"...Of the Dead," Romero's latest zombie, apocalypse, horror flick is possibly getting a name change. Rumours are stating that "Island of the Dead," might be the final title for the picture and this name seems more in line with the setting and plot of the feature. Have a first look at two of five movie stills from the film and an in-depth synopsis from "...Of the Dead," here...
The synopsis...
On a small island off North America's coast, the dead rise to menace the living. Yet, the islanders can't bring themselves to exterminate their loved ones despite the growing danger from those they once held dear. A rebel among them hunts down all the zombies he can find only to be banished from the island for assassinating his neighbors and friends (Upcoming).
On the mainland, bent on revenge, he encounters a small band of survivors in in search of an oasis on which to build a new life. Barely surviving an attack from a mass of ravenous flesh-eaters they commandeer a zombie-infested ferry and sail to the island. There, to their horror, they discover the locals have chained the dead inside their homes, pretending to live "normal" lives...with bloody consequences (Upcoming).
What ensues is a desperate struggle for survival and the answer to a question never posed in Romero's Dead films: Can the living ever live in peace with the dead?

I'm slightly disappointed with the writing of Romero, and I feel the idea isn't very good. Diary of the dead was interesting and went back more towards the roots of the series, however it feels like "Island of the dead" is just a way to cash in on the series.
Hey Craig,
I cannot count how many times I have seen "Land of the Dead," which is one of my favourites. "LOD," added to the myth of the Dead films for me, but not "Diary of the Dead." I agree "Diary of the Dead," went back to the roots of the series and I hope this next one, "Island of the Dead," moves forward in some way and makes the myth bigger.
On a side note, have you seen "Dead Set," a television series from the UK? Excellent series so far, tense. And feel free to link back to your site (CheesyHorror).
