George Romero To Direct New Zombie Flick
George Romero is set to direct "Land of the Dead," a horror film that picks up on the zombie saga he hatched with "Night of the Living Dead" and continued with "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead."
In the new film, with a script written by Romero, the zombies having taken over the world and those left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps. Anarchy rules the streets, with the wealthy insulated and living in fortified skyscrapers. Drama revolves around a group of scavengers who must thwart an attempt to overthrow the city while the dead are evolving from brainless slow-moving creatures into more advanced creatures.
"People ask me why I've waited so long to do another 'Dead' film," Romero said. "I made one in the '60s, one in the '70s and one in the '80s. The only reason I missed the '90s is because I wanted to stay faithful to the tradition while coming up with something new."

| As a diehard fan of Romero's zombie classics personally I must say that after what Iv'e read recently Im no longer anticipating his newest project if in fact his zombies are going to run, disappear at will, or deviate drastically from his previous and legendary trademark zombie films. Romero was reportedly offering up praise to the film 'House Of The Dead' which IMO was far below Romero's standard of film-making. As well since Im on the subject, the film "Dawn Of The Dead" 2004, while it wasnt a bad horror film, it didnt hold a candle to Romeros classic, let alone should it have had the title of the original masterpiece. Just My 2 cents | |
