George Romero Shooting Zombie Movie!!

I am – Hercules!!


George Romero, the writer-director who gave us “Night of the Living Dead,” “Dawn of the Dead,” “Day of the Dead,” “Land of the Dead” and “Diary of the Dead” is hard at work on an untitled sequel which may or may not wind up being called “Island of the Dead.”

"Night of the Living Dead" has also spawned sequels not directed by Romero, including "Return of the Living Dead," "Return of the Living Dead II," "Return of the Living Dead III," "Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis," and "Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave."

We've also seen remakes of "Night of the Living Dead," "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead."

That's a lot of zombies!

Shooting in Canada, the new film stars Canadian Kenneth Welch ("Rise of the Silver Surfer").

Variety describes the premise:

Plot involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure.
