Trailer For George A. Romero's 'Diary of the Dead' NOW!

It's finally here, the official trailer for George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (review), which is playing at this month's Sundance and opens in theaters February 15 from Dimension Films. Head over to BDTV to take your first look at the film, which is being developed into another trilogy. The film will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a "cinema verite" style that causes more than the usual production headaches.

Looks awesome, much better than I was for some reason expecting. I just wonder how many assholes are going to start shouting "rip off" because it comes out after Cloverfield?

@Ultrazilla2000 That's one of my biggest concerns.. It seems that every time Mr. Romero has something good going for him, he gets hit below the belt once again, one way or another. It's truly a shame!

I want to make a dead movie that is the very initial day from near ground Zero and you bump into some of the characters from the dead movies from Ben in the Diner to pasting by the lead female character neighborhood of the 2004 dawn to even seeing Findler's Green

Let's see.. we have the rogue film maker, his intelligent and strong girlfriend, the insensitive jerk, the badass chic, the good-looking couple, and the nerd. Sounds like the stereotypical cliche' so commonplace lately.. All we need is one of those promo posters with close-ups of the main cast looking serious and deep. Kinda like the 'Final Destination' franchise or the 'I Still Know What You Did Last Time You Took a Dump' movies, or just about any other horror flick made in the last 8 years containing young people dealing with an unexpected and horrific turn of events. I am a huge fan of Romero's first three films. Those earned him the status of Maestro in my opinion. I am also a fanatic zombie fan, and know more about the genre than most people. But after that 'Land of the Dead' disaster, I lost faith in Mr. Romero and this movie seems desperate. Desperate that it is being shot through the lens of a low budget "documentary film maker" which is meant to save money (after 'Land o/t Dead' I can't blame the studios for being tight with the funding). Desperate that it contains quick cut scenes shot through various stationary cameras in order to appeal to our ADHD generation who can't concentrate on anything longer than the time it takes a flea to copulate, (and have probably been unable to read this far into my post without gasping for air). Finally, desperate because the characters in this movie are intended to attract the young teenage crowd who are incapable of appreciating (or understanding) complex characters. So instead, use quick easy-to-get facsimiles that require no development, but can be quickly grasped by these minds. George Romero has fallen!!!! Or so it would seem. I pray not.

Misterthropic now i am not the one to go on a web site and blast but... Land was great in my opinoin and wen it comes down to it, all things are opinion. But what i wanted to say is the u must not know much about zombie films like you say because universal gave george the money to maje Land, but Diary is independant my man, meaning that the film was funded buy wealthy people not studios and if you kept up with things then you would know the weinsteins obtained te rights and sundance. they did not fund it but pays to release it and make money off of it. In fact, Romero has said on more than one time tat he hated working on land cause the studios kept coming in and telling him what to do, which made him leave set twards the end of filming and thid is the sole reasonm he wanted to do it alone. Dude the fird three zombie classics were independant, low budget fair. So no the way dairy is shot has nothing to do with money, its simply his vison: the vison of a genious.

Of course what I write is "my opinion". I wasn’t consulting a burning bush while typing my last entry. So I will apologize for any confusion that not stating so may have caused to any addle-minded readers so unfortunate to have lost themselves in a difficult cerebral quandary. Note: THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPININION. However, regurgitating boring production details, gleaned from the internet (someday I too shall Google factoids!) in order to defend the massive failure of 'Land of the Dead' is a poor method to say the least. (I would challenge anyone to find any Director who hasn’t complained about the Producers’ interference in their project.) Furthermore, it does not, by any means, display an understanding of the undead genre. Rather, viewing films and reading written material about the undead makes one knowledgeable of what constitutes a good zombie story, be it a movie, a novel, a comic book or what have you. Nonetheless, the production method of ‘Diary o/t Dead’ is frugal. So I will stand by my former argument that the studios did not want to give out any cash for another Romero Dead film, whether it’s ‘Diary’ or any future project he may be deliberating. It is quite apparent that this new Romero debacle has obviously been fashioned for the video-posting-generation of Y, (or is it YZ? who cares), that has been conditioned for the quick intake of palsy-ridden, jittery snap scenes and poorly written dialogue consisting of a series of sound byte quality lines. But perhaps there is a reason for this. After all, Romero has been known to use his films as a vehicle for social commentary. Thus, it can be inferred that the creation of young, shallow, one-dimensional, stereotypical characters is completely intentional. By doing so, Romero is criticizing this new vapid generation that is all too similar to the undead ghouls that past movie heroes (and heroines) have been called upon to vanquish, or in many cases, outrun. His inclusion of the “professor” character is a subtle means of informing today’s youth that they should hold in esteem their more traditionally educated elders. Or maybe, because Buffy had Giles in the ‘Vampire Slayer’ series, Romero felt that he needed his own Englishman to dispense tidbits of innocuous advice to a bunch of Ritalin doping kids. And maybe I’m giving too much credit to his penchant for expressing societal concerns via the movie screen. Romero’s premise seems worthy I admit. That being; a living dead movie shot on-the-run, by a group of amateurs archiving the experiences of being in the midst of a zombie pandemic, while disputing the misinformation being broadcast by the corporate media. But I fear he has failed in his delivery. Watching the “confession room” scene in ‘Diary’ is painfully reminiscent of the numerous Reality-TV shows that have flooded the market. Perhaps there’ll be a 1-800 number in which we can text-vote which character we want to see torn apart by ravenous monsters on 'Survivor: Undead Outbreak'. So go ahead George, YouTube us up a zombie movie. Feel free to continue beating that undead horse.

still this does not shine light on the fact that Romero chose not to make another studio zombie film. Money in noway reflects his intensions of Dairy. I would think that if his time at universal was a good one, he would still have made this movie that way we have it now. Plus have you even seen Dairy, cause the statments you have made are pretty bold to say the least.
