Same here...

I may hate LOTD, but I still respect the man for the other 3 Zead films. I have the Original VHS of Document of the Dead, as well as the DVD, and of course the version on DAWN ultimate. I like watching him in interviews, his facial expressions are quite comical.

[Zombie-A-GoGo]

I think Rusty's putting a lot into this...I'm realling looking forward to the end product.

[axlish]

Apparently he has over 100 hours of interview footage, and is looking for more. Heres hoping for the ultimate retrospective on The Man.

I posted about it a while back

Just merged the threads...

The showings are news though. I had heard that Rusty was trying to compile more footage. Perhaps this is just a rough cut?

[Hawkboy]

Is that the guy from American Movie?

[DjfunkmasterG]

hmmm, sounds interesting.

Third merger on this classic thread :)

I love the scuba goggles that George wears these days.

Anyone know if this is a direct to DVD thing or will it do a theatrical run?

[San Jose Shark]

This is gonna be so juicy, uh huh.

[jdog]

i cant wait to have this dvd in my collection. rusty should do a good job and pay proper homage to the man .

[DjfunkmasterG]

Maybe we should stickify this?

[aga]

Can't see anything on the site, I'll definately pick it up when it's available. I hope it does George justice.
What's the guy from American Movie doing in the pic? WHERE'S NORTHWESTERN?!

[bub21]

Mark Borchardt is the ****in man

[capncnut]

What are the chances of this being released in the UK? Mmm...ZERO!!!

[bassman]

That's a very impressive list of guests for interviews.....


But it won't be done until 2008??? Man...

[capncnut]

This documentary is a bought item. Damn, the interview list is almost like the perfect GAR convention. Shame it'll probably never be released in the UK but hey!

PS: Where the hell was Amplas on that list?

[Cody]

...what if he dies...before that

[axlish]

PS: Where the hell was Amplas on that list?

He grows more reclusive by the day. A tough interview to say the least. I've tried.

By the way, there is a sticky thread about this film in the Dead Discussion forum.

Shame. As far as I'm concerned, John Amplas is the definitive GAR actor. With all of the movies he has starred in, he would be phenomenal convention material.

My thoughts exactly!

Next on my list: Docu on Hunter S. Thompson.

[lindalovesgore]

I cant wait for this one

[bassman]

Next on my list: Docu on Hunter S. Thompson.

There is a good one that's airing on the "Starz" Channel called "Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride".

There's also a good one called "Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood" that follows Thompson during the eighties when "Where the Buffalo Roam" was released. This one can be found on the Special Edition DVD of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

[capncnut]

I'm gonna have to check those out Bass.

[raym]

I remember seeing a special on the F&LILV DVD. Best DVD purchase ever!

10/10

[Shemp]

I interviewed Rusty last Summer about some of his films, and he touched on the documentary as it was coming along in the early stages. The footage he screened at the May 06 Fangoria convention in Burbank looked quite good.

"Dead On"...:elol: looks to be very good documentary ...

[Cody]

God what is George thinking with those glasses?!?

[coma]

God what is George thinking with those glasses?!?
Heh heh. It's the "f**k it, Im old and I could care less how I look" kind of thing.:). I think with the big ass glasses you get a wider field of vision.

[JohnoftheDead]

Anyone heard anything new on this lately?

[darth los]

God what is George thinking with those glasses?!?

Coke bottles would be an improvement.:rolleyes:

[Yojimbo]

Ok, folks so I see postings that go back a long while on this documentary. Did it ever happen? Was it released and did I miss something? Anyone have any new news on this?

[darth los]

God what is George thinking with those glasses?!?

"oh yeah!! I'm Definitely gonna score with these babies!!" :thumbsup:

[suicide22]

He's making a fashion statement.

[thxleo]

For those in the Pittsburgh area this weekend(Oct. 27-28, 2007), you might be interested to know that this will screen at the Zombie Fest convention. They have not released the time it will show however.

[Griff]

I saw this or at least a version of this in Toronto back in late August. It wasn't very long, maybe half an hour, but I think it might have been a work in progress.

[thxleo]

I got to watch a 22 minute preview of it today- the same thing that Griff watched, I'm assuming. It went by so fast! It felt like 22 seconds, not 22 minutes. Very, very engrossing stuff.
I asked Rusty about a possible release date and he said another year, at least. He wants to really make it as good as possible. I just hope it does not take as long as Document of the Dead did, which was 10 or 11 years if I remember correctly.

Sorry if it's already been posted.

[Dr. Pus]

Some footage was also filmed at the Monroeville Mall "Zombie Walk" this year.:cool:

[blind2d]

Where are the Zombie Walks, typically?
