Chances of there being a sequel (or another dead film)?

[Trencher]

I would hope so but I don't think so.

[Creepshow]

I voted 3, because I really have no idea either way -- but I'm not really bothered whether there's another one or not. To me, the original trilogy is what's important - Night, Dawn & Day.

Having given it a 3, I say ... As George is constantly saying, as long as he's standing he'll make another. And yet this is countered when he says that he has nothing to write about at the moment. If Universal calls for a sequel, it'll be continuation. I don't know how strong this will be though ... The zombie film resurgance has already crested and is now on the downslope. This is when all the debris slide to the bottom of the pile (indie zombie films, unabashed cash-ins) and we begin to see a massive regurgitation (think post grunge music era - the bandwagon effect). Watered-down imitations and such. The chances that interested will wain is high because of this. Given the nature of the industry, I forsee one possible scenario: George passes away before another film is made. There was, however, a script he completed or almost completed. They choose a likely and yet underserving candidate to helm the project (Eli Roth vs. John Carpenter), thus starting yet another fanboy war amongst the community. The movie is made, and we continue waving flags at each other in allegiance to our favorites. Not very positive reflections, I know, but perhaps more likely than we'd all admit ... Dum Dum Dum Dum!!!!!! That's it right there folks! Reality in a nutshell! I couldn't have come up with a better answer than that! I think Cereval has hit the nail righ ton the head here. all we can do is hope, but as we all know how the wheels of hollywood turn, it may never happen! My fingers are certainly crossed!

Hasn't George said that he has two more movies to add to the series? I can't remember where I heard it, but I think it was an interview.

I think we'll see at least one more film in the dead universe made by George. I think I heard/read a rumor that there was a possibility of Anchor Bay financing it. I guess only time will tell!

Hasn't George said that he has two more movies to add to the series? I can't remember where I heard it, but I think it was an interview. In a few different interviews, I've heard him say he wants Land to be 4 of 6 and I've hearm him say 4 of 8. I don't think it was a definite thing - just a projection for what he feels about the series.

Hopefully we get atleast one more. This has nothing to do with this thread, or really anything at all, but I waited in line by you for the mall tour to start a few years ago.

It's not entirely impossible that we could get two more films out of him in the "Dead" series. I would love to see at least two more "dead" related films. I would also love to see George make something of the same caliber as Martin or Knightriders as well!

This has nothing to do with this thread, or really anything at all, but I waited in line by you for the mall tour to start a few years ago. Really? For the midnight tour? Were you with a friend?

[Mortis]

Yeah, the late one where we had to sit there what seemed like forever. I was with a couple friends. I looked at your pics and I'm in a few of them. I'm the big, bald dude on the right of Ken in the pictures where he was in front of JCP. I also met jscott that day, but I didn't know it was him until we talked about it on-line. Really? For the midnight tour? Were you with a friend?

He's probably got time to give us one more. Hell, because "Land" was a decent success, he could possibly talk the studio into letting him film two more films back-to-back. He did say we wanted to top off the series with two more.

Personally, I think it's lack of box office success in the United States will keep it from getting a sequel more than anything.

[bassman]

Well, according to Romero they have already offered him the chance to do another film but he turned it down until the time is right. True, it didn't do as some hoped at the box office in the U.S. but it did great over seas and on DVD. So basically, it's pretty much resting on the shoulders of Romero and whether or not he's inspired by something going on in the world. When that happens, we'll see another one.

[Svengoolie]

Where'd he say that? Personally, I'm skeptical....although it might be true that they offered to give him another chance, but with a greatly reduced budget--the way ol' Tricky Dick Rubenstein did back in the 90s.

[bassman]

I remember reading it in some article around here a while back. I can't find it but someone had posted it(before you were around) and it basically said that he had the support to do another because Land was successful and the DVDs were "flying off shelves", but he was holding out until he had some sort of inspiration from the government/world/etc.
