Hard to believe that George A. Romero is at it again with another zombie flick in the works (check out the details HERE). Lucky for us, it’s not a sequel to DIARY OF THE DEAD, but another entry into his “DEAD” series.
Variety announced today that the untitled zombie flick has just scored quite an impressive cast–you ready for it? Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti, and Athena Karkanis have all joined the zombie project, which started filming principal photography earlier this week.
Welsh appeared in THE FOG remake, while both Bostick and Karkanis had roles in SAW IV. That’s right, we’re not talkin’ about a bunch of light-weights when it comes to the genre here.
According to Variety, the flick’s about inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure.
There may not be a title yet, but I’m thinking ISLAND OF THE DEAD sounds pretty damn good, all things considered. Remember folks, if it’s true–you heard it here first! Is the world ready for another Romero zombie flick? I know I am!
