Romero Shoots Zombies Yet Again!
Whoa, zombie fans -- heads up! Looks like old man Romero’s at it again! He's just begun shooting a new zombie flick in Ontario (isn’t that, like, his Pittsburgh away from home?). Here’s the synopsis, straight from the Variety Horse’s mouth, "Plot involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure."
The cast includes Alan Van Sprang (Diary of the Dead), Kenneth Welsh (The Covenant), Kathleen Munroe (various police procedurals), Devon Bostick (Saw IV), Richard Fitzpatrick (The Boondock Saints), Stefano Colcitti (The Chronicles of Riddick) and Athena Karkanis (Saw IV).
Popular belief on this flick was that it was going to be a sequel to Diary of the Dead, but aside from the casting of Alan Van Sprang, this doesn’t sound like much of a sequel, does it? And, to be honest, it sounds a little like a remake of Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2. Hmmm...
