As conflicted as I was about the fourth film of George Romero's Dead saga, Land of the Dead, that doesn't mean I'm not totally amped up to hear he's working on a fifth film. From DH:
The films have grown progressively towards switching the point-of-view from human to zombie, especially in the 3rd and 4th films, and this sounds like the next logical step. I'm guessing, by the title and that brief description, that we'll be getting a lot of zombies-on-film, maybe some lurid confessionals, some sexy zombie hot tub action. That's hot.

"George A. Romero has signed on to write and direct "George Romero's Diary of the Dead" following in the tradition of his 1968 cult classic "Night of the Living Dead" reports the trades.
With a story mixing elements of "The Blair Witch Project" and the long-running "Dead" series, the film will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising.
When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a "cinema verite" style that causes more than the usual production headaches. Shooting begins October 11th in Toronto."

ugh, I hated Land of the Dead and wish this franchise would end (remakes included, even though the Dawn remake was kickass)
Romero needs to THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE!
