"Land of the Dead" is the follow up to the classic George Romero 80's film "Day of the Dead" and if all goes well with this new release it will the beginning of a whole new "Dead" series.

The producers and director George Romero told the IESB that a sequel to this new film will made if this film is successful. Considering that "Land of the Dead" cost less than 20 million to produce, DVD sales alone should guarantee a profit to the studio.

In fact, all other projects of the helmer will have to take a backseat in the immediate future if Universal decides for an immediate follow up to "Land of the Dead" including his involvement in Mick Garris' Masters of Horror Anthology that is currently being filmed in Vancouver.

The next film will be a second chapter to the story that we see in Land of the Dead, we will see the surviving characters continue their search for survival in what has become a World of the Dead.

Thanks to 'Robert'

Yay for more dead films but it kind of sucks that they won't be filmed in Pittsburgh anymore. I mean that's like our only claim to fame. (I'm trying to forget flashdance) W/o the dead films we're just not kool anymore. LOL

well....they better be NOT be as bad as "Land of the Dead" because let me tell you.....even though the "effects" were higher quality thanks to technology, i felt this latest "dead" film was SUBPAR in comparison to Romero's other work.
