Promo Trailer and Synopsis for '...Of The Dead'!
Monday, January 5, 2009

Are you guys ready? We just got our grubby little hands on the promo trailer for George A. Romero's... of the Dead, which currently wrapped filming in Toronto, Canada. What do you guys think? Talk about it below. Starring Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti and Athena Karkanis, the film was written and directed by Romero. You can check out the new synopsis beyond the break.

Check out the first stills:

Sorry guys, we were served a cease and desist today and had to remove the video. We'll post the trailer again as soon as it's released.

On a small island off North America's coast, the dead rise to menace the living. Yet...the islanders can't bring themselves to exterminate their loved ones, despite the growing danger from those the once held dear. A rebel among them hunts down all the zombies he can find, only to be banished from the island for assassinating his neighbors and friends. On the mainland, bent on revenge, he encounters a small band of survivors in search of an oasis on which to build a new life. Barely surviving an attack from a mass of ravenous flesh-eaters. They commandeer a zombie-infested ferry and sail to the island. There, to their horror, they discover that the locals have chained the dead inside their homes, pretending to live 'normal' lives...with bloody consequences. What ensues is a desperate struggle for survival and the answer to a question never posed in Romero's Dead films: Can the living ever live in peace with the dead?

I have nothing but respect for Romero, and will defend him to the last, but it's getting hard to do with each movie looking cheaper than the last...Maybe it needs some more spit and polish, but this looks like "Flesh For The Beast" quality.

looks interesting, i like the plot. i love all romero's films, zombie and non-zombie films, and if he's doing a new film, im excited, he's the best on the genre

I love the look and feel of this one than i did of Diary - maybe because of the fp camera Diary had. But this one feels more like his roots - his low budget bare nothing Night of the Living Dead roots. Can't wait.

Lets hope Romero steps his game up a little on this one. I for one, am happy about a lower budget dead movie, the last thing we need is another "Land". Just hope Georges script is stronger than Diary. But hell, the man is 112 years and i'll gladly pay to see this. Cant wait.

I'd rather see a continuation of the original three movies, but this still looks good

more low budget Romero goodness. can't wait.

I really don't understand the bitching about land of the dead or diary. I thought diary was fantastic especially.

This looks like another miss for Romero. Three strikes, he is out.

OK we all know he's the master of zombie movies but he is a talented director period. It's time to do something different maybe still in this genre but not another tired zombie movie. I think he's resting on his laurels.

I enjoyed both Land of the Dead and Diary of the Dead on the big screen, and still consider both great movies. Hopefully this one will have a wider release than Diary.

Land and Diary were really bad. I get the feeling that Romero has found himself irrelevant in modern horror and feels pressure to be "the guy who has social commentary in his zombie movies" so he ends up grasping at straws. That being said, Night and Day are some of my favorite horror movies, so I secretly keep rooting for him anyway.

I loved Land because it simply showed no matter what happens sooner or later death(or zombies in this case) wins but Diary I could have done without but was a good story. I wish it had more to do with the other movies other then being during the same night as night of the living dead. I'm hoping Romero can give us some great movies to show he is the zombie king before he passes

Kaname Tousen

Land was a good 9/11 commenatry: "We were the ones who caused this to happen with our stupidity thinking we had control but when it crumbles the rich will abandoned the poor"

Looks to be good romero always does a good job hope he keeps on makin them.

The plot sounds awesome.. the movie looks HORRIBLE... I'm sorry but I'm not excited to see nothing after wasting money on Diary of the Dead. George Romero's directing is now DEAD.

mayohater

I have my hopes up for this one. Diary pretty much sucked so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Love Romero, so I hope he's got a few more great films left.

I wish Romero would stop filming in canada. The actors are horrible, especially when they try to do American accents.

Jonny Horror
1:40am, January 6, 2009

I agree. The plot does sound interesting, but the trailer looked cheap. Lots of respect for Romero and all he has contributed to horror. I thought DIARY was kind of boring and LAND was decent, not great. Maybe this will be better than the trailer suggests. I'll see it because it's Romero. I thought the remake of DAWN was really good.

love the plot but it looks like shit! Sorry, Georgie boy. Still love ya though

bring it on, he hasn't made a zombie movie i haven't like yet, im stoked

BrotherofTears
2:34am, January 6, 2009

I'll see this because I like all of Romero's previous zombie films, but this really doesn't look terribly interesting. It looks like a lot of other zombie movies from the last few years. Hopefully after this he'll do something completely different.

Joe Horror
2:35am, January 6, 2009

If its Romero then its goin to be good. The mans a fucking master.

Wow that looked dull. Since this is a Romero film we can ignore the shite acting, but even for a low budget film this looks poor. His camera work has become very commercial and average. It is possible that the film could still turn out good but that promo was not encouraging.

ThunderDragoon
6:51am, January 6, 2009

I'm not too excited about this one. I loved Diary and I was hoping he would do a sequel to that, but this looks horrible. Of course, never judge a movie by its trailer. Hopefully this one's better than it looks.

Vasquez
7:45am, January 6, 2009

I've got high hopes, two of my favorite movies ever was the original dawn and day... Land was a god awful pile of shit though, and Diary was "oK"... story of this new one sounds awsome and the low budget feel is for sure welcome. Can only wait and hope...

gutmuncher
10:17am, January 6, 2009

Land...was ok but I thougth Diary was fantastic. This looks to be pretty cool also. I do agree with he seems to be grasping at straws with some of these story lines. Why not go back to simple and make a simple old school zombie flick.

Personally I think the movie needs a lot of color correction work--it looks very dark and muted right now, but it's nothing they can't fix, and who knows, maybe they're even planning on doing it already, considering they JUST wrapped. I'm pretty sure it's the faded colors and contrasts that has made of you guys say it looks cheap, but the truth is, DI (color correction) happens to every movie, and we frequently don't get to see the "raw" footage. At least, this is what I think we're looking at.

drsjohnny
11:25am, January 6, 2009

this movie looks like it could be good

Ugh. George already made the best zombie movie that could ever be made. I'm thinking he shot his load.

Inga
11:59am, January 6, 2009

I have a great deal of respect for George Romero and I will see any of the movies that he puts out. I think that he has stayed true to his brand of horror. I can't wait to see this new one.

Looks like a big shit fest.

foghorne
12:31pm, January 6, 2009

im done with romero, he is feeding off his past glory and people let him. diary was garbage anf if it were made by anyone else, people would be raising hell. romero is like a punch drunk boxer who dosnt know when to hand up the gloves.

biledemon3

"Foghorne" Has the right idea! "feeding off past glory", is all that is going on here...

12:52pm, January 6, 2009

Ugh i just watched the trailer and this film looks like poop.Romero is exploring crap thats been beat with the ugly stick over and over... shit, he wil be doing a Hood(gangster) vs Zombie film next...

stuntgirlstef
1:23pm, January 6, 2009

Night, Dawn, and Day are some of the best horror movies ever made. Land was alright. Diary is a joke, I can't understand how anyone can watch it without cringing, let alone enjoy it. This trailer is really flat, I mean, there weren't even any zombies in it. As far as I can tell this movie is about cowboys shooting each other. I have a feeling this will be another snooze fest, but I'm really hoping I'm wrong.

Irish Mic
1:36pm, January 6, 2009

George has lost his stuff I have no desire to see this. It looks just as bad as the last two films he did. I think he just needs to hang it up and stop living off the glory of his good films which are what thirty years and older.

comfycasket
3:25pm, January 6, 2009

Romero is a one hit wonder, he keeps doing the same crap over and over, and it all sucks, he needs to give it up already, he's never going to make another dawn of the dead. Romero is washed up.

f**k u
4:24pm, January 6, 2009

never was a Zombie fan but Romero knows how to make them...looks ok to me should be good.

Horror Writer
5:21pm, January 6, 2009

I've grown to love Land of the Dead but I can't stand Diary. I hope this new one saves his franchise, or else he should leave it another 10 or 20 years like he used to

tszilla
5:22pm, January 6, 2009

Okay people, remember, IT'S STILL IN PRODUCTION! It was a tease, a bunch of quick images and a few lines of dialogue to whet our appetites, not finished product. Jesus Christ, if it weren't for the envelope pushing earlier films by George A. Romero we can only guess what the state of horror woul be today. You'd all be bitching on a website called Mildly Unsettling about remakes of Roger Cormans Edgar Allen Poe movies by a guy not named Rob fucking Zombie because the only zombies anyone could remember would be from frigging Val Lewton movies from the 1940's. Okay, I'm done ranting, resume complaining.

Blood-Sicles
7:06pm, January 6, 2009

Yeah, the trailer has me anything but pumped because of how boring it looks. Diary wasn't bad, but wasn't great either...I like the low budget look though. He's gone back to his roots in filmmaking, but the story sounds like crap.

Jhanse29
9:19pm, January 6, 2009

I think this one looks more promising the Diary and Land which were both ok but nothing exceptional.

cynthia82
2:15am, January 7, 2009

He is by far, the director that made zombies popular in horror movies, love Mr. Romero! Love all his movies, his latest 'Diary of the Dead was scary as hale! I hope it be released in theaters soon.

JohnMarrone
10:04am, January 7, 2009

Romero's films have always relied on the characters involved. The horror is always just a backdrop and finale. Think of Monkey Shines and first three deads. Only good if you like the characters involved. Like in Diary - I dont think anyone cared about any of those "please die" characters. Thus it widely sucked. Plus cmon - godfather of zombies - give us some of what made Savini famous. Chew these fuckers up hardcore style!!! Diary was weak. This one depends on if we like the story, the characters threatened, and if there's something to cringe over gore-wise. Otherwise nobody is gonna bite another installment.

George caught lightning in a bottle when he made "Dawn". It is an absolute masterpiece. "Day" was good, but the rest are SHIT.

Zombie21
1:56pm, January 7, 2009

Its looks good, but I hope Romero doesnt name it ...of the dead.

HORRORguy1074
6:08pm, January 7, 2009

FUCK yeah! Some people may believe that Romero got lucky w/ Dawn and should hang 'em up for good, and although Land & Diary weren't great, I didn't think they were THAT bad and I'll admit I'm excited to see this one!

cjhorrorfan13

what is this??

Know it All Joe
6:57pm, January 7, 2009

I didn't like the Diary of the Dead nor Land of the Dead, both were weak Zombie epics. So I have doubts.

Chris is Dead
7:35pm, January 7, 2009

It's over..he needs to stop before his flicks get any worse. land, and diary were horrible. and this looks like another film i'll have to watch multiple times because i'll fall asleep before it's over.the trailer's nowhere as interesting as the plot outline.

Zariff Peoples
8:44pm, January 7, 2009

Can't Wait for this one. True horror fans always get excited when george decides to grace of with another "of the dead" film. Enjoy it while you can, because nobody does it better. I loved the twist to diary of the dead and land of the dead was well done. Hopefully I can be as good at making horror films when my time comes.

Chris is Dead
10:10pm, January 7, 2009

i am completely serious in saying this...zombie strippers is better than this.

Kaledyn
12:38am, January 8, 2009

It's a leaked trailer and a film that is still in production. C'mon guys, at least wait until the flick is released before you let out your hate.

dinny
11:11pm, January 17, 2009

To everybody talking about it being low budget, lets not forget almost all Romero's other ones are and are classics! And I agree with Kaledyn, It's a leaked trailer and a film that is still in production. C'mon guys, at least wait until the flick is released before you let out your hate. It will be amazing and i hope it gets a better release than Diary.
