Diary of the Dead release date 2/15/08
It seems that Diary of the Dead now has a limited release date of February 15th, 2008. George A. Romero’s “reboot” of his zombie genre follows a group of students that set out to make a horror film and encounter a zombie outbreak at which point they turn their cameras toward the real horror show and film a documentary of their trek. After his big industry release of Land of the Dead, George A. Romero has decided go indie again for this one and finance the movie himself, hence the “limited” release. So, it may be difficult, initially, to see this movie as it’s release may not be wide-spread. Most likely, I will be looking forward to seeing it on DVD sometime late next year. Unless, of course, the arty theatre downtown sees fit to pick it up. Harrumph!
Any word on where it will be released yet? I’m assuming Los Angeles and New York at the very least, since those seem to be favorites for limited releases… but we’re trying to plan a zombiewalk around the release date and it’d be pretty neat to be able to end the walk at a theater actually showing the film, so we can go see it afterward :D
