Road of the Dead will carry a “George A. Romero Presents” statement within the title, but will be directed by stuntman-turned-director Matt Birman (Warehouse 13). Birman also co-wrote the story and will contribute to the stunts. From the initial synopsis, the central concept of the story is an insane mix of Mad Max, Death Race, and Romero’s established Dead universe. It will reportedly take place on an island where zombie prisoners race cars in a modern-day Coliseum for the entertainment of wealthy humans.
