Nachdem der Meister aller Zombie Filme bei 'Land of the Dead' nicht ganz zufrieden mit der Zusammenarbeit zwischen ihm und Universal Studios war, hat sich George A. Romero entschieden sein nächstes Projekt, 'Diary of the Dead', wieder komplett als independent Produktion auf die Beine zu stellen. Was soll ich sagen ... 'Diary' ist fertig! Hier Romero mit seinen eigenen Worten von seinen MySpace Seite:

Hi, guys,

Lemme tell ya about Diary of the Dead. I love it. It’s the first film since my original Night of the Living Dead that I can say is completely my own.

I’ve been trying to work under-the-radar, with no hype or press, but lately I've started hearing all kinds of shit about 'What’s goin' on with Romero?' 'What’s with his new film?'

Gimme a break over here! I'm up in Toronto workin' my ass off, making Diary the best it can be. Truth is, I'm having a blast. I've gone home to the kind of filmmaking that I used to do, back in the day.

Diary is a hundred percent independent, made with my partner, Peter Grunwald, and our new friends at Artfire. I haven't had this much freedom since 1968. The cast, of what film critics will probably call 'unknowns' (they won’t be for long) is, in my opinion, fuckin' great.

This one comes from my heart. It's not a sequel or a remake. It's a whole new beginning for the dead.

Thanks to all of you who are out there waiting and wondering. You guys, the fans, have always kept me going. Now Diary's keeping me going, night, dawn, and day.

I love this movie. I hope you will, too. I'll be back here from time to time to keep you posted. Stay tuned.

Stay scared.

George A. Romero

Nichts als gute Nachrichten. Wenn mir jetzt noch jemand sagen könnte, wann wir 'Diary' zu sehen bekommen ...
