'Twilight of the Dead,' George A. Romero's Final Zombie Movie, In the Works (Exclusive)

George A. Romero wrote a treatment for Twilight of the Dead with Paolo Zelati. After the director's death, Zelati asked Suzanne Romero for permission to continue with the script. He brought on screenwriters Joe Knetter and Robert L. Lucas to help.

"I gave him my full blessing as long as I could be there every step of the way for it to remain true to George’s vision," says Suzanne Romero. "We had a solid treatment and the beginning of the script. I can 100 percent say that George would be incredibly happy to see this continue. He wanted this to be his final stamp on the zombie genre."

Romero's 2005 film Land of the Dead introduced Big Daddy, an intelligent zombie leader, whose fate is left an open question at the end of the film. George A. Romero wanted an answer to what came next.

"Everything started with my question to him: 'Where do the zombies go at the end of Land of the Dead?'" says Zelati.

George A. Romero directed two more zombie films after Land of the Dead — 2007's Diary of the Dead and 2009's Survival of the Dead — but he did not consider those as part of the same overarching story that began with Night of the Living Dead.

"It is no secret that Diary and Survival were not the way he envisioned the series ending, and George knew it very well," notes Zelati. "Twilight of the Dead was his goodbye to the genre he created and wanted to go out with a powerful film."

So in other words, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead don't exist in Romero's Dead series lol

Maybe aim it for a miniseries or something. His last few zombie films were straight horrible. Someone could have told him not to ruin the legacy of the original 3.

‘Night Of The Living Dead’ Sequel: ‘Nanny’s Nikyatu Jusu To Direct; ‘Walking Dead’s LaToya Morgan Writer – Deadline

Village Roadshow Pictures has partnered with Chris Romero and the late George A. Romero’s Sanibel Films, Origin Story, Vertigo and Westbrook Studios on what all hope will create a new franchise from Night of the Living Dead.

That is the 1968 Pittsburgh-shot film that godfathered the flesh-eating zombie genre that has nourished Hollywood in countless movies and series like The Walking Dead and its spinoffs. The film will be directed by Nikyatu Jusu and written by LaToya Morgan. They are keeping the logline under wraps, but clearly hungry corpses will be on the menu.

Land of the Dead, while unnecessary, was a good cap to the series. We don't need to see where they go from there. A silent truce was had, that doesn't need to be built upon.

I'd rather this film not get made, even if it could make up for the ****shows that were Diary and Survival (the latter I've never seen).
