George Romero's 'Land of the Dead' Official

Bloody-disgusting.com: "Variety reports that 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.' [The movie], 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 ... 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."

Woo! I'm a huge fan of the "Dead" movies specifically, and zombie movies generally (heck, I even really enjoyed "Resident Evil"), so this is great news. On the other hand, there's almost no chance this movie will be any good. That said, I'll be first in line to see it.
