George Romero’s “Survival of the Dead” - Latest Poster

"Survival isn't just for the living"

Here is the latest poster for George Romero’s horror flick “Survival of the Dead”.
SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth, relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island – a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided: the O’Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept “alive” until a cure is found. The result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic Western stand-off that erupts in brutality and violence.
Starring Alan Van Sprang, Kathleen Munroe, Kenneth Welsh, Devon Bostick, Athena Karkanis, Julian Richings, Wayne Robson, Joris Jarsky, George Stroumboulopoulos, Matt Birman, Stefano Colacitti and Heather Allin.

“Survival of the Dead” will premiere on VOD, Amazon and Xbox Live on April 30th and in Theatres May 28, 2010.



Angelina Jolie declined to do Wanted 2

The excitement pump up when the news about Angelina Jolie reprising her role in the upcoming sequel of "Wanted" but unfortunately she decided to declined on doing the project.
According NY Mag, "Universal craved a sequel to Angelina Jolie’s assassination tango/loom tutorial Wanted. Unfortunately for the studio, Jolie is leaving them…wanting. We’ve just heard the actress has pulled out of the planned Timur Bekmambetov-directed sequel at Universal, and the studio has pulled the plug rather than recast the film. As for Jolie, we hear she is now intent on starring in Warner Bros.’ Gravity, a space thriller to be directed by Children of Men’s Alfonso Cuarón from a script he wrote with his 28-year-old son, Jonás."
After saying no to Wanted 2, the NY news about Jolie's next project Warner Bros.’ Gravity is also not a done deal.
According to EW, "Sources confirm New York Magazine’s report that Angelina Jolie will not reprise her role as the highly trained assassin Fox in Wanted 2. The script for the sequel was already complete and the studio had hoped to get the film into production this year. It’s not clear now if they will proceed. While New York said Jolie has opted instead to do Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity, which was said to have moved to Warner Bros. after it lived at Universal for years, Jolie’s reps say the actress has passed on doing Gravity at Warner Bros. It’s not yet clear as to why and sources indicate the Gravity portion of the story was quite premature. Warner Bros. is still unable to confirm whether or not Gravity is even set up with the studio. Stay tuned."
Jolie is currently busy filming the espionage flick, "The Tourist".
