USA Today recently had the chance to sit down with legendary horror director George A. Romero and not only did the publication get some sweet details on the godfather of the zombie film’s next installment in the Dead series but a sweet picture from the film as well! Okay, so the picture isn’t too exciting – but it’s Romero! Show some damn respect! Check out the pic below but first read what Romero had to say about his newest flick…
"It's this whole idea of tribalism - that we can't pull it together. News reports about the presidential race still bring up religious topics or racism. That's pretty much the central theme." said Romero on the film’s philosophy, “There are two factions. It's the idea that even when faced with a crisis, tribal concerns about power control people's motives. One side wants to kill off zombified loved ones before cannibalistic urges strike. The other would rather wait to see if there is a cure for such cravings. They want to leave Grandma in the rocking chair for a while longer. It's not a good idea."
Well said George… so where does the new flick fall in with the other installments in the series? According to Romero this film will take place on a small island a few weeks after the original outbreak in 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. "Diary was like Night. It had a brooding personality," he says. This one is more like Dawn - with a lot of action."
