Land of the Dead
For all of you who are geeked out by horror films and felt that you had experienced the second coming with George Romero's Land of the Dead, than you may be in luck. Though it is only more of a suggestion at the moment, the good people over at MovieHole report that Romero may be game for a second round. But where will the next film take place? How about the land down under?
Land of the Dead 2
Here is the scoop sent over by Clint at Moviehole:
Romero says he’s got quite a few more projects on the boil in the meantime, including a sequel to "Land of the Dead".This time, says Romero, they might even bring the undead to Australia. “Simon Baker says that’s where we should shoot it”, he says, adding “But yeah, there’s some rumbling about doing a sequel. Most of my zombie movies have been ten years apart, at least, in this case it was twenty, I’ve never had to do one right behind the other. If that happens I think I will probably just continue the same story – follow the truck, in which case, those characters (including Baker) would be back”.Romero isn’t fazed Baker has now relocated back to his native Australia either. “You tell him we need him on the truck”, he laughs.
Contrary to recent rumours on the Internet, Romero says the sequel definitely won't be going straight to video. “People have been asking me about that, I don't know where that came from”, says Romero. “My partner and I are trying to promote a direct to video series of zombie films, but it has nothing to do with Land of the Dead. I don't think Universal would want to go the direct to video route for Land of the Dead 2. It'd be theatrical”.
