Check out this CNN video report on Jaun of the Dead, the first Cuban zombie film ever produced. Looks interesting, but we’ll have to wait until next year when it hits the film festival circuit, and even longer for a possible theatrical run or DVD release, before we get to see it.

While not exactly a zombie film, we thought you’d still like to know that The Crazies remake opens today! I’m a huge fan of the original 1973 George A. Romero film and I am heading out soon today to check out this new version. I was slightly surprised by the trailer for the remake by the simple fact that I after I watched it, I wanted to see it. Not normal for a remake theses days!
If you live in the New York City area, then you should go check out the screening of George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead, as part of the Film Society of Lincoln Center this Saturday, February 20th, at the Walter Reade Theater. Showing begins at 9:15pm and the Walter Reade Theater is located at 165 West 65th Street (upper level, between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave.). If any of our ZRC readers get to see this showing, please tell us your thoughts. The ZRC can not wait to see this film!
The ZRC will be starting back up with the good ol’ zombie film reviews soon. We would also like to hear more about your opinions on zombie films, so submit your reviews to the ZRC! Any zombie film, even if we have already reviewed it, we’d like to see what you think! You might even see it on the ZRC! Send them to: nate@zombiereportingcenter.com
