The Official George Romero Myspace page has just premiered a new video for SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD; although this one isn’t a trailer or a behind-the-scenes sneak peek. This looks to be an “intro” of sorts, to a character named “Sarge”. Here, Sarge talks about the troubles on the island where the film takes place, as well as his opinion on what makes a good zombie… (It’s labeled “Part 1”, so obviously we’ll be bringing you Part 2 as soon as it goes online.)
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. But their bid for stability on the homestead has turned perverse: the undead are chained inside their homes, pretending to live normal lives – and the consequences are bloody. A desperate struggle for survival will determine whether the living and the dead can coexist.
We’re still waiting on an official release date for SURVIVAL, although it will be making it’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, which I’m not going to… (sad face)
