Halloween is upon us and with that in mind OWF can bring you info on an upcoming splatter sequel.

Horror auteur George Romero’s next movie is a go and it’ll be Diary of the Dead 2. Romero will shoot the film in March of next year.

Diary of the Dead hasn’t even been released yet, though The Weinstein Company picked up the US and worldwide distribution rights at the Toronto Film Festival so expect to see it fairly soon.

Reviews for the film have been decidedly mixed, so hopefully there’s something in Diary worth making a sequel for other than the fact it’d be a fast and cheap shoot and would turn a profit quickly.

Stay tuned to OWF as we’ll be bringing you several more big exclusives today and tomorrow.
