Michael Mayer with Anne-Katrin Titze on having Michael Urie, Jennifer Coolidge, Kathy Najimy, Barry Bostwick for Single All The Way: “It was just one fantastic delicious cast member after another.”

On the day the great Joan Didion died at the age of 87 in her Manhattan apartment, Michael Mayer and I remembered her, we discussed the many challenges of filming a feature in 2021, and the difficulty in keeping Broadway theatres open to the public during a pandemic.

Stars: George Tchortov, Alanna Bale, Adrian Holmes, Chris Mark, Eric Hicks, Michael Joseph Delaney, Patrick Sabongui, Elvis Stojko, Stefano Dimatteo, Jeffrey R. Smith, Dorren Lee | Written by James Mark, Matthew Nayman, Peter Van Horne | Directed by James Mark

Humans with enhanced powers are being hunted down and captured by an Above Top Secret government agency. As one of them fights for her freedom she realizes one of her own kind may be an even bigger threat. The New Mutants or another new X-Men film?

No, it’s Enhanced, the new film from director James Mark. He’s teamed up with co-writers Matthew Nayman (Betrayal) and Peter Van Horne for a semi-sequel to Mark’s 2017 film Kill Order. Neither the film’s poster or any press materials refer to Enhanced as a sequel to or even in the same world as Kill Order. But the connections are obvious. The mutant’s powers,...

George A. Romero returns to the dead with his latest zombie epic. When the granddaddy of the zombie genre returns to it, the hopes are high. The last two efforts had a tinge of disappointment, especially the last one, but Survival does feature some of the social commentary that Romero is known for and outdoes that last effort. It.s not 2012 yet, but the world has entered apocalyptic territory. The dead have been rising from the grave and spreading the plague so that now the hungry dead outnumber the living. This nightmarish landscape is roamed by rogue soldiers Sgt. Crockett (Alan van Sprang), Kenny (Eric Woolfe), Francisco (Stefano Colacitti), and .Tomboy. (Athena Karkanis). Tired of the madness...

Romero's latest revolves around a theme of tribalism, which can be seen in the trailer. As well, this project started out as a sequel to Diary of the Dead, but script changes ruled this possibility out (Uhm). In case you have not been beaten over the head enough with the film's trailer,...

I'll get the good part of George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead out of the way. It's a big one - do you like the Moon? Great. So do millions of Americans. If you like the Moon, Survival of the Dead has the most enormous image of the Moon you have ever seen.

It is so gargantuan, it surpasses even an image of the Moon about to crash into the Earth-the kind a sage and steady African-American President, like Morgan Freeman or Dennis Haysbert, is needed to save humanity from. This Moon has already slammed into the Atlantic and is cleaving away the last moments of life on the planet. That is how unrelentingly ginormous the image of the Moon is.

Otherwise, George A. Romero...

Let’s face it, zombies make pretty bad neighbors, what with all the trying to eat you and whatnot. So how do we expect them to make good family members? That’s apparently the goal of a couple of Irish fellas living on an island in George Romero’s latest zombie opus, the unfortunately titled “Survival of the Dead”. Check out a rough cut of the red band trailer for the horror movie below. Fair warning: the quality is pretty, well, rough, being an unofficial trailer and all. On an island off the coast of North America, local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while hoping for a cure to return their un-dead relatives back to their human state. Starring Devon Bostick, Julian Richings, Athena Karkanis, Kathleen Munroe, Joris Jarsky, Kenneth Welsh, Alan Van Sprang, Wayne Robson, George Stroumboulopoulos, Richard Fitzpatrick, Heather Allin, Stefano Dimatteo, Matt Birman, and written and directed by George Romero.

The King of Zombies return with “Survival of the Dead”, which is a pretty weird title, but there you have it.

Instead, various sites reported that the new film would take viewers onto an island and feature underwater zombies (yummy!). This evening something official has finally hit the web on the film rumored to be working under the title of Island Of The Dead, all of which can be found inside (finally, some answers). Cast includes Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti and Athena Karkanis.
