Trailer For George Romero’s “Land Of The Dead”
Is there still room for anything new in the zombie genre? I think there have been more zombie movies in the last few years than ever before, and the trend shows no signs of stopping. But if anyone can breathe new life into it, you’d think it would be George A. Romero, director of the original “Dead” trilogy: Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, and Day Of The Dead. This summer he makes his triumphant return with a 4th installment called “Land Of The Dead”, which has been pushed up to a June 24th release date. The movie stars Dennis Hopper, Simon Baker, John Leguizamo and Asia Argento, with cameos from Simon Pegg (Shaun Of The Dead) and Tom Savini (horror FX guru). A trailer is now available online… click below to see whether or not Romero has lost his edge over the years. (It doesn’t look like it to me.)

I used to be a fan of “living dead” movies, but now I’ve started to ween away from them. Land Of The Dead may spark my interest again, then again Shaun Of The Dead already did that by giving the genre some new life.

Posted by Nuno on April 29th, 2005I think it would be acceptable if the “newer” zombie were quick and agitated. As the body decomposes, then I could see them getting slower and softer and easier to defeat.
I imagine the smell itself would be just as dangerous as the zombie menace. Burst one open and putrid green gas enters your lungs….YUM!
Posted by Baychuk on April 29th, 2005Nope, slow zombies. Romero has made it clear that his zombies will always be slow.
