The Diary Continues

Before Diary of the Dead has even appeared in Australia [Come on, guys! Where the hell is it?], news is out that George Romero will direct a sequel. The as-yet-untitled Diary of the Dead 2 is, according to DreadCentral, “99.9% a go … to start production this September”.

Horror-movies.ca describes the plot this way:

Our heroes, trapped in the mansion where we left them, battle waves of ravenous zombies, barely escaping alive. In search of a safe place to settle, they commandeer an abandoned ferry and sail to a deserted island, only to find that it is already populated by a civilization of the dead. Told in the same first-person style that distinguished “George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead”, the next episode of the saga is a violent siege set in the middle of nowhere, a desperate struggle for survival, and peace, between two tribes: the living and the living dead.

Gotta love George!
