Now waiting for the green light
George Romero’s been a busy bee since we caught up to him at Sundance to discuss Diary for the Dead and its proposed sequel (that chat is here).
He tells Dread Central a first draft of the script for the follow-up is complete. “[Producer] Peter [Grunwald]’s coming up here next week and we’re going to sand it down and refine it, so we’ll be ready. Then it’s just a matter of someone saying “yeah, do it.” Romero adds he’ll continue the subjective camera approach to the zombie genre and “I’m using a couple of the big characters but not the ones you would expect. I’m starting with the girl that took off…”
We’ll have to wait and see how long it takes before production entity Voltage Pictures gives Romero the go ahead to move forward.
