georgeromero1Ooh, another zombie movie. Dead-Man George Romero is at it again, this time with a movie that may or may not be called Island of the Dead.

An Ain’t It Cool reader snapped a few blurry pics and wrote up a brief description of scenes shot in his hometown of Port Dover, Ontario, Canada. He writes:

“What I know about the scenes filmed is that they take place while the survivors of a zombie attack are trying to escape an island they are on, and as they run for the ferry, it has already departed and they miss the boat so they are forced to confront the zombies that are chasing them.”

He adds, “There is also a scene where a shack is blown up. One of my friends, who was hired as an extra, had to play dead following the explosion. Port Dover resides on the shores of Lake Erie and is a small tourist town, with a large marina.”

Check out the story and photos here.
