Ahoy, squirts! Quint here.
I'm on record as not completely agreeing with Romero's idea for a new DEAD film. I've take a little flack from hardcore Romero fans, including Harry, for my opinion, but I've never had any hope or desire for this film to be shitty. I never said it would be bad, just that I didn't like the central plot, the one-liner idea that was put out when the project was announced. "Blair Witch meets Night of the Living Dead."
I do have faith in Romero. I am excited to see the film. I know Romero's track record, so I know the film will be about more than just kids with a video camera and there'll be something deeper to the film. And it's more Romero zombies. How could I not be excited?
I just know I would be more excited if he had made this a period film and set alongside the events of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD with kids making their own movie on Black and White 16mm as the zombies begin showing up.
"BLADES" sent in a heads up, telling me to check out the Diary of the Dead myspace page where Romero has posted a series of pics from the flick. I've taken the first two and reposted them here. Click on any of them to get you to the blog post containing all of them! Enjoy!!!
