I heard this is going to be called Island of the Dead.

Kazenji
Lets hope its better then his last film.

Bloinky
I didn't bother to see Diary of the Dead cause I completely forgot that movie existed .

MildPossession
There is stuff on this new movie already in various other topics around stick out tongue

Kazenji
Well i found my source off shocktillyoudrop.com and yea thats just how the title of the article was named.

Kinda of seems its a sequal to Dawn of the Dead Remake from another person perspective

Selphie
so now they are trying to co-habitate with the dead

I'm up for it!

Kazenji
As long as it does'nt get as weird as someone having sex with a zombie.

Why doesnt he make something else?
I think that weve gone as far as we can with Zombies.

Infection,dead rise,mayhem,characters die,characters live,characters escape,bitersweet ending..........

MildPossession
They have done that recently in a terrible film called Zombie Diaries, I think one of the human characters rapes a woman zombie he has chained up in a barn...

Diary of the Dead made me believe Romero has lost his touch. I'll only see this if somebody else spends their money.

Has potential. You know damn well if zombies existed someone would screw one. Probably would make a zombie porn industry and all that.

And that person would be me.

Trailer you sick people stick out tongue

I dunno. I think after this Romero should take a break from making zombie movies. He's doing them too frequently and it seems each one gets worse.

Back in his heyday he was doing one every decade, now he's doing one every year.

I agree

after all he did some of them creepshow movies not zombie related.

Diary was good movie. There was absoliutely nothing wrong with it given the format. Peoplee just have too high expecations. After you had sex for awhile. It loses that omg sex is amazing feeling.

A good Zombie movie would be a military one froma FPS and not just the stupid camera. Make it abit more real like seeing it in the eyes of a marine.

MildPossession
No, Diary of the Dead was just a rubbish film from the man. If he made it as well as his first few films, we wouldn't feel what you mentioned above. We expect from such a director. Unfortunately, it looks like he is going downhill. I hope I'm wrong with the new movie.

most movies follow the same guidelines

That's quite a rubbish title.

BackFire
I liked "...Of The Dead"

Wolfie
So I assume that, like Diary, this will be another stand-alone Dead film?

That's how i felt when i first saw the trailer for his latest movie sad

The reasons are probably typical because the movie had some obvious problems but what didn't you like about Diary?

Can't we just have a good ol zombie movie with no political or societal undertones? These issues have already been super-imposed onto his other movies. The message has just become redundant at this point. I know zombie movies rely on interesting and conflicting characters as much as they do on zombies but can't Romero just make a zombie movie where the people are simply trying to survive?

As for the movie itself, the trailer looks god awful. I'm hoping the trailer was made from a rough cut of the movie because it looks amateurish.

All of his movies are based on political or societal undertones.

MildPossession
Will see what the reviews think of it soon once it's shown at Toronto, and I think it's showing at Venice film festival too.

Selphie
Of course Land and Diary weren't as good as his Day or Dawn, but I mean, I still like the movies. They're more slapstick now, and he even says that's more of his aim, and yeah, I get that some people don't like that, but if you're going to watch Romero, he wants you to have a laugh. Don't think everything's completely serious... and how can you take zombies that seriously anyways...

Romero's political and social undertones made his undead franchise what it was, and I for one enjoyed every minute. Personally I don't see his commentaries as redundant rather an ongoing part of the story to his world. Pity Diary went a bit off course and went back to the beginning, would liked to have seen how Lands survivors (not necessarily the main characters as that'd break from Romero's traditions) but those we see moving out of the city on foot at the end progressed.

MildPossession
It's out on dvd in a few days here, I don't have a lot of hope for it...

beer As I'm sure most of you already know this is George Romeros new zombie movie,I rented this today and will watch it soon,I own Dawn of the Dead(remake) and Land of the Dead,I think both are Decent films,Recently though I seen Diary of the dead and just did not like it much at all,The same as the recent Day of the Dead(I think thats the name) I did not like this much either,so heres hoping this one is an improvement on the last two.

Dave_97
day of the dead(2008)? didn't see it!

classic day of the dead is my favorite romero flick.
i really didn't care much for diary.
land of the dead was decent by all means, i enjoyed the crap outa it.
same with the dawn remake, and classic dawn, not many romero films i don't enjoy.

the rental stores in my city closed down thanks to movie piracy.(which im not really a fan of, but times change, and we have to adapt) BUT, if i like a film enough, i always buy it on dvd(or in the future, blu-ray)
So someone mail me a copy, or do a live stream of it.

im not taking any chances on buying a movie i havent seen, i've done that enough. (always get hurt in the end)

Dave_97
i had no idea you were a woman.
learn something new all the time.

Females can be bros, i've got a few.

smokin' Ok,Just watched this,I will start of by saying it IS an improvement over the last 2 films,but still nowhere near what I would call ''Great''.The movie had a couple of decent scenes in it,but I found myself getting bored quickly,which left me watching it with same feeling I had when I seen ''Diary of the dead'' and ''Day of the dead''. This is definitely better then Diary of the dead though,but nowhere near the goodness of Dawn or Land of the dead.I really have lost faith in Romero now,but I will keep watching these films none the less just hoping to see a better one released one day,for me This movie is a 5.5/10.

Wow...,just wow. This is one of the most boring horror movies i've seen in a while. The acting, writing and effects were just garbage but what's even worse is that the movie was so god damn boring. I think this proves that Romero either got lucky with the first three dead films or he has just completely lost touch with what makes a good horror movie.
