Interview of the Dead

Has he ever thought of making a straight-up comedy?
I'd love to do it! I've pitched for years... basically I wanted to do Coyote and the Roadrunner but with one human and one zombie. It'd be just one gag after another. But I just can't find the funding! [as if on-cue, the entire table of assembled journalists reach for their wallets, asking how much he'd need. Most of us probably aren't kidding.]
hell, even id donate to that cause.

His feelings on fast vs. slow zombies?
I forgive them if they're not dead. So... 28 Days Later, I guess is okay. Because it's a disease.

What a perfect question to ask, and a good answer as well!
I always thought the slow, stumbling zombie made for a better horror. It always seemed to symbolize the slow yet unstoppable quality of a zombie plague.

"Coyote and the Roadrunner but with one human and one zombie"
"Can't find the funding!"
IDEA!
Online Fan Charity to donate and raise money for this film.
Call it: "Fundraiser of The Dead"

I don't understand why this man's films are so revered...
But I do know a good interview when I see one.

Has this not been out on DVD in the U.K for about 3 month's? I'm sure I saw it in a local Tesco for about £3.00 didn't have that on me at the time or I would own it!
Heh. A slight but somewhat hilarous typo. I'm imagining soldiers in stilettos and coctaildresses now.MovieBob said:
But good interview MovieBob, an interesting read. And gratz on getting the interview. I don't know how well known you are in the industry, or how easy it is getting and interview like this, but if this means your career is "on the rise", then congratulations.
Aye, I agree. the slow moving zombies are somewhat more menacing in that while they are slow, their sheer numbers and relentlessness will still get you in the end. Ever so slowly.Deofuta said:
I've got quite a bit saved up [probably shouldn't mention how much I guess] and would gladly give it all to see a zombie-comedy by Romero...of course I'd also like to appear as a zombie and get a credit as some kind but that's all arbitrary: The important thing is to get that movie made.The Partisan said:
I love George Romero, but I love reading and watching him more. I have a documentary about Midnight Movies, and every time I watch it, I get really excited; Seeing him [Romero] so full of life talking about his passion is just awesome.
George A. Romero is one of the Godfathers of Modern Day Cinema, and easily one of my favorite Godfathers (John Waters sits in the pantheon of Godfathers of Cinema as all time favorite).
And I'm more than on board to watch a Romero Comedy. Tell me where to sign, I'll put up cash for it.

im a huge fan of GR's older films up to 'Land', but Diary and Survival were just plain bad in my opinion. I dont know why, but its like he is keeping the same direction he took in Land with the zombies evolving and adapting to new sources of food, and i hate it! Anyway, i hope he keeps making movies, he is very creative even if i didnt like his last 2 films.
