Diary of the Dead is an independent horror film. It will be the fifth film[2] in director George A. Romero's Dead series. However, in "an attempt to re-establish a lucrative franchise,"[1] the film will, technically and philosophically, be a reboot, "a rejigging of the myth [sic]"[1] says Romero. Even though the fourth film was studio-produced through Universal Studios, Diary of the Dead will be produced by Romero's and his producer friend Peter Grunwald's Romero-Grunwald Productions with Artfire Films.[3] The film began its four-week shoot in Toronto on October 19, 2006.[4]
Romero announced the film in August 2006 [3] after signing a deal to write and direct it. The plot involves a group of film school students who are filming a horror movie in the wilderness, and who are attacked by zombies. All will take place during the same night as Night of the Living Dead. It will give a new perspective on the whole phenomenon as the students learn about the zombies through first-hand experience as opposed to the people locked up in the farmhouse in Night of the Living Dead.[5]
