George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead

[ProfessorChaos]

Survival of the Dead is a shitty name. my thoughts exactly...

[clanglee]

Wow, not a fan of the name at all really. . . . Is this confirmed anywhere else aside from this particular site? Oh well. Don't think I'll be making it to Toronto any time soon.

[ProfessorChaos]

the more i think about it, the shittier the name sounds....i'm kind of negative at times, but that title is worse than anything i'd imagined...

[Monrozombi]

wow, someone please help me understand the negativity over the name? We're getting a new Romero zombie film remember?

[axlish]

...of the Dead would have been much better. Survival of the Dead, it sounds like a generic video game title. I'm not all that into the last two Romero zombie films. I wish to god he'd do something else.

of the dead was better.

I wish to god he'd do something else. Did you like Bruiser? Dark Half? Monkey Shines? Two Evil Eyes? When I talk to people at conventions about Romero, I hear they're so excited for a new zombie film and can't wait for it. But when he strays from it, I hear people say, why isn't he doing more zombie films? I know he does want to branch off but I think he's being pigeon-holed in today's film industry, he's known for zombies and will draw a bigger crowd for the film.

I like Monkey Shines and Two Evil Eyes. I also like Creepshow, Martin, and Knightriders a lot. I don't think Diary drew that big of an audience. I understand why he is doing them though. It isn't like folks are lining up to produce a romantic comedy for him. He wants to do other projects more than anyone knows. Frankly, I don't care what the new movie is called as long as it is a quality film. I agree with that. No one will be happier than me (well, except for you maybe) if the movie turns out to be badass and epic.

Diary got a bum wrap from the Weinsteins from the start, it just didn't get the push it should have. Hell Universal did a better job compared to the Weinsteins...

[Danny]

People like to piss and moan. internet dude, but its a romero flick, i know his last two got a bad rep, but ive seen way worse movies than land or dary and im entertained every time i watch them so i dont doubt i'll dig this, but still, theres gonna be bitching regardless.

http://www.fangoria.com/home/news/9-...-the-dead.html Nice to get a full synopsis - sounds cool to me, I'm much more excited by this than I was with Diary - the idea of people living 'normal' lives with their undead loved ones chained up in their houses is a kick ass idea in itself. Hopefully GAR explores that one nicely, I imagine it could be quite a cool idea to see on screen. Having gotten used to "...of the Dead" as the working title, I actually kinda like that now - it's a little cheeky in a way, considering all the previous films being "[something] of the Dead", but it's also a little bit thoughtful in a way, and a little bit quirky. To me, "Survival of the Dead" sounds clunky, it's a mouthful, it's not snappy like Night-through-Land (Diary is a smidge clunky/iffy) ... and it sounds a bit, I duno, like a ropey flick a few mates made in their basement with ketchup for blood. Maybe it'll grow on me, but I think it's iffy and a bit clunky, and it's made me like "...of the Dead" even more. Properly looking forward to this flick though, I'll most certainly be there to see it in the cinema like I have been for Land and Diary.
