Theoretically, Savini/Romero could just say "Screw the MPAA rating" and make as gory a movie as they want to. But if they did that, it would totally limit where the movie could be shown/seen. It's a tough choice - do you make the movie you want to make and have it basically go direct to DVD, or do you cut the movie to MPAA guidelines so it can get in theaters - even if the cutting hurts the movie?
If I were a director, I don't know what choice I'd make - especially with something like the Day of the Dead remake. That'd be tough.
What you could do - what some do - is cut the movie to get it in theaters, then released the unrated director's cut to DVD. That would force fans to pay twice to see the movie, which sucks, but at least people would have a chance to see the movie as the director wanted it seen.
