George Romero's new independent zombie movie sounds interesting. It started filming last October in Toronto. I read that it is supposed to be released this year? Below is a Synopsis of it that I found on the web.

With a story mixing elements of "The Blair Witch Project" and the long-running "Dead" series, the film will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a "cinema verite" style that causes more than the usual production headaches.

I think it's due out this November or December. Can't recall for certain. I believe Mr. Romero has a website. You might try and hunt that down and check what it says. I might be wrong, tho. Short on time for this bout of 'net skimming or I'd do the Google search myself.

Sorry....

OK Things calmed down all of a sudden and I decided to steal a few extra minutes and do a search. I can't access the site thanks to the COMM Nazis' here, but the website URL appears to be: http://www.georgearomero.com/ I confirmed that via the http://www.landofthedeadmovie.net/ website for Land of the Dead.

Found this at Wikipedia.com: Diary of the Dead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diary_of_the_Dead). I was wrong, tho: it has it's world premiere at the Toronoto International Film Festival on 8 September of this year.

The premiere will be on Sept 8th? Wow, that's like nest weekend!

Hopefully, there will be some exciting new zombie creations in theis film. Tom Savini's Bubba and Dr. Toungue are so original and cool.

It looks like the movie may be released directly to DVD.
