Diary cameos

’Tis the weekend of DIARY OF THE DEAD. In another cool look behind the scenes of the zombie flick, it’s revealed (in a USA Today article) that Mr. Romero has put a few very cool cameos in DIARY – not that you’ll actually see any of them.

Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Simon Pegg, Wes Craven and Guillermo Del Toro will all be lending their voices in voice-over cameos. The actual nature of the voice-overs is not revealed, but if I’m guessing we’ll be hearing from a Mexican dispatcher, and perhaps a humerous British radio announcer….

Click it HERE to read the entire article, which also goes into the ways things as disparate as Hurricane Katrina and Myspace inspired the ever media-conscious Romero for this go-round.

While, to my knowledge, DIARY OF THE DEAD still doesn’t have a North American distributor, I fully expect that to change in the next few days.

Special thanks to “Lewish” for the heads-up!
