Promotional trailer for Romero's '...of the Dead'!

I'm always excited to see a new George A. Romero film. I mean, come on, he's the master of zombie flicks, and his creations are as interesting as they are entertaining.

Well, Romero is currently working on "...of the Dead" (yeah, that's actually the title for now), and a first promotional trailer for the project has just popped up online. I recommend you check it out after the jump.

On an island off the coast of North America, local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while looking for a cure to return their un-dead relatives back to their human state.

This sounds just like a good Romero pic, and as you can see below, it also looks like a good Romero pic. A release date has not been announced yet, but I sure hope we'll get to see this one some time later this year.

Romero most recently directed "Diary of the Dead," which I thoroughly enjoyed. Check out my Blu-ray review of the film right here.

Ouverture Films picks up ‘Crazies’ remake

Ouverture Films is set to develop the remake of George A. Romero’s 1973 horror flick “The Crazies,” according to Variety.

Breck Eisner, director of “Sahara,” is helming a script by Ray Wright and Scott Kosar. Apparently, Romero will executive produce the project, which stars production in 2009.

The film follows what happens to people in a small Kansas town hit by a deadly virus that originates in the local water supply.  

Let’s hope Eisner and his team tackle this remake just as well as Zack Snyder did with “Dawn of the Dead.”

Apparently, the original “Crazies” was produced on a budget of approx. $270,000.
