Anyone seen this movie, is it as good as it looks? Guess so if Peter Jackson and George Romero loved it.
Oh and here's some great news for George Romero fans. :)
"George Romero's Land of the Dead is casting up. Insider mags Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have revealed a handful of names joining the cast of the new zombie flick in today's editions. Actors Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo have joined the cast along with Simon Baker (L.A. Confidential), Asia Argento (XXX) and Robert Joy (Sweet November).
Mark Canton, who is producing through his Atmosphere MM shingle, told Variety that the film will also will feature some big-name cameo appearances. "A lot of people revere George, and fellow directors and actors are calling to see if they can be zombies. I think it's a testament to George and the genre that he created," Canton said.
Land of the Dead, written and directed by Romero, is set in a world that's been taken over by zombies. The only survivors have barricaded themselves in a walled city that keeps out the living dead. As anarchy rules on the streets, the wealthy are sheltered in fortified skyscrapers. The story follows a group of scavengers who must stop the masses of dead that are evolving into more advanced creatures and trying to overtake the city.
It was announced yesterday that Universal Pictures will distribute the film which is due to start production on October 11th in Toronto." source ign.com
