We've received confirmation from two separate sources that Night of the Living Dead Director George A. Romero collapsed last week and was hospitalized. No word yet on the reason for the collapse, but it doesn't look good as the start date for Diary of the Dead has been pushed back two months. In addition, he has also canceled his personal appearances for the next couple of months, therefor he won't be appearing at Eerie or Shock and Rock. Inside we have a little note from Chris Roe that gives a little more confirmation to this horrible news. All of our best goes out to George and his family. Get well soon!!

>From Shock and Rock's Website:

"PLEASE NOTE: "It is with great saddness and regret that I must inform you that Mr. Romero will be unable to attend Rock and Shock this year. Due to unforseen medical reasons, which are not life threatening, Mr Romero has been given doctors orders not to travel for the next few weeks. He regrets not being there to meet with his fans, but he simply can not attend at this time. He does however hope that he will be invited back for future events."

Everything and everyone has his/her/its own end, man. C'mon!

Damn, I hope he's okay!

I hope he recovers quickly!

satans-sadists · 10-07-2006, 03:26 PM

Let's hope he does recover quickly. I met him last year in person. George is a terrific guy with a great sense of humor, very polite too.

The Chaostar · 10-07-2006, 04:51 PM

I hope he's ok.

This is awful, but I'm glad to hear it isn't life-threatening. He is such a great guy; I hope he gets well soon so he can hurry up and make more movies for us!

Awww, MAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!!!!

He better make a speedy recovery! I am one of the few who is actually lookign forward to the recently-announced new entry to his Dead series!!!

(and we still need his participation if there's going to be a SE of CREEPSHOW!

)

I hope he's doing better and that he gets well. Hopefully this is more of a medical scare than anything else. Maybe this'll straighten him out and he'll take better care of himself. Everyone needs a good wholesome "Hey, you're not immortal" scare now and then. I'm sure he's more frustrated about not being able to work on Diary of the Dead than anything else.

So George, stay scared.

Mortis · 10-07-2006, 08:32 PM

Get well soon, George!

Glad to hear it sounds like nothing major. Get well soon!

I was going to go to the screening of the crazies he was supposed to be at yesterday. I was bummed when I found out he wasn't going to be there.
