George Romeros next Zombie film is a what?

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Night of the Living Dead filmmaker George A. Romero's next project is a race car zombie movie.

Romero co-wrote the film, titled George A. Romero Presents: Road of the Dead, with Matt Birman, who's also directing. The movie will make its way to Frontières, the Fantasia International Film Festival’s annual film co-production market in Montreal, which takes place from July 20 to July 23, according to Indiewire.

Birman was a second unit director on Romero's last three films, including Survival of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Land of the Dead. He first pitched the idea of Road of the Dead almost 10 years ago, which Birman says takes heavy inspiration from Ben-Hur, Rollerball and The Road Warrior. The story follows zombie prisoners racing cars for the wealthy in a modern-day Coliseum on a remote island.

Last year, Romero discussed the current state of zombie movies and why, because of the success of The Walking Dead, he can't make zombie films of "substance" anymore.

A RACE CAR ZOMBIE MOVIE??

This has the potential to be more shit than Survival of the dead and Diary of the dead combined.

Night of the Living Death Race 2000 then?

Well its official George Romero has given up.

Though it can't be worse than land,Dairy and Survival of the Dead.

I have an idea. How about a movie called "Day after the Dead" where we have people trying to put life together after the zombie apacolypse. It can center around people trying to either rebuild a whole new way of life a few generations later as if society can have a second chance to correct the mistakes of man before zombies. And people who of course want to f*** things up with corruption.

And to spice it up. Throw in a person who had the DNA to cure the virus and a scumbag somewhere who keeps the a pack of zombies as an expensive tourist attraction.

It would be more of drama\horror film that examines life after the worse case scenario. And shows that evil will always find a way to exist. The blood and gore will come from a combination of what people will do to each other as if they are still objective driven Zombies, then the real deal comes back in the end.

Nice to finally see an adaptation of Carmageddon.

[Mozenrath]

It's at least something different, so on that front, sure, might be fun.

Well when you think of it. But I was more like way after the zombies stopped being the major problem. No random herds. Electricity and plumbing has made a comeback. Like starting over in a reasonable sense. The world is actually taking advantage of another chance. Until human nature screws it up again.

Wait...how did I miss the first 32 seasons of Walking Dead?

[Deleted]

Romero finally got around to watching Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, I see.

Great zombie flick by the way.

[Malcolm]

It could've been worse.

It could've been a zombie porno.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Betting I enjoy it more than Day of the Dead,yeah I know it is considered a modern classic.

[GuyOfOwnage]

Romero just gives no f***s anymore. I love it.

[WoodStoner1]

So...theaters or SyFy?

[Hassan bin Sober]
