Ah yes, somehow I saw this coming- but doesn’t mean I’m not happy about it! Reports have been flying around that if George A. Romero’s LAND OF THE DEAD (starring hottie Asia Argento) kicks box office ass, it could be the return of a DEAD trilogy.
had a chance to chat with Romero himself about this, and here’s what he had to say:
I mean, if this opens strong, I might be in a situation where I have to do another one of these or will be asked to do another one of these right away. In which case I’ve sort of left the characters, you know, the truck and those characters, [intact]. I’d want to almost make it chapter two of the same movie, if that happens, and just sort of finish the story…
I have an idea of … how to go with it, and I would think of it in my mind as almost one film. If I had to do it like next year. Unless we get nuked or something and there’s something else to talk about.”
You heard it folks, in short of a nuclear hollocaust, Romero’s on board for a second LAND installment- and from the buzz I’m hearing about his latest effort, I’m all for that baby!
Of course, he also mentions that if this were to happen he might have to pull out of MASTERS OF HORROR, which would suck ass… but I for one understand completely. If you’re going to go balls to the wall, might as well do it while you can!
