    Director George Romero is beginning production on an untitled thriller. Once again, the antagonists are flesh-eating zombies.Romero first mined zombies with "Night of the Living Dead" and has been cannibalizing the genre since, most recently with "Diary of the Dead."

    Romero wrote the new film and began shooting this week in Ontario.

    Plot involves 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.

    Cast includes Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti and Athena Karkanis.

    Paula Devonshire is producing. Romero is exec producer along with Peter Grunwald, D.J. Carson and Artfire Films' Ara Katz, Art Spigel and Dan Fireman. Voltage Pictures is handling international sales, and Cinetic Media will sell domestic.

    I'm getting vibes of the Day original script with some of the sounds of this one, and I'm not the only one who has said such a thing either.

    Hopefully he will be incorporating (albeit updated/altered) ideas from that original Day script.

    Let's just hope he's got a good story/script with some good solid characters and plot ideas...

    Agreed, and I too would like to see him drop the POV he used in Diary.

    So I think we're all in agreement:

    1) No more POV please.
    2) Solid strength in the script, tone back the politics a smidge.

    Ideal ... ball's in GAR's court.

    ...

    Obviously I'm still giddy as a GAR fan.
