According to both producers and director George Romero, a sequel to this new film will made if this film is successful. Considering that Land of the Dead cost less than 20 million to produce, DVD sales alone should guarantee a profit to the studio.
According to Romero, all other projects will have to take a backseat in the immediate future if Universal decides for an immediate follow up to Land of the Dead including his involvement in Mick Garris' Masters of Horror Anthology that is currently being filmed in Vancouver for Anchor Bay/Showtime.
The next film will be a second chapter to the story that we see in Land of the Dead, we will see the surviving characters continue their search for survival in what has become a World of the Dead.

Synopsis:
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead is the acclaimed director's long-awaited return to the horror genre he invented, beginning with the seminal Night of the Living Dead and continuing with Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead.
In this new tale, Romero creates a harrowing vision of a modern-day world where the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland and the living try to lead "normal" lives behind the walls of a fortified city. A new society has been built by a handful of enterprising, ruthless opportunists, who live in the towers of a skyscraper, high above the hard-scrabble existence on the streets below. But outside the city walls, an army of the dead is evolving. Inside, anarchy is on the rise. With the very survival of the city at stake, a group of hardened mercenaries is called into action to protect the living from an army of the dead. Stay tuned to the IESB for further info... |
