Film School Rejects: Flesh Starved: Seven Ideas for George Romero’s Next Zombie Flick

  • Chris · 1 year ago
    I'd like to see Twilight of the Dead myself. That would be a pretty cool idea, actually. But I gotta disagree with you on Birth of the Dead. The origins of the plague should never be explained, that's what makes these films so great. Every other zombie movie tries to explain away things, and Romero's don't. You get an idea (the Venus probe crashing back to Earth), and that's that. It's on to tackle the meat of the story, which is the human interaction in times of crisis.

    The plague is like a good monster... it should have lots of speculation, no firm answers. 'Cause when you get into explaining, you tend to either dumb down the idea (midichlorians? I'm looking at you), or you convelute it.

    Isnt Twilight of the Dead already taken? Isnt that what Day of the Dead is about?...

    I think Day of the Dead still focused a lot on the "small group of humans stuck in a small area" and Twilight of the Dead (a book has the name, but Romero could still make a movie called that, it was the working title of Land) would focus more on the external stuff and people constantly on the run, rather than holing up in one place for the long haul before being forced out.

    You could film Office of the Dead at my old workplace.

    Personally, I think Drumline of the Dead could work perfectly. If it hit the box office hard enough, they could follow it with Step Up and Dance of the Dead, Stomp the Yard of the Dead, and, of course (my personal favorite), Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo of the Dead.

    I think Twilight of the Dead should deal with these zombie soccer moms who adhere to the words of a false maternal messiah who gives promises of the bloodsucking attractive male undead with little or no character development.

    The commentary: Twilight sucks, get over yourselves. If Anne Rice killed the vampire, Meyer has vaporized them from existence.

    hi guys i once met george a romero and got his autograph at a confention and i think he is proberly the best horror movie director of all time.
    i think it would be great if he could make a movie which consits of millions of zombies against a small minority of people, the movie could be called amy of the dead or empire of the dead.i thing it would be awsome if they made a huge, scary, grizzily epic zombie flick

    spoof of the dead might be funny but i watched an interview when george romero said he would like to make a comedy because of how much he liked shaun of the dead.plus simon pegg is a big fan of george a romero so it would be funny if he would be in that because he was in land of the dead.

    I don't really care for any of the ideas much. Twilight? I don't know about the storyline, names okay. Dead babies crawling out of a dumpster....I'm sick and twisted, without much social conscience, but I don't want to see that. I love zombie movies (for which Romero is God). If you want to see the next movie in a theater there will not be dead babies.
    Army of the Dead has potential and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo of the Dead is extremely funny, but I don't want to see it. Good luck.
