    play the name game...

    So....what are your guesses at the title of this next movie?

    Twilight of the Dead? (UGHHHH)....Urbanised area of the Dead? Zed of the Dead? Drive-in of the Dead?
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    I was under the impression it was called Island Of The Dead.

    Why would it be "planet"?

    Besides, there's already been "Planet Terror", so..."Midnight" is too time-specific, as well as a bit obvious, as is "Twilight" I would have figured.

    Island, or Isle of the Dead could be a possibility ... perhaps ... I think "of the Dead" in the title is a safe bet.

    I don't think they'll end up calling it "Island of the Dead". It's just a working title that they're using just now, but I think when it comes to distribution and negotiating with studios for a release they'll be asked to change it: it's so close to "Land of the Dead" that I think it would cause confusion

    However, I still think it will contain the words "...of the Dead", because even casual filmgoers associate that naming convention with Romero's films. The way distributors will see it, all the films directed by Romero containing these words in the title have made at least some profit. They will see it as a marketing hook.

    Isle of the Dead

    I doubt it'll be ISLAND OF THE DEAD, not so much because of the 2000 movie of the same name. More likely RKO's remake of ISLE OF THE DEAD (1945), which will probably be a more prominent release, will preclude George using such a similar title.

    (Incidentally, Romero was briefly attached to the ISLE OF THE DEAD remake, as about six years ago, when whomever it is that owns the Val Lewton titles began showing interest in remaking them.)
