Land of the Dead sequels already being talked about (LETS HOPE!!!)

06-18-2005, 01:56 PM

"Land of the Dead" is the follow up to the classic George Romero 80's film "Day of the Dead" and if all goes well with this new release it will the beginning of a whole new "Dead" series.

The producers and director George Romero told the IESB that a sequel to this new film will made if this film is successful. Considering that "Land of the Dead" cost less than 20 million to produce, DVD sales alone should guarantee a profit to the studio.

In fact, all other projects of the helmer will have to take a backseat in the immediate future if Universal decides for an immediate follow up to "Land of the Dead" including his involvement in Mick Garris' Masters of Horror Anthology that is currently being filmed in Vancouver.

The next film will be a second chapter to the story that we see in Land of the Dead, we will see the surviving characters continue their search for survival in what has become a World of the Dead.

Is this another one of those zombie movies where they run at a full sprint all the time and do clever zombie maneuvers that are on par with average human intelligence? I hate those movies. They ruin the whole concept of zombies.

Corporate Executive Guy: "Hey I've got an idea. Instead of the adhering to established zombie precedent, let's do something new and different. Let's make the zombies really fast and at times, much smarter than they should be. Let's do away with the whole suspense concept and just have zombies sprinting at our protagonists and getting shot with machine guns. Then let's defy the whole idea of them being driven only by hunger for flesh and allow them to stave off their hunger in order to solve complex puzzles and foil traps. And while we're in the mood for ruining the genre, let's take advantage of modern special effects and make it appear as if every person who has ever died, and thus been reanimated as a zombie, died in some horribly gruesome way that leaves them covered in blood and missing an arm. People like seeing bloody heaps of zombies with reasoning capabilities running at Olympic track star speeds towards heroes with abnormally large numbers of machine guns. Shall we break for lunch and then ruin another genre?"

Romero says they'll be slow zombies. Danny Boyle is stick with fast zombies in his sequel to "28 days later".

I disagree. He created something that is its own entity and does not belong to him. I am all too willing to chastise him if he sells out and abuses the genre.

He won't. He's not Jewish.
