In fact, for the most part, the Dawn of the Dead remake does the opposite of the original.

The action is more explosive, the core group is larger, and perhaps the most crucial escalation of all: these zombies run. Together, the would-be MCU and DCEU filmmakers crafted an intense, white-knuckle version of Romero’s consumerist wasteland. His first movie after more than a decade making ads and music videos – including singles by ZZ Top, Soul Asylum, and Rod Stewart – Snyder came on board after reading James Gunn’s script.
Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake isn’t quite as good, but it gets bloody close. Between the isolated setting, comforting humanity of the characters, unrepentant socio-political awareness, and playful gore, it represents everything I love about the undead. For my money, George A Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is the best zombie movie of all time.
