Echolalia Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Roberto Bolano lovingly describes one of his films in 2666. Think its Return of the Living Dead. Bolano and Romero and the sound of a bottle of single malt just opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sagan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 That sucks. Maybe he'll make a comeback though who knows? Night of the living dead on VHS was one of, if not the first horror movie I ever saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen Lare Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Roberto Bolano lovingly describes one of his films in 2666. Think its Return of the Living Dead. Bolano and Romero and the sound of a bottle of single malt just opened. Return of the Living Dead is a hilarious comedy, but it's not one of Romero's (i think he never did full-on comedy with zombies), it's by O'Bannon who also wrote the Alien screenplay (and came up with the original story). RIP. wonder what he thought of the trash circus that is The Walking Dead. http://www.slashfilm.com/george-a-romero-explains-why-he-wont-do-the-walking-dead/ However, the current craze has Romero reluctant to get too heavily involved. Once they bleed out of pop culture I’ll be able to go back and do them again. I don’t want to touch them now. Gosh, they are all over the place. The Walking Dead is the number one television series in the States, World War Z, games, commercials… Ugh! It’s too much! The filmmaker continued: It feels like I don’t have a horse in the race. They asked me to do a couple of episodes of The Walking Dead but I didn’t want to be a part of it. Basically it’s just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally. I always used the zombie as a character for satire or a political criticism and I find that missing in what’s happening now. To be fair, his last movie also moved zombies to background story.

Rubin Farr Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Not only was Romero an icon in his own right, like Roger Corman, he gave countless other directors and professionals their start in Hollywood.
