Update: Romero's Latest NOT a Sequel, First Casting Details!

Update: Schlock Around the Clock reports it will be a quasi-sequel, Movieset reports there will be underwater zombies, while STYD adds that it will take place on an island! Exciting! We learned of some very interesting info this morning that we've been trying to confirm for about a week now. What we have confirmed is that George A. Romero is currently in Toronto, Ontario shooting a new zombie movie, only it's NOT a sequel to DIARY OF THE DEAD like originally announced. No word yet on what exactly it is, but we're doing some more digging in hopes of finding out more. Something we did discover is that Alan Van Sprang is starring in the film, which reunites him with Romero for the third time (Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead). He also starred in Saw III for Lionsgate.

"What is he doing? Why does he keep returning to this genre?" ... "Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what he used to do. Making movies was an important thing in his life."

He's remaking From Justin to Kelly.

I really hope it's better than 'Diarrhea of the Dead'. That film was really aweful. I wish George the best.

I still haven't gotten around to seeing diary of the dead yet. i heard it was just OK. Hopefully this one will be good.

Wasn't he tapped to film "From a Buick 8?"

It's probably The Diamond dead.

Could this be a continuation of Land of the Dead? I'm a huge Romero fan so I can't wait to read new details as they come in. I'm kinda hoping that this is a finale of sorts for George's zombie world. Not that I would complain if he continued making more zombie films. I'm a huge zombie film fan but I wanna see George try something else. He's proven he can make non zombie films such as Martin, Monkey Shines, The Crazies, etc and do a damn fine job at it. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Great, now I cannot shake the notion of a zombie with diarrhea, I may never eat again. Thanks.

Maybe he's doing 'Island of the Dead'

ATTN GEORGE ROMERO: as Hall & Oates says: you are "out of touch" and old as f*ck. Give it up with the zombie movies and stop embarrassing yourself.

Woo! Awesome news. I'm getting more and more excited about this, especially seeing as how it's not a sequel to Diary.

what if this is the sequel to the Dawn of the Dead remake? i know it's a hell of a long shot, but the remake DID end with the survivors landing on an island... just saying.

No one has mentioned Fulci's Zombi 2 yet? Especially since it also featured an underwater zombie AND an island crawling with zombies? Sad.

I can't believe everyone is bashing this movie so much already. Romero is a legend. We should be glad he's still alive and making new movies, even if they aren't as good as his classics. While Land and Diary weren't great, they are still decent flicks that are better than a lot of garbage coming out these days.

You know, I'm excited about this. As I've posted on my blog, could this be the follow up to Land of the Dead that George has been talking about before? Pure speculation on my part, but that would be absolutely fantastic.

I could have been in this movie!!! They were doing a casting call for Zombies this mourning, but I had to work, I am so kicking myself for missing the chance. I'm sure they would have picked me to becuase I'm a tall bulky dude with long dark hair, perfect zombie! If I could go back in time I tell ya.

I wonder if it'll be something non-zombie related? I'd be more interested if was something different for Romero. As far as I'm concerned, he has lost his touch when it comes to zombies.

Oh great, Romero is making his own "House of the Dead"... oh well, I'll wait for reviews on this one. Hopefully Romero will pull through, I still think the guy himself is awesome even if his films are beginning to get stale.

Hope he drops the first-person view this time. Very few films actually pull it off and good ol' George is not one of them. Hope he does the underwater stuff right too. World War Z will probably be the best zombie in recent memory (when it eventually arrives) but hopefully Romero can produce something interesting in the meanwhile.

It would be great if he makes a sequel to Land of the Dead !

George is back and I can't wait. I love his work. Can't wait to see this one.

Man, I loved Diary Of The Dead. The great thing about Romero's zombie movies is how timely they are in what they're really talking about, and I really dig its critique of video culture. I can't wait to see what he'll take on next! And dude, if he's involved in the film adaptation of WWZ I will be beside myself with glee.

i think he is going the same way as george lucas and wes craven and john carpenter, he is loosing his touch in his old age
