In an early announcement to retailers, The Weinstein Company has revealed that they will bring the latest George A. Romero film Diary of the Dead to Blu-ray on October 21st, according to Blu-ray.com. As this is an unofficial announcement, no additional details regarding technical specs or special features are available at this time. With a story mixing elements of “The Blair Witch Project” and the long-running “Dead” series, the film will follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a “cinema verite” style that causes more than the usual production headaches.
