Diary of the Dead 2 Production Begins (?)

[DubiousComforts]

Click for article. Already, absolutely hysterical comments... "This really pisses me off. Not because the last movie was complete and utter buttcrack, but because I know I'm going to eventually buy it. It's hard being a horror fan in your thirties." "I always look forward to a new Romero movie but, I'm not gonna Hold my breath for another Great. Oh! and George how about a remake of 'Martin' Surely with todays FX It could be Fantastic." The movie has yet to begin shooting and already it delivers.

The movie has yet to begin shooting and already it delivers. my fav comment from there has got to be this one: im so stoked for another bad movie from him again like whoa dude. how tubeular. i'm gonna need a rocking chair and some popcorn for the run up to this flick.

Those are hilarious. Another to add to the list: "Diary of George Romero's Political Agenda 2"

Come on man. . I don't think anyone was suggesting that the technical quality was worse in the new movies. . .The "quality" in this case refers to the story, the passion, and the originality of the first three movies, that is lacking in the last 2. Especially in the case of Diary. But that's the point--those aspects are entirely subjective unlike, say, Russo's films which are all bad. i'm gonna need a rocking chair and some popcorn for the run up to this flick. There's no way the actual film can ever live up to the anti-hype. Those are hilarious. Another to add to the list: "Diary of George Romero's Political Agenda 2" Several brainiacs even believe the accompanying artwork is real. "George's A. Romero's"?

There's no way the actual film can ever live up to the anti-hype. probably not. we should really compile the choice bits of internet wisdom leading up to this film. it would make a completely entertaining read. in addition, let's start our own rumors and see if anyone runs with it. the more outrageous the better. something like, "i hear the flying monkeys from the wizard of OZ are gonna make an appearance." and "i heard it from someone on set that the zombie col. sanders is the leader of the dead civilization."

I heard that if you watch this film and like it that you turn into a newt.

I heard that if you watch this film,you die 7 days later!

"i heard it from someone on set that the zombie col. sanders is the leader of the dead civilization." Oh, great. They're not satisfied just eating us raw; now zombies are demanding "7 herbs and spices". Damn ungrateful ghouls...

I heard that if you watch this film and like it that you turn into a newt. But you'll get better!! I heard that this movie is going to feature Big Daddy before his zombiefication. He is just as loud and annoying alive!! Filming begins in Toronto on September 15th. Click for article. Sooooo. . Riddle me this then? If filming begins on Sept 15th? What's George doing in Charlotte all weekend from the 19th to the 21st? Hmmmmm. . .

I heard that the movie will feature a zombie civilization and will continue in the handheld documentary style even though Jason is dead and everyone who lived through the movie criticized him for doing that. Face it - you can't make up a rumor more ridiculous than the truth. *crying* "George's A. Romero's"? It's an intentional error. That is the poster's social commentary on George's legendary inattention to detail. It's a reflection of the times. I'm sorry you didn't "get" it.

[Mike70]

Face it - you can't make up a rumor more ridiculous than the truth. *crying* that won't stop us from trying. Sooooo. . Riddle me this then? If filming begins on Sept 15th? What's George doing in Charlotte all weekend from the 19th to the 21st? Hmmmmm. . . coming into to town to smoke a fat one with you?

[clanglee]

coming into to town to smoke a fat one with you? Aside from that. . .

[Trin]

I know I'm not usually the optimistic one around here, nor am I the modern day GAR fanboy, but there are some things in the article that give me hope. Waves of ravenous zombies sounds good. Desperate struggle. Good. I'd also have to say that if you took the characters in Diary and asked me which ones I'd be okay with seeing survive for a sequel I probably would've chosen the exact group that survived. I'm going to ignore the zombie civilization thing. I'm just going to pretend that means "lots of them." And the whole peace thing I'm going to interpret as "putting them at peace."

The glass is half full of rotting entrails Trin.

When do the werewolves show up? Romero could use them to symbolize americas treatment of the war against terror or something.... Nah, he'd just tell us about it repeatedly throughout the course of the movie.
