Romero talks 'Diamond Dead' & 'Land of the Dead 2'

Moviehole.net has details from George A. Romero about his sequel to Land of the Dead, while giving more info on Diamond Dead and an untitled project with Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg.

Romero tells Moviehole, “I would love to do Diamond Dead. It’s from an Australian Producer, a guy named Andrew Gaty. It’s my favourite, but nobody seems to get it. I love the project. It’s one of those things that everybody says ‘What’s this?’ It’s very hard to explain. It’s sort of like Phantom of the Paradise; it’s a rock and roll spoof about a dead rock band. Everybody that reads it says ‘I don’t quite get it’. I would give my teeth…I would love to do it. I would love to do it while I can still move my bones a little.”

Contrary to recent rumours on the Internet, Romero says the sequel to 'Land of the Dead' 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”.
