Land of the Dead Cannes screening review

Some people just are lucky. Our German colleague Jakob Montrasio from Mysan.de had the chance to see the 14minute screening of George Romero's upcoming zombie movie Land of the Dead, in Cannes. And it looks like this movie will rock. He has only very positive things to report. But read for yourself. Here's a little clip, but be aware that it might contain some spoilers:

It starts with a nice slow shot of a wedding gone bad: all the people are zombies. The first thing that i noticed were the absolutely creepy masks. Damn, they were the best zombie masks I have ever seen.

...suddenly they see an alive zombie near them on the ground, and BLAM there you have your first headshot from Leguziamo. 2 minutes running, one down already...

...Well, and then there is the last shot, which is beautiful: The zombies start walking in the direction that the humans have left. Now, thats a Stylebreak, but goddamit, it was Romero, who invented zombie movies, so a discussion is unneccessary. He orientates the zombies at 28 Days Later, but they dont run here. So, it's all okay.

As I said, this movie is gonna kick ass really hard.
