Thanks to Mac for the heads up.
The production-finance company made the announcement Thursday at Cannes.
The series will be written by Romero and longtime partner Peter Grunwald, and executive produced by Romero and Grunwald with Demarest’s Sam Englebardt and William D. Johnson.
Romero’s iconic 1968 film “Night of the Living Dead” conceived the idea of a zombie apocalypse. “Empire of the Dead” mixes in vampires with zombies.

Vampires and zombies? I'm in.
ReplyDeleteWow vampires and zombies? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteOld news. Looks like Empire + The Walking Dead. I'm so in!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't even sound remotely appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteHuh, never heard of this.
ReplyDeleteGuess I should pick up the first TPB and see if it's any good...
Well if anyone should get a chance to have piece of the Zombie TV pie then it should be the master himself Romero.
ReplyDeleteWait, this is from Marvel?
ReplyDeleteThe comic book, yes. The TV show, no.
ReplyDelete'The Master himself' has fallen out of grace and made two of the worst horror films in recent history.(Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead) so I wouldn't exactly put my utmost trust in him.
ReplyDeleteVampires and Zombies Yay at first I thought it was trolling saying Empire and The Walking Dead was doing a TV show together.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I can't wait to see when they do a trailer for it.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh who will produce? This sounds really cool.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading it since the first issue. It's really good. The entire time I was reading I thought it would be perfect for a TV Show.
ReplyDeleteZombies ok. But vampires... no! Please don't!
ReplyDeleteInteresting is that AMC will be airing it, lol... same as TWD & FTWD... too many zombie shows ...☺...
ReplyDeleteSo it's based on a graphic novel? Never heard of it, but if Romero is involved you know there's some good horror pedigree in there...
