Dead rise again

Cult horror director George A Romero looks set to return to the big screen.

The director of the iconic 1968 film "Night Of The Living Dead" is thinking of adding to his zombie trilogy following the success of the 2004 re-make of "Dawn Of The Dead".

Variety is reporting that he has now signed up to write and direct "Land of the Dead".

The director is also currently involved in another zombie film.

While not part of the classic "Dead" trilogy - "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) and "Day Of The Dead" (1985) - Romero is currently involved in "Diamond Dead".

This film is a comedy horror movie about a rock band who are brought back to life. Marilyn Manson and Gwen Stefani are reportedly set to feature in the film.
