Romero to Direct More Dead?

I bet George Romero wishes he could stay away from the dead for a while.

Though the undisputed Zombie Master is enjoying yet another media flurry of attention on him, thanks to the fantastic reception Diary of the Dead received at TIFF, how long can you really go on making the dead come back to life? If the Weinsteins get what they want, at least once more.

Romero chatted with Bloody Disgusting recently about the movie and revealed that, if the film does well when the Brothers release it, they want Romero go back and pop out another Dead movie right away, which he said will pick up right where Diary leaves off.

While such a thing would obviously make fans happy, he did say that he’d rather move on to other projects like the proposed remake of his own Season of the Witch (“Season of the Remake?”). So I guess it’s up to us as to what the man does next!
