affairs stuff."
