Anyone know what happened to this movie?
The trailer was released for "Island of the Dead" at least 18 months ago, it was generally panned all over the net, it then appears the movie sank without trace.
Did they ever finish it?

It's hard to say anything bad about this guy, after all he is the father of one of my favorite genres of cinema, but I'm wondering if George Romero is loosing a bit of his appeal. We've known for some time that the man who started the zombie obsession back in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead has an untitled project - AICN calls it Island of the Dead - slated for 2009. And just recently, we received word that, indeed, shooting has begun in Ontario, which surrounds inhabitants of an island off the coast of North America who must decide whether to kill or preserve (for a cure) their re-animated dead relatives. The primary cast for the film has also been revealed, which is made up of folks you probably don't know, save for maybe character actor Kenneth Walsh, and some brand new set photos have popped up over on AICN. Obviously, anything Romero does is a welcome addition to the this genre, but I can't say this news of his next project particularly interests me. After seeing Land of the Dead in 2005, I was honestly a bit disappointed. Sure, the film had its camp and the societal commentary and was classic Romero, but it wasn't nearly compelling as I'd hope. Zack Snyder's 2004 remake of Romero's Dawn of the Dead was actually the last really good zombie film I've seen (if memory serves). Romero's most recent, Diary of the Dead, was lacking, too, and garnered less than $700K at the boxoffice. For Diary, Romero claimed that "[he] wanted to do something about emerging media," motivated in part by the YouTube generation. Should the icon really be chasing trends? It seems that Romero's desire to comment on America through his particular taste for horror is diminishing his work and dare I say his reputation.

Ahhhhh now thats a better trailer, I really think they made a mistake of releasing an unfinished trailer in the first place, it just got torn apart on the web.
Notice its on Xbox live and playstation a month before its released in cinemas.
It does look good though............now.

Lots of zombie kills in this one. And maybe new zombie killing techniques. The more you know the safer you will be.
Low Skill level: The baseball bat, the ax, the pitchfork.
Mid Skill Level: The single shot, the double, the pump-action, the coveted semi-automatic.
High Skill Level: Grenade, dynamite, satchel charge, C-4, etc..
Expert Skill Level: The classic chainsaw, the Chain Gun, the Ripper, etc..
