[Mike70]

Self flagellation thread capped. "At least we'll laugh..." That is exactly what it was like with me and my staff at our bunker when we heard the news.

[AcesandEights]

I thought that WAS you & your staff in your bunker? Nah, all my henchmen wear unitards, I thought you knew this from your last visit to the Acesbunker.

*sigh* I'll see it and most likely purchase the blu ray out of some sort of misplaced loyalty to Romero, but i'm not expecting to like it....

Would be better if it was about a group on the move making stops at small towns, gas stations and diners for supplies.

Self flagellation thread capped. Nice!

Would be better if it was about a group on the move making stops at small towns, gas stations and diners for supplies. I was thinking the same thing. Like some sort of existential journey across a dead America at the fag-end of the human race, that just so happened to feature zombies. That I would watch.

I'm figuring that zombie finally learned how to turn on the ignition and hit the pedal on Independence Avenue... It still doesn't make me want to be its friend.

[capncnut]

It still doesn't make me want to be its friend. Zombie drivers... they creep me out...

[shootemindehead]

Nice one Capn.

lol! Back when Land started to make money on DVD there were some rumours concerning a direct sequel that would focus on the dead reckoning travelling through America. If only he did that one. I'm still quite fond of those characters and certainly wouldn't mind seeing a zombie road movie like that. This Zombie-drivers bullshit is most likely a joke. Right? RIGHT? Somewhere I suspect George reading this thread and having a laugh.

Somewhere I suspect George reading this thread and having a laugh. I remember those rumours. A journey up into Canada - the promised land, if you will - would be an interesting flick ... minus the zombie drivers idea, which I do hope it bollocks. It was a mere mention in Night, and even then it was merely "trying", so it was probably some old geezer who keeled over in his car while it was still on and resurrected behind the wheel.

I suspect it's either a joke, or a joking exaggeration of some small element in the script, like if Savini came toward in 1984 and announced that Day of the Dead was about zombies learning to shave. I hope. A short scene with a zombie strapped into a driver's seat of a still running car and remembering how to hit the accelerator, could be a decent set piece. Mad Max zombies, though, not cool. As long as the man keeps making movies, I will watch them. It's not about loyalty, per se: I actually enjoyed the last three films, just not in the same way I enjoy the Trilogy. The Trilogy I enjoy as classics, Land-to-Survival I enjoy in the same way I enjoy cheesy B-movies like Trancers and The Deadly Spawn. As long as he keeps making movies, though, there is a chance, however slim, he will strike gold again. Or at least silver. But if he doesn't, no loss; there's always room for trash cinema on my shelves. If he was to retire, that slim chance of success would drop to zero. That's the way I see it, anyway.
