Yay! 28 Days is out at the start of November.

Directed by Danny Boyle, I don't know much about it yet, but here's hoping it's good.

Also, I read that Romero is planning a fourth in the 'of the dead' series, taking it on to a stage where humans are ignoring the problem, living in walled cities, with the zombies living on the outside. I hope he gets to make it, but he reckons he's having problems getting it of the ground.

I've seen his script (well, not his actual script, but it typed up on a computer, not in his handwriting or anything....I digress) adn believe me, they made the right decision. He wasn't faithful to the storyline at all, but it was meant to be the original game. He had Barry as a big butch black bald man, instead of a middle aged, white, ginger man with hair. There were many other story details that were completely wrong as well.

I bet it would have been a good film though, if all the mistakes had been corrected.

It's Return of the Living Dead 3, i've got it on DVD. The one film with a Zombie that's actually quite fit.

Return of the Living Dead is one of my fav films ever.

Romero has actually announced that the next Dead film to be known as 'Dead Reckoning' is 90% sure to go ahead.

This is taken from another can't remember what the address is though

Updated August 19, 2002 -- The big news from this year's Fangoria Weekend of Horrors was George A. Romero's announcement that a fourth Living Dead film now looks likely, and could be distributed by 20th Century Fox. "I do have a script at Fox for a fourth zombie film, which looks like it's going to happen," Romero said Saturday, August 17 at the Fango conference at the Pasadena Center. He added that the film would likely be R-rated for its theatrical release, then make it to DVD in an unrated version. "They're basically going to let me make my film and cut it back for R-rated release." The film, currently titled "Dead Reckoning," should be budgeted at about $10 million. "It's going to be the most expensive one," Romero said. Romero was the highlight of the biggest Weekend of Horrors in years.

I can't wait, GAR is the man when it comes to Zombie films.

Romero's not bored of the series, it's just he's been continually shafted by the studio types who give him money and then withdraw it. Day and Dawn of the Dead only got made because Euro-horror man of the moment Dario Argento secured lots of dollars for them, on the proviso that he got to re-edit the films for the European market.

Now Romero's back in the same position as he was after Night of the Dead, he wants to make a film but he can't get the money for it. Originally he had been contracted to make "Resident Evil" but then presumably the execs saw his other movies and thought "ARGH! Social commentary, mild satire, what have we done?!", then someone showed them "Mortal Kombat" and they thought "yes, Paul Anderson is the man" but only after categorically confirming that he wasn't the Paul Thomas Anderson who had made "Magnolia".
