TV Series

George A. Romero's and Marvel's Comic Series, "Empire of the Dead" may be made into a TV series.

Demarest Films are developing the series, and details are starting to come out. Romero is currently co-writing the TV show adaptation of the comic book series with long time writing partner Peter Grunwald and is, no surprise, keen to be involved in the TV series.

"Well, I think I'll hopefully be directing a couple [of the episodes]... We don't have a production deal yet, but our fingers are crossed and it looks good... But I hope to direct a couple, and I'm writing the pilot, and probably at least most of the first season if it flies."

Both Romero and Grunwald will serve as executive producers if the series goes ahead. Romero also spoke about the Marvel limited comic book series of the same name, which concludes with issue 15 in August 2015."'All of a sudden, there are just too many zombies running around... So I just took a break and decided to do this Empire of the Dead instead as a comic series. There are zombies in it, but there are zombies and vampires. I've been doing it almost two years, and took a break from film stuff.'"

Sam Englebardt and Bill Johnson, the CEO and Chairman of Demarest, will also join as producers of the show.
