The new big zombie series on AMC is expected to be this one right here."Production company Demarest Films first announced the project at the Cannes International Film Festival in May. Romero and longtime collaborator Peter Grunwald will co-write the adaptation and co-executive produce with Sam Englebardt and William D. Johnson.Romero is known for directing Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, and previously wrote The Death of Death for DC Comics.
