Yeah, i thought that too! I hope Roberts will say something about it in interviews or anywhere else, i think it's cool little easter egg for some of the fans who read those.I did find it hilarious, they reused an element from Umbrella Conspiracy and the Romero script, in that there is a PDA that has maps and such on it. I'm thinking it was more a reused element from the Romero draft than anything else.

I couldn't tell or notice any sings of re-shoots, but the second half did seem that it went by bit too fast, i'll have to see the movie again to try and guess what could have been changed in post. I haven't checked to make sure yet, but from what others have said, there are some shots in trailers and some locations in behind the scenes photos which are not in the film, i just heard how Mr X was supposed to be or actually was in the film but didn't made it into the final cut, and going from some info we got before, it seems like this probably was longer film originally. I know some rumors leaked out (as they always do) after test screenings, but i don't think there was much differences. It reminds me on how some other recent films, like Rambo: Last Blood and Halloween Kills, were basically fully finished only to get cut down at last minute after test screenings. I hope that if it exists, extended cut of this film will be released very soon, because like i said, it needed to be little longer in some parts. I would hate to see history repeat itself and for same thing to happen with this one like what happened to 2002 film. That one was also originally longer and was cut down before release for couple reasons (pacing, rating), and Anderson promised to release extended uncut version, but it never happened.At the end of the day, it's hard to look at it as something other than a glorified fan movie...even though I cannot escape wondering how much the last-minute reshoots and re-edits influenced the final product. Maybe someday we'll find out.

The movie definitely went through re-shoots at the eleventh hour - about a month or so AFTER it was announced they only had to add VFX. it was in the trades...and it really feels like a movie that has been hastily reshaped in my opinion: too many loose ends. Signs of reshoots are usually VERY hard to spot unless some HUGE mistake has been made (as in THE PREDATOR). Yeah, there's stuff in the trailers we didn't see in the movie - the most glaring one is Lisa "stretching out".I couldn't tell or notice any sings of re-shoots, but the second half did seem that it went by bit too fast, i'll have to see the movie again to try and guess what could have been changed in post.
