George A. Romero is van plan om een nieuwe zombiefilm te gaan maken. Het gaat niet om een vervolg op zijn Survival of the Dead, maar om een verfilming van Steven C. Schlozmans boek The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse uit 2011. Het gaat over een stel wetenschappers die autopsies uitvoeren bij zombies na het uitbreken van een apocalypse. io9 sprak met Romero en deze had er het volgende over te zeggen:
This is Steves story, not mine. Its more like The Andromeda Strain. Its very tense and very medically correct. This guys a doctor, its all about being medically correct. I think about it like the first Hammer Frankenstein film, which was all about very graphic scenes of brains floating in blood and things like that. I want it to be perfectly accurate, almost shockingly so.
Hier is een review van het boek afkomstig van Amazon:
Presented as the journal kept by a neuroscientist investigating the medical causes of zombiism, Schlozmans clever debut shows that theres still life left in the overworked horror theme of the living dead. Dr. Stanley Blum is already infected (as is two-thirds of humankind) with ataxic neurodegenerative satiety deficiency syndrome (ANSD)the virus that makes flesh-eating zombies lurch and lunchwhen he decamps to Bassas da India, an island overseen by the U.N., to vivisect captive zombies in the hope of isolating the pathogen before he succumbs to it. Schlozman makes the science both accessible and plausible. In lieu of a meaty plot, he provides a grim vision of zombie apocalypse and a surprise explanation for the viruss origin. Printed as a handwritten diary and illustrated in gory glory with clinical drawings by Andrea Sparacio, this book is sure to be scarfed up by ravenous zombiephiles.
