I don't believe everything my parents told me -- and I feel the same way about Wikipedia -- but it has an extensive, interesting entry on "Dawn of the Dead". It delves into a lot of the shooting challenges of the movie -- trying to film at a mall after close, managing all the extras (some of whom would show up drunk) and handling special effects.
Don't read it until you've seen the film, but it's fun.
It also made me aware that a fourth film came out in 2005, "Land of the Dead," which I plan to watch. Also, a "Diary of the Dead" was shot in late 2006. It reads like a "Blair Witch" retelling of the original lore. There are links to those films from the Wikipedia entry above.

The background details are interesting.
That is a very thorough Wikipedia page! I was thinking as I was watching it that all those extras had to be a challenge.
