Romero's latest gets a release date; glasses still enormous
No on is going to argue that George A. Romero’s best work doesn’t come from the zombie genre. Sure, Creepshow and Monkey Shines might be hilariously entertaining, but they're no satire featuring brain-hungry, dead-alive humans. So, it’s really no surprise that he’s heading back to the morgue in search of new zombie terror. It’s been about 7 month’s since we last heard anything about Diary of the Dead, Romero’s latest zombie film, but it looks like it will finally rise from its production grave. The film will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, according to Variety.
"It's not a sequel or a remake, it's a whole new beginning for the dead," said Romero, who wrote and directed the script. "I'm honored to have it premiere at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival."
The film follows a group of students who set out to make a horror movie. Little do they know that zombies have began to infest the country – turning the tables on the filmmaking crew who become the subject of true horror. While Diary of the Dead sounds a bit like The Blair Witch project, with film students and handheld camera’s in tow, Romero seems to work well with a low budget. Here’s hoping for an October release shortly after it’s premiere in September to represent the old-school horror in the most terrifying month of the year. The Toronto International Film Festival September 6 - 15.
