| PLOT |
| Set many years after Day of the Dead,
society has returned to life in a new way. The zombies
are rotting away into irrelevance & now disregarded
much like the way homeless people are today, as the
human survivors live in a fortified city, trying to
live normal lives. Protecting them is an enormous
tank-like vehicle called the Dead Reckoning with the
artillery and firepower of a small nation. This story
shows what happens when the Dead Reckoning's reasonable
leader, Riley, loses control of his command. Riley
must try to take back control of this powerful vehicle,
while at the same time battling his way through a
city filled with zombies... |

| • The big news from this
year's (2003) Fangoria Weekend of Horrors was George
A. Romero's announcement that a fourth Living Dead
film now looks likely, and could be distributed by
20th Century Fox. "I do have a script at Fox for a
fourth zombie film, which looks like it's going to
happen," Romero said Saturday, August 17 at the Fango
conference at the Pasadena Center. He added that the
film would likely be R-rated for its theatrical release,
then make it to DVD in an unrated version. "They're
basically going to let me make my film and cut it
back for R-rated release." The film, currently titled
Dead Reckoning, should be budgeted at about
$10 million. "It's going to be the most expensive
one," Romero said. Romero was the highlight of the
biggest Weekend of Horrors in years. |
