Of the Dead update

The update is, it still doesn’t have a title. Even George Romero doesn’t know what it will eventually be called… Plus, it’s really about Palestine.

That’s what iF Magazine found out when they talked with the Zombie King and asked him what the status of the title is, as it still sits at …OF THE DEAD.


“They will probably want something on it, but that’s just been the working title. Even the backs on the director’s chair said “… OF THE DEAD” and we haven’t decided on anything yet.”

Romero goes on to discuss what awful trait of humanity’s this new film will subversively undercut.

“It’s about tribalism. It’s about war. It’s about people unable to hang up their guns and keeping their gloves on in the face of this crazy thing. I guess it’s about Palestine. It’s tribalism.”

Take that, Palestine! (And f*ck you too, tribalsm!)
