Hi, guys,
Lemme tell ya about Diary of the Dead. I love it. It's the first film since my original Night of the Living Dead that I can say is completely my own.
I've been trying to work under-the-radar, with no hype or press, but lately I've started hearing all kinds of shit about "What's goin' on with Romero?" "What's with his new film?"
Gimme a break over here! I'm up in Toronto workin' my ass off, making Diary the best it can be. Truth is, I'm having a blast. I've gone home to the kind of filmmaking that I used to do, back in the day.
Diary is a hundred percent independent, made with my partner, Peter Grunwald, and our new friends at Artfire. I haven't had this much freedom since 1968. The cast, of what film critics will probably call "unknowns" (they won't be for long) is, in my opinion, fuckin' great.
This one comes from my heart. It's not a sequel or a remake. It's a whole new beginning for the dead.
Thanks to all of you who are out there waiting and wondering. You guys, the fans, have always kept me going. Now Diary's keeping me going, night, dawn, and day.
I love this movie. I hope you will, too. I'll be back here from time to time to keep you posted. Stay tuned.
Stay scared.
George A. Romero

He was doing well when I spoke with him. I don't believe he has anything to do with Diary. He is really focused on acting as opposed to doing make-up or visual effects, but he doesn't even make an appearance in this one as Romero is shooting for no-names. It sounds like he just had a visit with Romero who wanted to show him the rough cut. Savini described it as very Blair Witch-like.

Nice Dodd. How is Savini doing? Does he have anything to do with Diary?

I had a chance to talk with Tom Savini Last month. He had the chance to screen Diary and said it is going to be amazing. I certainly hope he is right because the world needs another edgy, original zombie movie.
