Somebody please give George Romero 6 million

From Romero's web site http://www.georgearomero.com/qa1.html:

Q: How close is DEAD 4 to actually being a reality, and would you consider shooting it with a 24-fps digital video camera?

A: You have the camera, I'll start shooting today! I'll shoot with whatever camera anybody is willing to put in my hands. I'd prefer 35mm film, as a 35mm neg. still offers widest distribution.

Anchor Bay has an offer on the table for a 3-4 million dollar budget. I'm afraid the film might cost 5-6. I hope A.B. will agree to taking in a "partner", maybe a European company. If not, maybe private investment can be found.

Either way, I am currently working on the script...almost finished... and I am hoping for the best.

I would front the money, but as it seems I am a poor ass college student scarping by each month.

It has nothing to do with paramilitary training.

In 1978, Dawn of the Dead cost 1.5 million, which is 4.05 million in 2001 dollars. In 1985, Day of the Dead cost 3.5 million to make, which is 5.7 million in 2001 dollars. From his previous track record he should be able to pull off something good with 5 to 6 million.

Oh God. Did you eat all this acid?

I'm not sure the Anchor Bay offer is still on the table. The company was looking to go into film production, but looks like they're concentrating on other things now, though I'm not sure how much that was Anchor Bay versus the parent company looking to use Anchor Bay's cred to get a couple of movies made.

Bill Lustig is a major bad ass, though, and they've got a bunch of cool discs hitting this year including a new special edition of "Maniac" where Lustig spent the dough to even get it THX-certified and there's a new 50-minute documentary about Spinell on it.

Vladimir: I can't go on like this.
Estragon: That's what you think.
