Incredibly Strange Film Show - Romero Interview

Jonathan Ross interviews George Romero and Tom Savini, and provides a retrospective of their careers in this episode of 'The Incredibly Strange Film Show' from 1989.

Romero is currently doing the rounds to promote his latest film, 'Diary of The Dead' and Chud.com has an interesting interview with the director here in which he sheds some thoughts on the impetus behind the latest film. Reading between the lines and taken in conjunction with some other recent comments, you get the impression that Romero was not entirely happy with how Land of the Dead turned out. Diary sounds interesting, but the seeming reliance on CGI effects seems worrying. The film opens in the US this weekend, and the reception it receives will likely determine whether the UK gets a theatrical release or whether this one goes direct to DVD.
