    New "? of the Dead" Info here..

    Hey everyone, I attended Zombie's take Charlotte and it was awesome. Part of the event was a one on one with GAR where he took questions from about 50 people. And it started with.. a 5 minute behind the scenes look at "? of the Dead". That was the title on the clap board in the preview btw.. I didn't make it up.

    I'm sorry to report I failed and my camera was out of power so I didn't get it filmed. I did however, get the whole Q&A on recorded on my phone.

    Some neat things we learned.

    • George wanted Savini to do a cameo one off super cool effect but Canadian film board got in the way.
    • ? of the Dead will finally touch upon what happens with animals
    • I saw more zombies in the 5 min behind the scenes than all of Diary
    • There is a cool feasting scene
    • It was sub-zero when they filmed it and it caused issues with the effect. But the zombies were troopers.


    That's just a taste. As soon as I find some hosting, I'll get the audio from the event online. Hopefully the Light Factory will get something online quickly as well.

    Well guess what. . .I had a camera!! It'll be on in a sec once I'm finished trimming it. For more stuff from the event look here.

    Oh, and an interesting tidbit. George said he addresses the issue of animals in this movie. Maybe a zombie animal in this one?

    Ok here it is. Came out kinda crappy and dark, it tilts a bit halfway through (I was trying to hide the camera just in case, and you can hear my sis coughing a bit. Sorry.. best I could do. Enjoy

    Awesome. I was so pissed when I went to record it. I bought both one of our HD cameras and my Zoom H4 audio record to make sure I grabbed it. Both were dead by then.

    That will teach me to film myself as an infected person in my hotel room while drunk the night before. I must have left both of them on.

    Nah, no problem at all. So was the party fun?

    Looking good, I'm getting really quite excited about this.

    One thing, though.I'm not nuts about the idea of involving animals (either as zombie chow or as zombies themselves) - I always thought that a) if zombies ate animals we'd have seen it by now, b) if animals became zombies upon death we'd definitely have seen it by now and c) if any animal can become zombified then there's simply no hope of escape, it's all over.

    That said, I'm sure Romero will have thought this through so I guess I'll just have to sit tight and see how they deal with it in the movie.

    nice vid, thanks for posting it.

    is it me or did the interview segments, esp. the one with the dude playing a zombie, seem completely sycophantic?

    Very, very promising. Thanks for posting it. By the way, did anyone notice the Carpenter "They Live" tracks?

    That says it for me as well. The idea of zombies eating animals...well...it just sorta flies in the face of what the movies (and the zombies themselves) have been ABOUT up until now (at least to me anyway)

    The idea of animals BECOMING zombies, while a scary concept in & of itself, once again, doesn't seem to "fit" in the "GAR-verse" to me...honestly it smacks of "Resident Evil".

    Hopefully, it addresses the issue as in: the zombies totally ignore cattle & go for the humans. But given the rumblings we've heard, I'm a bit leery. We'll see...

    Well we don't know what context it'll be in - for all we know a zombie will bite a dog and nothing will happen.

    Please let's not see:-
    1) Zombie animals.
    2) The living-dead the slightest bit interested in animals. Apart from a mouse in NOLTD, they've never been interested in animals. They want just human flash. Let's keep it that way, and not get gimmicky!

    The fact it's been talked about means we're probably going to enter gimmick land now
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Well the original LAND script called for Zombie Rats, but it was cut out for budget reasons. So I dunno. I for one would be interested in seeing a take on the subject.
