It looks like a made for TV movie (with a little more gore) but if you want me to be honest, all a movie has to have is "zombie" in it somewhere and I'm going to see it. Whether that be in the plot description or the title itself.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for the undead.

weak.

but you know i'll see it.

If you showed me that trailer and told me it was directed by Uwe Boll i would not have doubted it.

To be fair, this is not a trailer. It is a VERY unfinished show reel. A slate pops up at the end that says: "In Production" tells you that.

I really liked LAND and thought that there were some interesting moments in DIARY so I'm going to give Romero the benefit of the doubt.

Let's wait until we see the finished product before jumping on the guy.

So you are panning the movie based on a pre-production trailer...hardly seems fair.

I enjoyed Land of the Dead and thought Diary of the Dead was an interesting, though somewhat less than classic entry into the series.

I still immensely enjoy Romero's "Dead' films and look forward to seeing this one.

There is a lot of criticism for a 1:14 clip. George Romero is about the only directer making zombie movies that reflect the flesh eating zombie genre he created.

The newest spat of zombie movies with running zombies and by adding the comedy aspects such as with Zombieland barely deserve consideration as a zombie movie. They are like movies based on a true story where someone sails away in a ship and from there a fantastic story is invented around a simple fact.

Zombieland only resembles a zombie movie because it contains reanimated corpses. 28 Days Later was a good movie but it did not involve zombies rather people affected with a virus who did not die before they became ravenous.

I could go on.

It does go without saying, that "zombie people" like most of us will go see anything Romero cranks out for grocery money, because, well, it's Romero...and others won't give a shit. That being said, is there anything wrong with a one trick pony? Sure, not the trick, but how it's executed, and maybe when the man stops putting any sort of care into the way his films are made (crummy acting), it's time to hang up the hat.

"Land of the dead" was just plain weak compared to the remake of "dawn of the dead". The pace was too slow, and too few hungry killer zombies - 6 billion people on earth, mostly dead, and we see just a handful of the same ones? The social/political plot line was boring, too much time spent on the class distinctions not enough on the essence of zombie operas - the struggle for personal and "wolf pack" survival against overwhelming odds. What happened to chewing up zombie guts with mini-guns, flamethrowers, and cannons shooting steel frisbees? The final insults were the pseudo-hero not drilling "smarter zombie's" head into a bloody stump and happy face survivors driving off into hopeful future celebrating with fireworks - total crap!
Survival of the dead better be twice the movie "land of the dead" could have been or Romero is done. In the end there is no possibility of hope only the resignation that you MAY have another day, and probably not. No one gets out of here alive in any case - fantasy or reality.
