This is the beginning of the end. Courtesy of The Weinstein Company, we now have the first clip from George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (opening February 15th). The footage, taken from the outset of the film, features exactly what you want...zombies, zombies, zombies! More "Diary" coverage on the way.

I haven't seen Flight of the Dead yet, it is going to be released somewhere in February in Holland. BTW, I really recommend Undead. I really enjoyed that movie, funny with great zombies. 

I agree with you on the audience wanting fast paced action, but I don't like it. Zombies have to be slow. According to the trailer of Diary of the Dead, the zombies are slow (but I'm still in doubt because of the zombie in the hospital). Well, let's just hope that it will be good.

But a fast zombie doesn't make sense. A zombie is a living dead. When you die, Rigor mortis sets in and there limbs and muscles become stiff, making it hard for them to move fast. That is the reason why the "old" zombies walk slowly. And that's how it should be. Exception of course are the "zombie-like" humans in 28 Days Later. They are not dead yet, but only infected with a virus. So not zombies, but scary as hell.

I was shocked when I read the message on CNN. RIP Heath.

The trailer looks great, I love zombies. As long as Romero don't follow the trend of fast zombies, I'm happy and really looking forward to it. I love the poster by the way:
