George A. Romero is working on new zombie film Road of the Dead

May 20, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Back in November of last year, filmmaker George A. Romero revealed that he’d called time on the zombie genre, feeling that The Walking Dead and World War Z “just sort of killed it all”.

Well, it seems the man behind the classic Night of the Living Dead has now had a change of heart, as he is currently penning the script for George A. Romero Presents: Road of the Dead with Matt Birman, who is attached to direct. Birman previously worked as second unit director on Romero’s last three zombie movies, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead.

According to IndieWire, Road of the Dead is described as Road Warrior meets Rollerball at a Nascar race, with significant inspiration from Ben-Hur, and “is set on an island where zombie prisoners race cars in a modern-day Coliseum for the entertainment of wealthy humans.”

Are you excited about the prospect of another Romero zombie film? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
