Romero tells tales

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

I can remember reading about this a
couple of months back, but when I did it was no more than a blurb in amongst an
interview. However, it’s now looking hopeful that George A. Romero’s SHARING
JOY AND SORROW will be seeing the light of day sometime in the near future.

We got word today from Richard
Robinson that the project that he once approached the Great Romero with, and
than partnered on, has been picked up by Taurus Entertainment and is looking
towards a 2007 shoot. Robinson will be on-board as writer, co-producer, and
possibly co-director.

SHARING JOY &
SORROW is inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.
It follows nine frightening fables set in a town riddled with creatures,
monsters, murderers and cannibals.

Robinson had the
following to say about the script: “This is probably one
of the few scripts I’ve written that pushes the envelope. My ultimate goal for
this project is to create a film that’s not just a throwback to ’70s and ’80s
horror, but to also keep it rich and original for the new generation of horror
fans. Ideally, it would be amazing to attract actors like Bruce Campbell, Bill
Moseley, Tom Savini, David Hess and Sid Haig, to name a few. The piece lends
itself to a large ensemble cast, and it would be awesome to involve the people
who best represent the genre with those who are rising stars. That’s if their
schedules permit, of course.”

I think this
will be a huge hit no matter what. Everyone can relate to those fairy tales and
there has not been nearly enough horror films based on these stories. I know I’m
pumped to see what it’ll look like, and based on the picture (seen above) that
was sent along with this email, I’m sure there are a ton of you out there dying
to catch a glance of it as well.
