Looks like another Zombie movie is coming out. The Land of the Dead. I guess this movie is from the same guy who wrote Dawn of The Dead and the Night of the Living Dead. I hope this one is as good as the others.
it's the sequel to Day of the Dead. not that remake, either, i'm talking it's the next installment in the Dead series. Night of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead.
Shaun of the Dead was meant to be bad. that's why it was funny.
"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."
Pic, from Romero's own script, is being co-financed by Atmosphere Entertainment and Paris-based Wild Bunch. Production will begin in October in Winnipeg or Pittsburgh. Latter was the site of shooting for Romero's original 1968 zombie trilogy.
New film will be produced by Atmosphere chairman-CEO Mark Canton and prexy Bernie Goldmann, along with Romero's partner Peter Grunwald of Romero Grunwald Prods. Atmosphere's Steve Barnett is exec producer.
Go picture is the first for Atmosphere, which Canton formed late last year with financing from Daedalus Media Partners principal Mark J. Kimsey. While the company hatched a surplus of scripts Canton brought from previous ventures, "Land of the Dead" is a new script buy.
In Romero's new pic, 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. 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.
Canton said Romero's early work was the touchstone for a slew of current horror hits and that his script showed the master hadn't lost his touch.
He and Goldmann described the film as "Night of the Living Dead" meets "The Road Warrior," and Wild Bunch's Vincent Grimond sparked to the overseas potential. The two companies have the ability to cover the budget themselves but expect to land a domestic distributor before the zombies wreak havoc in the fall.
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. But he jumped at the chance to dig up the dead again.
"People ask me why I've waited so long to do another 'Dead' film," Romero said. "I made one in the '60s, one in the '70s and one in the '80s. The only reason I missed the '90s is because I wanted to stay faithful to the tradition while coming up with something new."
Romero's new film will have a budget in the teens. The original cost $140,000 and grossed $20 million worldwide, becoming one of the most profitable films of all time. The first sequel, "Dawn of the Dead" cost $1.2 million and grossed $40 million worldwide."
Even Shaun of the Dead was a bad, bad, bad movie, but it was still entertaining.
I liked "Shaun of the Dead" and "Resident Evil 2 / Apocolypse"
I didn't like "Dawn of the Dead" 2004..talk about wasted potential..anyone who "remakes" a cult classic into a plotless action movie deserves to be eaten by dead cannibals :jaw: :insane:
although RE strayed from its game storyline, i too liked the series... luckily i think there is at least 2 left just going by the games they have had out... but there is indeed starting to be too many zombie movies... shaun of the dead i found to be rather well... lame, mainly because it was "foreign humor" or should i say "humour" but there are some decents... 28 days later, RE 1 and 2, etc were good but enough is enough... dawn of the dead, house of the dead, shaun of the dead, and the rest of their ilk should be claimed as unheard of movies, and befall the same ending as the predictable deaths of those in the video. some things are supposed to be laughably fake, but those are pushing it... and this is coming from a fan of zombie related things
