Sneak peek of the dead!

George Romero gave a few lucky fans at Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear in Toronto a glimpse of two scenes from his upcoming project "Diary of the Dead". The clips were shown during the Speak of the Dead retrospective of Romero's career. The following is clipped from ShockTillYouDrop.com...
"The first snippet was set in the woods where the film's leads - a band of filmmakers - listened intently to radio reports of undead attacks. As Romero would later explain, the story is told from a subjective point-of-view, à la The Blair Witch Project, during the "first night" of Night of the Living Dead's zombie uprising. So, yes, there's some hand-held action to behold, but it appears surprisingly slick. The second clip, on the other hand, was loaded with video drop-outs and occasional static as the zombie action grew more intense.

Here, our heroes venture into a hospital where they encounter two zombies. A character steps into our line of vision to pop off a couple of gunshots to his target's chest with little results. "Try the head!" screams a voice off-camera. "Shoot it in the head!" Blammo! Another pull of the trigger and a bullet soars into the cranium of one undead menace. As a female zombie approaches, we hear one leading lady yell, "Wait!" hoping to conserve bullets. She slides into view, shimmies past the slow-moving zombie, grabs the paddles of a nearby defibrillator, powers them full of juice and slams them on either side of the zombie's head, cooking it in the process.

The crowd went nuts as a faint trace of smoke erupted from both of the collapsing corpse's eye-sockets."

The film is STILL being tweaked and what was shown were both still works in progress and may I say the longer it is before this film sees the light of day, the lower my hopes will dip.
I really really want this it be incredible and keep the faith that Georgie boy hasn't lost it but as with all things, time will tell.
