"the dead movies always fit into the respective decades they were made it. the '60s were active, angry and much more overtly political. the '70s were 'spend, baby, the times are good.' the '80s was the downfall of that and a collapse into the darker territory. the '90s version would basically be about people ignoring the problem. to me, that's what things are about now-some how conning the people to look the other way. the zombies would be treated the way the homeless are treated."

(sorry about the super long quote)
reason given for delay was rights tied between various companies involved with series over the years.
romero was also a considered director for RE motion picture
anyway thought the quote might give some insight as to where he might have been going with the new installment.
doesn't really seem to far off to me.
