Currently George Romero is hard at work, a week into his month long shooting schedule for his next Dead film. Now for all of you out there who just rolled your eyes after reading that, listen up because he’s plotting something different. This will not be a sequel to Diary of the Dead.

Listening to the recent Rue Morgue Radio Show, Micheal Felsher who is working with Romero on the project was interviewed but could not say much. He did say if “Diary” was Night of the Living Dead, this new film would surely be the current equivalent to Dawn of the Dead. Felsher was so secret, after listenening to the podcast I wondered why he even went on to talk about it. However, it is clear that George Romero does not like to repeat himself with the Dead movies.

I have heard rumors that the new film takes place on an island. Around the net, everyone seems to be calling it Island of the Dead. That is not the title. The current Romero Dead film is still unnamed. This nameless zombie film seems to promise a much grander scale of movie. Felsher did say there are a ton of undead in it. Way more zombies than Diary had. This is going to be much better than Diary and it’s such a secret that I’m starting to get excited.

Maybe George was hurt from all the negative response from Diary of the Dead? That could be why things are so secretive? Don’t know. I thought Diary of the Dead was a lot of fun. I always enjoy George’s perspective. I look forward to what we have next. Filming wraps up at the end of November. The cast, story and all the rest remains a secret. What are you plotting, George? What are you hiding?
