There is little doubt that zombies have become one of the monsters with the greatest impact on popular culture. In recent years the undead have made appearances in movies, series, video games and graphic novels. But it is clear that this would not have been possible without the contribution of George A. Romero. The late filmmaker laid the foundation for the archetypal zombie with his 1968 film, The night of the Living Dead (The Night of the Living Dead), a film that gave rise to a franchise that spanned decades and that continues to inspire new productions to this day.
One of the most recent will come to us from the legendary director’s own daughter, Tina Romerowho intends to keep his father’s legacy alive in a new film he called: Queens of the Dead. This production, which, according to Tubwhich has the seal of approval from the father of the living dead, has been described as a gore-heavy glam zombie comedy set in modern times.
“My perspective of the world is feminine, queer and very dance. And I describe it as a ‘glam gore zom-com’. There may be some glitter in the blood“, he acknowledged Tub about the project that plans to begin filming in the coming weeks. Queens of the Dead will also stick to the classic formula of George A. Romerowith slow zombies and some social criticism.
The script of Queens of the Dead was co-written by Tub and the comedian Erin Judge (Quiet Desperation). Its story has as its protagonist a drag queen retreat, will take place on a night at the beginning of the resurrection of the dead and the main scenario will be a party in which everything goes wrong.
According to the testimony of Tina RomeroAnother interesting point is that, taking into account how the events unfold, there will be no weapons in his film and the characters will have to resort to their creativity, defending themselves with whatever they have at their disposal. It will be, in essence, a motley group of people who will have to become fighters by force.
Queens of the Deadthe zombie movie of the daughter of George A. Romerowill hit theaters sometime in 2025.
