Diary of the Dead

[Chris]

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.

Production is slated to begin October 11 in Toronto.

Romero most recently wrote and directed George A. Romero's Land of the Dead.
I hope its better than Land of the Dead...And for gods sake make it an 18 this time! :P

There is also going to be a remake of 'Day of the Dead' which will follow on from the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. The new film will star Ving Rhames (who survived Dawn of the Dead) and will include the fast zombies from the previous film :D

I thought dawn of the dead was great, cant wait for the day of the dead :D

which is the one where he cuts a hand of and its still alive. so he sticks it in a bucket with liek a palm reading book to weigh it down (personally thought that was hilariously ironic - obvioulsy planned but still)
was it evil dead?

i think i remember dawn of the deda and if i do i liked it.

the one in the supermarket where they spec the big vans. then all die on end in the boat?

Yup, thats Dawn of the Dead.

The whole film was pretty pointless when you think about it, they survive inside the mall for almost 100 minutes of the film and then they all get killed on an island within 30 seconds, lol. Still a great film though :D

[taosc]

yup totally true

so whats land of the dead and the other one about?

[Chris]

I've never actually seen the original Day of the Dead, but i think it has something to do with scientists trying to stop the outbreak.

And Land of the Dead is about a city that has inpenetrable walls to keep the zombies out, but somehow the zombies get smart and start to work in a team to overthrow and break through into the city. I thought it was stupid and the characters were crap (apart from Dennis Hopper, who was excellent as always).

[taosc]

ooo right

worth a download or not that good?
if its really good i might buy it

[Chris]

Worth a download (or watch it on Sky if you've got it, its on Sky Movies from time to time), i wouldn't say its worth buying.

Try and Download the uncut version too, when Land of the Dead was at the cinemas it was a 15, on DVD it is an 18 (slightly gorier :D).
