Geekscape Comics: George Romero Currently Writing Secret Zombie Comic For Marvel

So, if you could have any one at all write a zombie comic for Marvel, you’d pick George Romero right? Well, it appears your wish is about to come true. The godfather of all zombie film, George A. Romero was recently interviewed at the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival in Sweden by Twitchfilm, and he dropped an awesome little piece of information:

Twitch – You’ve said if you were ever given something like fifty-million dollars, you’d just make ten five-million dollar movies. In that regard, what is next? Or even what is the next project you’d dream to make? Is there a novel out there you want to adapt, even non-dead related?

 

Romero – I am in fact adapting a novel right now, and it is a zombie novel, but it’s not my kind of zombies. It’s a novel called The Zombie Autopsies written by a Harvard medical doctor. It’s a wonderful book and I’m having a wonderful time adapting it into a screenplay. I am also working on an original story, which I guess if I had to categorize it, I would say it’s a psychological thriller. it’s….mmm, Psycho like? But it’s not really. I don’t know how to tell you anything more without giving it away. But in reality I don’t actually know for sure what the next one is going to be. It often comes up out of the blue. You just don’t know which one the money is going to come through for. I am also writing a comic for Marvel. I’m writing it now, but it’s plot is a secret.

 

Twitch: Awww c’mon George, just a little nibble? A tid bit?

 

Romero: Well I can tell you it won’t involve any of their on-going characters, there will be no superheroes. But it will involve zombies!

 

We know. You’re excited. We’re excited.
