You do surprise me Dubs, I posted this three weeks ago. Diary 2 to begin production this September. Here's the lowdown. The boys over at Dread Central are reporting that George A. Romero is set to direct Diary of the Dead 2 this September. The website "learned that George has to attend several meetings about DIARY 2 which have the project significantly hitting the fast track. So significantly that we got the word it's 99.9% a go for the film to start production this September..." Our heroes, trapped in the mansion where we left them, battle waves of ravenous zombies, barely escaping alive. In search of a safe place to settle, they commandeer an abandoned ferry and sail to a deserted island, only to find that it is already populated by a civilization of the dead. The next episode of the saga is a violent siege set in the middle of nowhere, a desperate struggle for survival, and peace, between two tribes: the living and the living dead. But yeah, let the battles commence...

How bout ' it !! So it's true. I have no problem with another Romero Zombie film. And I'm sure it'll be better than the first Diary .... Danny T.

Ugh. Come on, George! Leave the dead alone. Do something else, man. I love your dead movies, but it's time to move on...

You do surprise me Dubs, I posted this three weeks ago. This is different news, however, about the alleged opening of the Diary 2 production office in Toronto. Next news report: Uncle George opens a new can of beans!

[Danny Terror]

This is being reported on several sites now. All within a few hours. I think it's real. So here we go again ... Now someone start crying

Meh. Better than nothing? Right? I would prefer this than have GAR go on a completely zombie haitus like he did from Day to Land.

After reading the article, I can't help but be proud of Mr. Romero for sticking to his guns and going forth with not only another first person film, but also going forth with the whole zombie intellegence uprising as well. I believe that he is doing the right thing by going forth with this franchise (just like he always said he would, depending on the success of the first entry). It keeps him busy and hopefully he will give us a little bit better of an offering this time, even though I do like Diary (7 out of 10).

Well, it'd be hard for it to be worst, and we need more decent zombie movies, so I'll cross my fingers.

civilization of the dead. and peace, between two tribes: the living and the living dead.

How does one make peace with a "society" of mindless cannibals? Maybe build the giant King Kong wall and sacrifice a woman to the zombies on the other side each full moon? I would love to see that contractural agreement!

Yeah I reckon it'll be hard to be worse than the original, so really the only way is up. There's no way George hasn't seen the flaws with Diary, it was a valiant effort but it needed much more work and a fresh pair of eyes to give some constructive criticism...let's hope this time around he nails it, we know he's got the talent!

That's right. And while Diary sure ain't perfect, for a little, cheap George Romero Zombie film it's passable in most respects. We can't think of Diary like we do NOTLD. While that was another inexpensive, small George Romero Zombie film he had more help that time and we can't think of Diary like DOTD because, well ... There will never be anything like that again. But a NEW film that's a sequel to Diary can open up a lot of new Zombie stuff that might really work out even to the people that hated Diary. (And let's face it LAND.) I say we are in for a treat man.
