Romero to Release Another Zombie Flick

I ask myself all the time, what is my fascination with all things zombie? Who cares! It's mindless (literally!) entertainment, and I love it. Give me 'Dawn of the Dead', 'Resident Evil', '28 Days Later', 'Shaun of the Dead', and now George A. Romero, the original zombie master, has a new release, 'George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead'.

Romero calls the film "a rejigging of the myth," and intends it to be a reboot of his zombie movie franchise. The story follows a group of students who are making an indie horror film. Unfortunately, life imitates art and the group become trapped in a world being consumed by living corpses. The filmmakers then begin to document the real-life horrors occurring around them.

There's no immediate word on when Weinstein might release the flick on the big screen, but stay tuned.

Yippee! The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this week.

'Army of the Dead' Flick Coming Soon

Get ready zombie flick fans! Zack Snyder is set to direct 'Army of the Dead', an epic-scale project that's sure to have undead fans feeling giddy with glee.

Snyder directed 2004's 'Dawn of the Dead', and most recently the box office smash '300'.

Army is reportedly set in a not-too-distant future where the city of Las Vegas has been quarantined. The action revolves around a father who tries to save his daughter from the zombies.

Snyder and Warners have already hired screenwriter Joby Harold (Awake) to write the script.

The film may be shot, as 300 hundred was, entirely against green screen with visuals added later. Snyder told Daily Variety that Army of the Dead will have a sweeping, epic quality. "I feel like there hasn't been a zombie movie on the scale that we want to do it," he said.

I loves me some zombies! I can't wait.
