My opinion has always been that THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was a great concept, but if a skilled horror director would have made it, it would have been 10 times better.

It appears as if George Romero is doing just that.

In Variety:

George A. Romero will write and direct George Romero's Diary of the Dead, which his company Romero-Grunwald Productions will produce with Artfire Films.

The storyline revolves around a group of film students who encounter real zombies when making a horror movie in the woods.

Voltage Pictures has picked up worldwide sales rights to the pic, which Artfire is fully financing. Production is slated to begin October 11 in Toronto.


I always thought the most chilling moments in the DEAD films (as well as the DAWN remake) are the news & radio reports within the movies. This looks like an entire movie made with that reality sensibility (students making a low-budget film as the zombie crisis begins).
Any fan of Romero's DEAD films should be extremely excited about this project.

Did Bob Clarke do this back in the 70s as CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS?

Dude...there is a "Day of the Dead" remake in the works. Look it up.

But from what I've hear, it will be unrelated to the Dawn remake. Which is good news to me. I liked the Dawn remake, but it put more emphasis on super zombies than it did the humans.

He's still doing Land of the Dead 2, though, right?

Rumor has it that Land of the Dead was the first of a new Dead trilogy.

Ah, now THAT would be cool. I'd be happy for just a part 2, but a part 2 AND 3? :cool:

Wiki has some cool info plus outside links. "World of the Dead" sounds epic to me. Apparently, unlike the old Dead films which were a decade apart, the new movies will be more traditional sequels.

What next..."Galaxy of the Dead"? Sweeeeeet.

Dudette?

I wonder what a sequel would be called? Dawn of the Dead 2 sounds boring.

Is the sequel in the works, or are you just hoping?
