In a recent interview with OHmygore.com George Romero Talks about hi upcoming ZOMBIE FILM Survival of the DEAD

Q: Survival of the Dead is your sixth zombie film. Do you ever get tired of the genre?

A: No, I’m not getting tired of it. I love it. I love the genre. Always have. And I get a chance with these films to make my own observations, express myself a little bit, do a little social criticism…it’s a pretty good gig. I’m not tired of doing it. I love it. I love doing it. Maybe you’re getting tired of it!

Q: What social criticism do you seen in this film?

A: It always starts with some sort of a germ about ‘What’s this movie really going to be about?’ And I think it started a few years ago with the US involvement in Iraq. These young guys going in there, faced with all this tribalism and conflicts that are never going to be resolved. Then I started to think, ‘This is such an age-old problem.’

Q: Why did you pick that?

A: Why did I pick that? I don’t know. I just happened to be thinking about the Northern Ireland problem. I wanted to write this character – O’Flynn – I just had an affection for him. You make these decisions, and you just make the call. You hope that it all somehow glues together. Probably one of the drawbacks of having complete freedom is that there are no police around – nobody to say ‘Wait a minute – you’re over-stepping the line here.’ I love it. These last two films, I’ve had so much freedom. I’m completely free to do what I want. So for good or bad, I’ve been able to do what I want.

Q: You made Land of the Dead with Universal. But this is an independent production. Which do you prefer?

A: Oddly, Universal was very understanding and they really let me make the movie that I scripted. Except for very early script notices that they gave us, they were very supportive. And everybody warned me. I’d had bad experiences – I’d made two studio films before. Creepshow was released by Warners but independently financed. So I made a movie called Monkey Shines and a movie called The Dark Half, both at Orion. And it was awful. Its supposed to be the filmmaker-friendly studio and it was just nothing but constant interference, changing their minds, wanting to do this, wanting to do that. They’d say, ‘Oh, let’s put in a scene that resembles that.’ The typical Hollywood craziness that you hear. So I had not a good time – and they forced me to change the endings on both of those films. So everybody warned me off. They said, ‘If you think that was bad, wait until you get in the hands of Universal.’ It wasn’t true at all. They were very respectful. The problem with more money is that there’s way more responsibility. Everything gets bigger. The catering bill goes up thousands and thousands of dollars, and from a moment to moment basis, you’re not free to improvise. You have to get approval on any script change you want to make. You can’t be spontaneous. Those are the problems. And more money is often not enough. If you’re working with less money, and you’re controlling how you’re spending it, you can budget yourself and make it come out OK. But the studios are used to just throwing money at the wall. But it’s never enough – to really buy back the kind of freedom you have when you’re working on a smaller scale.

Q: The film was entered into competition in Venice. How did that make you feel?

A: I thought they meant ‘Come and show it in the marketplace.’ But Marco [Müller] saw it and said, ‘We want to put it in competition.’ I don’t know if it’s the individual film or the body of work. I’m very surprised. I’m not sure it’s right!
