Joining BARRICADE on MySpace is George Romero’s next entry into his series of zombie flicks in DIARY OF THE DEAD! While there’s not too much stuff to see (yet), Romero and company had the smarts to post their production blog entries on their page, which you can see the first of right here.
With a story mixing elements of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and Romero’s own LIVING DEAD series, the film will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a “cinema verite” style that causes more than the usual production headaches. Currently filming up in Canada (sorry Pittsburgh fans), expect to see the film sometime next year.
