Quentin Tarantino Attending Land of the Dead Premiere

Posted by:

George Romero is the king! We all know this since we were his fans before mainstream picked up on him. We just got word from Cameron Romero that not only will the premier in Pittsburgh be a lavish and fun event, but that also Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino will be attending. MovieMaven who is attending the event with a VIP pass needless to say will be just that much more excited. She not only will get to meet and greet with George Romero, but also Quentin Tarantino and the MASTER MINDS behind Shaun of the Dead.

I can not think of a better premier. Quentin Tarantino, Simon and Edgar and George Romero all in one room? You can look for our coverage of the Pittsburgh Premier of Land of the Dead, as well as coverage from the LA Premier and from Atlanta starting Next Monday.. so stay tuned to this zombie channel.....

In Land of the Dead an unimaginable catastrophe destroyed much of human civilization. The recently dead, for an unknown reason, had returned to life and taken the lives of their living brothers and sisters. These "zombies" multiplied rapidly by adding to their ranks with every new victim. Many years later, the dead greatly outnumbered the living. The remnants of humanity fled to a city, where a feudal-like government had taken hold. Fiddler's Green, the center of this fortress city, is where the rich and powerful lived in luxury while the rest of humanity lived in poverty around them. Paul Kaufman, leaving no room for freedom in his kingdom, rules with an iron fist and overwhelming firepower.

In order to ensure his dominance, and upscale lifestyle, Kaufman financed the construction of Dead Reckoning, a fortress-like vehicle that could venture out into the world with relative ease. Riley Denbo, both the designer and commander of Dead Reckoning, has had enough and just entered retirement. Unlike Kaufman, Riley is respected by the citizens of the fortress city for his work to protect them from a dangerous world. However, after a series of incidents, Riley winds up in jail with his best friend Charlie Houk, a member of the Dead Reckoning team, and Slack, a prostitute.

Meanwhile, Cholo DeMora, the 2nd in command of the Dead Reckoning team, has gone rogue! Having his dreams shattered by Kaufman, Cholo is out to even the score. With the Dead Reckoning, as well as the rest of its team, he sets his plan into motion. With no where else to turn, Kaufman and the city elite turn to Riley to fix the situation. Riley is in a race against the clock to stop Cholo from exacting his revenge and killing a lot of incident people in the process.

However, the living will not be the only threat. As hinted in both Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, there is more to the undead than first meets the eye. With a new threat on the horizon, will humanity be able to survive a new onslaught? Is humanity even worth saving in the New World?
