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?

I hope it's something like "Midnight" or "Planet" of the Dead.... wait, are those already taken?

MinionZombie

Why would it be "planet"? :rockbrow:

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. :D

I reckon it'll start with Dead....something......like Dead Reckoning - but not...

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.

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.)

At this point, I hope he drops "of the dead" entirely and goes with a more creative title, something that makes it stand out. How many movie titles end in "of the Dead"? Too damn many.

Y'know, a couple days ago when it was announced that it would NOT be "Island" & that the working title was "...of the Dead" I had the weird idea, what if the title IS "...of the Dead"?!?!

Dunno who I would feel about that. On one hand, ol' George's dead movies are the definitive enough take on the genre I COULD see it working. On the other hand, it would seem kinda vague...:confused:

I totally agree, I know the movie gets destroyed by critics but I thought it was good for the time it came out and it capitalized on the fear in the country at the height of the cold war. Some of the images like the Russian tank in front of McDonalds, very powerful. To have the "red army" in front of something so Iconic and American was moving.

Also the loss and sacrifice in the film felt very real, and of course who does not like cheering for the underdog?

Even more so when the underdog is your age and taking on your countries worst enemy.

The bit at the end with the plaque in the mountains. Brilliant.
