Exclusive: Land of the Dead Updates from Twisted Nightmare Weekend

Leonard Lies told me he had been talking with the special effects guys at KNB and that he had a whole concept planned out. Then a few days later they moved the film to Canada. So he talked to Romero but he stated that it doesn't look like he will be appearing. The Hills also stated that they had did the same with no luck. Lies was really down about the whole thing. How the movie industry is all for the green and that Romero was really disappointed that the filming was being done Canada.

Apparently to work on the film in Canada you have to have a work permit otherwise they cannot use you. Leonard also said that they will be using the people provided by Canada. That it has something to do with the tax credits and thats where they will save a huge part of their money.

Unfotunately thats the way it goes folks. I wanted to appear in the movie as much as the next guy but right now it looks like a no go.If previous stars can't get into the films for a small zombie cameo, I wouldn't count on getting a part.

Oh, yes and Tom Savini said about four words to me and walked away. Its sad really, I always thought he would be a really cool guy to talk to. Unfortunately hes not. If your ever going to a convention that he is going to attend don't count on talking to him. As a matter of fact walk up to his table and say "Your effects suck." and walk away. Let him see how it feels.
