Legendary horror director George A Romero is currently filming DIARY OF THE DEAD and he has now given an update on it. It's been rumored that Romero is going back to his "indie" style reminiscent of his original concept NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and going away from a big budget feature film like his last LAND OF THE DEAD.
Still, everyone's been wanting an update and wondering where the heck Romero is at. He's apparently seen the enquiries and he has given an update on his official myspace page for it:
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
