Lee Karr visits the set of Romero's latest living dead film 'Diary of the Dead' and reports back. Click here for a dead good read!

Wow, great little report. Diary is shaping up good and I'm glad to hear that GAR is employing so many familiar faces. The more I read about this movie, the more convinced I am that this is gonna be his best in a long time. Can't friggin' wait! Michael even spills a little info on a major upcoming dvd release that he has gotten the rights to, but only in the U.K. So if you are not in England and you have been wishing for a special edition for a certain beloved Romero film, get a region free dvd player soon! This Felsher guy, what movie has he gotten the rights to?

VERY cool set report, everytime I hear more about the movie I get more excited. I'll be honest, inititally I was a bit "hmmm" about it, but it's growing on me more and more like some fetid (yet funky) disease ... that I'm looking forward to being consumed by. A great set report there, excellent stuff, the movie sounds like it's gonna be classic GAR, the indie spirit back in full swing as it were. And indeed, what movie will be getting the special edition treatment ... Martin? I'm scratchin' me noggin' trying to figure out which one it might be, for Region 2 to have something over on Region 1 is a bit of a shock.

WOW. That was an awesome report. I have not seen monroezombie post here for a while but I did chat with him a week ago. He is doing well.

Before getting started, I must mention one of the esteemed super moderators of this very site, Eric Kent (aka Axlish). Eric had contacted me a few days prior to this about directions to locations used for Land of the Dead. Well, are you going to post the directions to locations used for Land of the Dead, or am I going have to drag it out of you?

[MinionZombie]

What, There's Always Vanilla? I thought that came on the disc for Hungry Wives...

[capncnut]

I thought the cake hint was a reference to 'Father's Day' from Creepshow, I could be wrong though.

[MinionZombie]

Oh ... hmmm ... I got the region 1 DVD of Creepshow and it is fairly barren, but I thought it might be a film that hadn't really been released, hence my thought on Vanilla, which I somehow linked to cakes. (Haven't watched Creepshow in a good while now...)

I thought it might be a film that hadn't really been released, hence my thought on Vanilla, which I somehow linked to cakes. I always link my thoughts of vanilla to big phat slurpy MacDonalds milkshakes.

If I was a reporter on the set of DIARY OF THE DEAD, the first thing I'd be asking is "So, what do you think of the fact THE ZOMBIE DIARIES was finished before you announced your idea? Coincidence? Have you heard of it?" Given the recent article on ABC: http://abc.net.au/news/arts/articula...1/s1795742.htm it would have been a very good question to ask, even if it were just to production staff. You missed a great opportunity! I would love to know the answer to that question, as do the folks at JoBlo, Dread Central, Eat my brains, etc Wasted opportunity, man!

George always goes around ripping off people. C'mon dude, I love zombie movies but they are all just a rippoff in a sense of Georges films So you rip off GAR and accuse him of ripping YOU off?!?!?! Even if that's not what you meant, it sure sounds that way. Fake quote from GAR "The Zombie what? fuggedabout it.Never heard of it. What are you some kinda wiseass?" I dont think he pays much attention to zombie movies.
