Generally speaking, Romero was pretty far from being “hollywood”. Dude made almost exclusively indie films shot in the suburbs of Pittsburgh where he lived for much of his life. Extras were almost all locals. I’m from southeastern PA but I know multiple people who know at least one person who worked on one of his movies.
I really loved Romero’s work. And who knows, maybe this will be great. But then again, it might be like Brian Herbert’s Dune novels - a shameless, mediocre cash grab built on top of his father’s estate.
Either way, I stand by what I said: enough with the torch passing. This ain’t a family business.
Agree on the silliness. Still loved Darwi Odrade as a character.
And Brian’s best work doesn’t come close to Heretics, which for me was the weakest of all of Frank’s books. It’s like a cargo cult construction, all cardboard and no substance.
Yet another blatant Hollywood money grab. Romero = zombies, that’s sure to sell big. It’s in the genes, man!
Enough with the torches. Go do your own thing.

So, although I don’t disagree, can we at least come to the table and agree that “dune” was done by god emperor, and anything past that was silly?

God Emperor is where I always finish my rereads.
Yeah sounds more like an indie cash grab. Although I do like the “no guns” angle
