Is Michael Moore an honest documentarian? Honestly? I don’t think he is… The real discussion gets left behind the entertainment value. George A. Romero Read Quote
If I go to a movie and it’s particularly violent, and people are leaving the theatre ready to vomit, we’re sitting there with our popcorn just chuckling. George A. Romero Read Quote
In 2007, ‘Diary of the Dead’ all of a sudden made money. I was blindsided by that. George A. Romero Read Quote
Because of ‘World War Z’ and ‘The Walking Dead,’ I can’t pitch a modest little zombie film which is meant to be sociopolitical. George A. Romero Read Quote
My zombie films were all sort of satirical, with political messages. So I was doing them inexpensively and quietly off in left field somewhere. George A. Romero Read Quote
I guess my stuff needs to grow on people. Too bad! That seems to happen with all of it. George A. Romero Read Quote
There is something about the sameness people like. And what I’ve tried to do with all the zombie films is purposely make them different. That may be part of why it takes so long for people to see what it’s intended to be. George A. Romero Read Quote
At the time we did ‘Night,’ I was a director of television commercials. Some of them cost a lot more than our whole movie. They were very slick, sophisticated… we wanted the opposite look for ‘Night.’ We wanted it to look like a newsreel. George A. Romero Read Quote
With ‘Dawn,’ I wanted the slick look; I wanted to bring out the nature of the shopping center, the retail displays, the mannequins. There are times when maybe you reflect that the mannequins are more attractive but less real – less sympathetic, even – than the zombies. Put those kinds of images side by side, and you raise all sorts of questions. George A. Romero Read Quote
