Romero sick?!
Shocking news from numerous sources regarding the health of one horror's most beloved directors in George Romero. Romero, who was to appear at this year's Rock & Shock Festival, collapsed last week and was hospitalized. No reason was given for the collapse, which is said to have stemmed from a non life-threatening illness, but because of it, Romero's jump on DIARY OF THE DEAD has been grounded for two months, along with personal appearances.
Romero, who turned 66 this past February, was also getting ready to begin his "Zombisodes" project, as well as writing and directing a film based on a short story by Koji Suzuki (author of RINGU and IN THE DEPTHS OF DARK WATER aka DARK WATER). No other information on Romero's status was available on his official site, so hold tight for any more information that comes of this.

That said...watch. His mysterious illness will be the zombie plague having formulated in his blood and now he's going to literally populate the world with the dead for real, rather than just on film.
