According to Variety, Shawn Roberts has signed on to star in George A. Romero's DIARY OF THE DEAD.
The film, currently shooting in Toronto, will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a "cinema verite" style that causes more than the usual production headaches.
It is being independently financed making it the first indie zombie film Romero has done in years.
Because film students are usually lacking in that department.
