New Romero "Dead" movie!!!!!
 
From Fangoria news:
August 25: Romero raises more DEAD!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, George A. Romero will bring his zombies back once more in DIARY OF THE DEAD, an independent project he'll write and direct. This movie will hark back to the rough-edged style of the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD with echoes of another grassroots hit, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, following a group of college students making a horror movie who find themselves in the midst of a real undead plague, and begin filming the mayhem around them. Romero and his production partner Peter Grunwald will produce DIARY with Artfire Films. After the frustrations he experienced regarding the shooting and release of Universal's LAND OF THE DEAD, the director was adamant about doing this installment independently. "I was trying to convince Peter we could just run off and do it ourselves," and they will starting October 11 in Toronto. Romero is also attached to Hyde Park/Kadokawa's project SOLITARY ISLE, based on a story by RINGU author Koji Suzuki . —Michael Gingold

Badass. Im down for seeing another Romero movie. Land wasnt as good as i expected but there was some good gore scenes and the characters are decent. Cholo is my favorite though.

Its in my movie collection

I could do without another 'Dead' movie. 'Land...' was very disappointing. That said, I'll still see it. Who knows, maybe he still has one good movie left in him.

Is "Diary" going to take place within the Dead time frame? It doesn't sound like it could...

Could take place before/during Night.

Ah, never thought about that.

Prequels... mmmmm

I dont know if I can stomach it after Land of the Dead. It might have ruined it for me.

voorhees92 08-28-2006 12:02 PM

okay I'm ready as ever for Romero's next hit. 'Land' was good, but it wasn't any Night of the Living Dead. The premise sounds great, and I always trust Fangoria, so I'm a go. Definitely.

woo hoo I don't care how many he has made I love a good scare. Zombies always give me the creeps.

Zero 08-30-2006 10:30 AM

i'll always give romero the benefit of the doubt . . . but i'm deeply suspicious of this idea

David Kessler 09-13-2006 05:33 AM

I know what you're saying about prequels. They tend to happen when you can't think of where else to take a movie. But if George does a good job - which i'm sure he will - I'm all for it.

I liked LAND. You can't expect that gritty VHS feel in 2005. He did a good job.

crabapple 09-18-2006 07:52 AM

The Zombies on the poster will be standing there staring at you, you know how they do box art these days. Everyone's a moody badass.

cmitchell 09-18-2006 02:04 PM

Im cautious after Land of the Dead. It was a good idea, but man it fell flat.
