Hey folks, Harry here... Today's been one of those days. I woke up... did the Tux fitting, Yoko did the did the Wedding Dress fitting. Then we had a business luncheon.... then I got dropped off at the Alamo South so I could worship the greater glory that was Robosaurus. Then - I taped promos for my Reelz Channel. Then I cheered screaming in the rain watching Robosaurus eat and rip cars in two as 30 some odd piece orchestra played the 1812 Overture and a DJ played YOU GOT THE TOUCH and an insane genus talked about how Robosaurus was forged the Mt Edna at the Anvil of Vulcan to bring Destruction to the world of Man! But before that, during my meditation with Robosaurus... my cel phone rang and I was talking to a producer on Romero's LAND OF THE DEAD about this email. Now right now - I'm delirious from 6 beers, 4 32 ounce glasses of Vodka and Cranberry juice.... and a taping with my hopeful co-host of my show... And I'm loopy. But essentially, I think what Romero is saying here about DIARY OF THE DEAD is this... He's found more artistic freedom and sheer joy making DIARY OF THE DEAD than any film he's made since the original. Personally... I'm just thrilled to be sharing a letter from the king of Zombie cinema... Now folks, bow down... we have a message from Him... Mr. George Romero...

Hi, guys,

Lemme tell ya about Diary of the Dead. I love it. It’s the first film since my original Night of the Living Dead that I can say is completely my own.

I’ve been trying to work under-the-radar, with no hype or press, but lately I've started hearing all kinds of shit about “What’s goin' on with Romero?” “What’s with his new film?”

Gimme a break over here! I'm up in Toronto workin' my ass off, making Diary the best it can be. Truth is, I'm having a blast. I've gone home to the kind of filmmaking that I used to do, back in the day.

Diary is a hundred percent independent, made with my partner, Peter Grunwald, and our new friends at Artfire. I haven't had this much freedom since 1968. The cast, of what film critics will probably call “unknowns” (they won’t be for long) is, in my opinion, fuckin' great.

This one comes from my heart. It's not a sequel or a remake. It's a whole new beginning for the dead.

Thanks to all of you who are out there waiting and wondering. You guys, the fans, have always kept me going. Now Diary's keeping me going, night, dawn, and day.

I love this movie. I hope you will, too. I'll be back here from time to time to keep you posted. Stay tuned.

Stay scared.

George A. Romero
