George A. Romero has begun filming his latest zombie movie, following the success of Diary of the Dead.

No title has yet been released for the movie, which stars regular Romero player Alan Van Sprang alongside a predominantly Canadian cast including Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti and Athena Karkanis.

Romero has written the screenplay, originally designed as a sequel to Diary of the Dead. The film is set on an isolated island off the North American coast where zombies are plaguing the inhabitants. The leaders of the island argue whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure.

The new film is being shot in Toronto under the blanket title "Untitled George Romero Zombie Movie" by Romero's production company Blank of the Dead.
