George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead
updates are just pouring in today. Earlier today we told you about a new behind-the-scenes sneak peek and now we've got a photo gallery chock full o' zombies below the jump.

George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead debuts at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

In a world where the dead rise to menace the living, rogue soldier Crocket (Alan Van Sprang) leads a band of military dropouts to refuge from the endless chaos. As they search for a place “where the shit won't get you,” they meet banished patriarch Patrick O’ Flynn (played with zeal by Kenneth Welsh), who promises a new Eden on the fishing and ranching outpost Plum Island. The men arrive, only to find themselves caught in an age-old battle between O’ Flynn ’ s family and rival clan the Muldoons. It turns out that Patrick was expelled from the isle for believing that the only good zombie is a dead zombie, while the Muldoons think it ’ s wrong to dispatch afflicted loved ones, attempting to look after their undead kinfolk until a cure is found.

A desperate struggle for survival will determine whether the living and the dead can coexist.
