Diamond Dead

You may or may not remember that George Romero was attached to direct a screen adaptation of the macabre stage play Diamond Dead, and while that never happened, curious parties in the NYC area will have the opportunity to close out the summer with the irreverent rock opera!

Holy crap, remember Diamond Dead? This was supposed to be Romero’s return to zombie heaven before Universal swooped in and confused matters with Land of the Dead. Romero worked on it for years but if memory serves had to choose between going forward with Land or Diamond and (unfortunately, some say) chose the former.
