New DVD and Blu-Ray Artwork for George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead

The release date for George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead, on DVD and Blu-Ray, is August 24th and the DVD/Blu-Ray artwork is available here courtesy of Shock Till You Drop. No special features have been announced as of yet, but the film is currently premiering at several locations some of which can be found
(here). However, a couple of interesting trivia tidbits can be found on the film here including the fact that Survival of the Dead's story takes place only a couple weeks after the original outbreak in 1968's Night of the Living Dead (UHM). Romero's latest revolves around a theme of tribalism, which can be seen in the trailer. As well, this project started out as a sequel to Diary of the Dead, but script changes ruled this possibility out (UHM). In case you have not been beaten over the head enough with the film's trailer, the clip can be found below with the official synopsis.

A recap of Survival of the Dead here:

"Off the coast of Delaware sits the cozy Plum Island where two families are locked in a struggle for power, as it has been for generations. The O'Flynn's, headed by patriarch Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons, headed by Shamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), feel that the zombies should be quarantined and kept 'alive,' in hopes that a solution will someday be found.

The O'Flynn's, who are clearly outnumbered, are forced to exile Patrick by boat to the mainland, where he meets up with a band of soldiers, headed by Guardsman Sarge (Alan Van Sprang). They join forces and return to the island, to find that the zombie plague has fully gripped the divided community.
