Diary of the Dead

It's George Romero's next Dead film.

It's about a group of film students who run into zombies when making a horror movie in the woods.

In production in August.

Is Romero just cashing in on loyal fans that go giddy when they hear the words "Romero" and "Dead" in the same sentence?

Might be just that...
This plot is far from the quality Romero used to deliver, I can't see this becoming even a shadow of the his original trilogy.
Seems like he (and mostly his name) has been bought by the studios so they can tag his reputation to any piece of crap they poop out. As you said...

I dunno, the whole "Dead" thing is probably just his style. Who knows, hopefully it won't be shitty like Creepshow or anythin.......

i didnt like land of the dead much so...

Yes indeed...Romero has now taken the same dark path as Lucas. It is exactly how I felt after watching LOTD. Just look at the plot...it is the exact near replica of the Blair Witch Project. Romero is known for his creative writting...and using this plot line is downright awful. Money does change people.

Will this end with a zombie standing in the corner of a room and then the camera going off? 😉

i know this sounds like an awfully big backward step for romero, but really, after the brilliant movies he's given us up to now he can do what he wants, even if it is crap movies about zombies in the woods...

Making good movies before doesn't give you the right to make shitty ones now....how do you think people felt about Lucas after the new trilogy came out?

Well I'm sure he wasn't thinking they'd be shitty movies. Well........who knows? It could have been the money thinking, or else he's just changed.

People change all the time, and you can't always look up to someone, cause they ARE just human. They'll let you down too....

How many dead movies are they gonna make ?

That's not the question. When will they ever make something original again?

I would be fine if he did another Dead movie. As long as he made it in the 2010's, follow the same storyline, and have a strong social commentary like the other films.

Something tells me he'll be either lucky to be alive then, or kinda fragile

Exactly what I was thinking.

and blair witch is the exact near replica of cannibal holocaust.

I really didn't like Land of the Dead one bit.

Hopefully this will be better, although it doesn't sound like it.

I doubt that personally.

Diary of the Dead is done independently with a low-budget. the purpose for this was Romero wanted to return to his roots of maverick filmmaking. guerilla-style movies always reak of the director's original intentions.

Diary of the Dead will be ill as **** if you ask me.

The title doesnt leave much inspiration 😬 sounds a bit naff

How does a zombie keep a diary?

I was being a smartass...or dumbass...whichever seems more fitting.
