As long as the budget for Land of the Dead is good, its going to be so awesome.

I really dislike it when comapanies just rip off a name to hopefully get more attention for themselves. As I understand now it's going to be called Day of the Dead: Contagium, hopefully they will end up with just Contagium and drop the dead title. It's going to be a prequel I guess to Romero's Day of the Dead, but since the remake of Dawn of the Dead just came out I'm sure lots of people will assume it's a sequel to the remake. If they keep the "Day" title it's going to kind of ruin it for the "Dawn" remake people if they wanted to continue their story, something that would upset me because I was quite a big fan of the "Dawn" remake. Anyway, I saw a pretty low quality trailer for Contagium (not sure if it was just a demo or actual footage from the movie) and it didn't look to promising. Sort of reminded me of ROTLD 3, pretty low budget and cheesy.

Romero managed to obtain a pretty good budget for "Land" but with the positives come the negatives. It's almost a given that Romero isn't go to be able to convince the movie studio to use all unknown actors, he's said in an interview that he will push for it to happen but he isn't confident. Also the film will have to be filmed with an R rating, understandable because no movie theater would carry it otherwise. Good thing however is that Romero has been given permission to shoot the movie his way, NC-17 or whatever. So when the DVD comes out I'm sure we'll see almost a completely different version.

Why is he not happy with an R rating. You can do so much with R. I dunno many NC-17 films

You don't know many NC-17 films because major movie studios would never fund an NC-17, an account of the money it would loose from not getting any theater play. NOTLD was unrated, not sure if it would have made NC-17 but it's possible at the time. Dawn and Day were both NC-17, lots would have been cut out to get it down to an R rating.

Dawn an Day are both NC-17? I did't know that.
