If you’re curious, “Diary of the Dead” isn’t a sequel, and it isn’t connected to anything George has done in the past. It’s a new and separate universe, and one that fans of Romero will recognize immediately.
As someone who grew up watching the zombie films of George A. Romero, I never thought that I’d be able to ask him questions about one of his films. Honestly, it was a real thrill to talk with him earlier today about “Diary,” and it was also great to hear that he’s thinking about making a sequel, and it would take place moments after this film ended. Since I don’t want to spoil the film, let’s just say there is a lot of room for more movies.
And in case you missed the trailer and the movie clip I posted for “Diary of the Dead,” I’m reposting them below the interview.
Again, “Diary of the Dead” opens this Friday in limited release. Unlike all the stupid horror films that get put out by the studios looking for a quick buck, this one has a message and makes you think. Just like you’d expect from a Romero zombie flick.
