Director George A. Romero has a very special Halloween treat for you guys... beyond the break you'll find the first ever action-packed image from Romero's latest "OF THE DEAD" zombie pic, which features your first look at one of the new zombies. The pic involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure. Read on for a look and watch for more news soon.

Meh. Diary Of the Dead set my hopes pretty low that Romero will ever make another decent zombie flick. Hopefully he can though.

Excitement. Hoping it has that "indie charm" that Diary had down so well.

Just hope it won't be weak like Diary and bring us back the blood and gore.

It sounds very reminiscent of Stephen king's "Home Delivery", which was in the 1989 zombie anthology Book Of The Dead and again in Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Great story-hopefully Romero nicks some cool stuff from it.

Diary really wasn't that bad..I like the stuck-on-an-island thing. Would kick ass if they called it "Island of the Dead".

I dont like the idea of it being an island it sounds to much like a Fulci thing. Huge fan so I know I will like it anyway. But Romero if you read this then how about this for your next concept. Hunting buddies come back from a week at there cabin and everything that was normal is now chaos ridden with zombies. Deer rifles in hand they kick some zombie butt. And film in our home state of PA this time.

An island? Sounds like a good place to start a zombie epidemic. I liked "diary" but I do wonder whether romero can manage a sequel.

Meh, that picture is nothing great.

It's like God just smiled at me... thank you, George Romero!

The still and the premise are cool. DIARY blew, though, so hopefully this will mark a return to form for Romero.

Because I am hoping Mel Brooks uses that one.

why bother complaining about the movie being made, is that going to change the fact it's being made, perhaps if you set bitching aside and voice things that actually could matter like suggestions, it might make for a better film when you finally get to see it, you know that's usually the point when you critize stuff.

The actors were the worst part of diary of the dead. And I agree with trizout about filming in PA again.

I heard a rumour that Bub from "Day of the Dead" would show up before he turned into a zombie. Does anyone think that man looks like him?

I just finished watching "Dead Set" and it rocked! Romero's latest zombie movies were terrible. When English TV mini series make Romero's zombies look dated and stale that means that he should give up and try something else...

hey grizout and gi dan i agree with you guys both it should be filmed again in pa! that would be awesome.

Romero's continuing the tradition until he himself becomes one of those walking dead (which at his late 60's seems closer with each passing year) is noble. In a world full of wannabe filmmakers just rehashing old ideas trying to make them new again, at least someone like Romero is giving "sequels" to them instead trying to turn back the clock and rewriting history. You're doing the right thing, George.

Very cool.

I wasn't all too thrilled with Diary (it's the only Dead movie from Romero where the social commentary felt hamfisted...) but I will give this one a chance. However, I can't help wonder if this is somewhat of a throwback to his buddy Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2?

Romero's one of the few people still making timely and politically relevant 'message movies'. Enough said. We don't get enough of that these days, and, as a result, most modern pics are a mere trifle that will be forgotten long before Romero's films fade from our collective memory. The man has a vision and he continues to make challenging films because he actually has something to say. I'm hard pressed to think of many other modern horror directors who even bother themselves with such concerns. Romero rules, now and forever, screw the competition!

Im still trying to figure out how I feel about Land and Diary...

Poor George....he doesn't know when to quit. I guess if George Lucas could keep putting out that clone crap, why can't "our" George. The magic is gone George, the magic is gone. -Peace
