Road of the Dead

[MooCriket]

George Romero's latest film.
"The story is set on an island where zombie prisoners race cars in an arena for the sole purpose of entertaining the rich."

So, essentially Death Race with zombies? Sigh, not too optimistic anymore. It has been a very long time since George has done anything great with zombies.

Agreed. It really lost me in the last one, when they started learning how to do things, use , weapons and the line about "finding their own place" or whatever it was...

Could be worse I suppose. We could end up with zombie refugees.

March of the Dead? Trail of the Dead? Immigration of the Dead?

In all seriousness, I don't think Romero knew just how much he lucked out with Night of the Living Dead. It's been acknowledged many times before that it only took on social connotations by mere coincidence. When Romero started intentionally looking for social commentaries to make, that's when I think his films suffered. And yes, I'm talking about Dawn and Day of the Dead onward.

Never been into the whole zombie craze.
"Night of the Living Dead" is a masterful movie, though.
The only genuinely scary zombie movie ever made, in my opinion.

This looks and sounds like Romero is trying to capitalize on the success of "Fury Road".

Zombie water skier jumping zombie shark.....

Sounds like a bad made for SyFy show. I wonder if he will do, wait for it......Zombienado!!!

Land, Diary, Survival? Nah. Can't beat the original trilogy though. But apparently Romero is only producing it. I just hope they stay out of cgi-blood/gore/zombies this time. Can't stand it. Makes everything feel cheap.

Dawn is still a kick-ass movie that was made for peanuts, and regardless, he still invented the "modern zombie" genre. I think he's made a lot of bad films but some good ones as well, more so as a writer after the trilogy.

Upon reading this thread, I was thinking they need a sharknato/zombie film.....but you beat me to the idea. ha

How about zombies from Mars.

I'm not into zombie films — I think NOTLD and Dawn of the Dead were all we needed — but I'd buy a ticket to THREE ZOMBIES AND A BABY. Directed by Leonard Nimoy, of course.

Maybe they could even start a world war.

George sure isn't helping himself. I guess he forgot about the sub par zombie crap he has put out over the last decade.

Yeah that last film was HORRIBLE!

There was talk about bringing him on TWD to direct untill he started bad mouthing it. :unsure
