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. Variety says the film, from Romero's own script, will begin production in October in Winnipeg or Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was the site of shooting for Romero's original 1968 zombie trilogy.

In the film, 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.

The 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.

Romero had been developing Diamond Dead, a black comedy musical that's being produced by Scott Free and Andrew Gaty, and he also scripted an adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, which he may direct for Canadian financier Don Archibald and Lions Gate.

i'm so excited!

 

*does a happy dance*

Romero's zombie movies are great. I can't wait to see what this one has to offer.

I wish he would name it Dusk of the Dead or Twilight of the Dead to go along with the other 3, but that's okay.

 

Generally I mock horror films for their silliness but there is just something about ZOmbie movies. I often feel mindless watching them.

 

yeah, saw some other reports already talking about the editing. it mentioned that it's going to have to be cut back since he wants major distribution, unlike dawn and day...which i didn't even realize those were rated nc-17. i've only seen dawn of the dead and don't recall anything in there that warranted that harsh of a rating

 

I'm excited about this. The storyline sounds good and original.

The best thing about Romero's Zombie films is that they really aren't about Zombies and that blows my mind

Exploding head
Decapitation by helicopter blade
Screwdriver in the ear
Intestines ripped out

Yeah, I think it earned its rating.

even though this is Scanners, the scene is kinda the same when you think about it.

 

Exploding head
Decapitation by helicopter blade
Screwdriver in the ear

Sounds pretty cool.
