This computer-generated meat tastes real!

Diary of the Dead was a travesty of everything a George A. Romero zombie film once stood for. While he hasn’t crossed over to super-strong, fast-moving zombies (yet), the genre originator filled his latest walking dead tale with annoying, YouTube actors and computer-generated gore effects. (Never mind the fact that he trashes the idea of CG effects in the Dawn of the Dead DVD commentary.) Sticking to what he used to do best, Romero is once again preparing another walking dead, set to start shooting September 15, according to Bloody-Disgusting.com.

Diary of the Dead 2 picks up with the survivors of the first film still trapped in the mansion. After escaping a battle with the undead, they hop a ferry and go to an island, which happens to be populated with more zombies. The sequel will be the sixth film in the series and the continuation of Romero’s downfall.
