As seen on the trailer, different elements of distinct eras and genres are being mixed up in the same place at the same time: Sci-fi, horror themes, World War II, et cetera. But they aren't just randomly placed in the trailer, they work equally together, every element is set up to fit in. For example: Mad's character uses contemporary and futuristic military gear, skeletons using World War II gear in a post-apocalyptic looking world and all of it works, in some way, perfectly. Maybe this mixed up world makes sense in its own way, because it's not just one world, but lots of them. The theory is that someone, or something, figured out how to break the barrier between the World of the Living and the World of the Dead, but something went wrong and those worlds started to become one. In this process, alternative dimensions started to collide too: The dimension which WWII was happening in that exact moment, the dimension of the dead, a dimension with advanced technology, a contemporary alternative dimension and a dimension which the human race evolved to a new species called Homo Ludens. The first trailer happens in the epicenter of the Half-Dead + Homo Ludens area, while the second trailer happens in the epicenter of the Dead + WWII area. The Reedus' character needs to protect the baby because they are the same person but from different realities, as they worlds were mixed up together they share the same Life Strand. Del Toro does the same thing as Norman. Based on this principle, the Life Strand of the World War II soldiers, kept in the World of the Dead, and were put back in their dead bodies of the contemporary world. The umbilical cord is inherited from the Homo Ludens world and it applies to all of the three characters: Norman Reedus cuts out his umbilical cord, but his baby keeps it; Del Toro keeps his cord and he uses to connect to his own baby; Mads uses as tactical advantage to influence the living dead soldiers as a special ops squad. Even the machines and animals use this umbilical cord, as seen on the leading tank and on the whales and crabs. Sorry for the bad English :)
