George A. Romero loves comics. During his interview with Team Blogamole, the director explained how his favorite comic books influenced the gore and morality in his films.
"I grew up on the old DC Comics [releases], before the Comic Code," Romero explained. "I thought they were tremendously moral, and then they got shut down for being immoral... somebody missed the mark there."

Get ready, zombie lovers! "Survival of the Dead" hits theaters tomorrow (May 28) and is filled with xenophobia, struggling workers and disillusioned soldiers.
Hey, are we still talking about a movie?
In our epic interview with the iconic director, George A. Romero shared that he enjoys incorporating playful moments into his bloody creations, but that doesn't mean he doesn't take his work seriously.
"There are all sorts of horror genres," explained Romero, "some of which I wouldn't do."
For Romero, horror works best when it includes political satire. "I would not do a "Friday the 13th" movie, just some guy standing there with a knife," he explained.
George A. Romero On His Latino Heritage: 'I Was The Shark, Not The Jet'

Team Blogamole recently down with director George A. Romero. He gave us some perspective on his new film, "Survival of the Dead", upcoming projects, his dream gig and more! We'll be rolling out clips for the next two weeks – stay tuned or we'll eat your brains!
True George A. Romero fans already know about the director's Latino roots. Born to a Cuban father and Lithuanian mother, Romero's films are inspired by Afro-Caribbean spiritual beliefs.
Ever the honest guy, Romero has spoken candidly about his own father's prejudices against Latinos.
In a 2009 interview with Lee Karr, Romero gave some insight into his conflicted upbringing:
"I'm half Latino, I'm a New York baby right. So my Dad is Cuban, my Mom is Lithuanian. My Dad say's 'I'm not Cuban!' - but you were born in Cuba? 'I am Castilian, from Spain! Family went to Cuba to open a hotel!' Okay, well let's say you're a Cuban, you're a Spanish guy? 'Yes, but I am not a Puerto Rican!'
I grew up in New York with a Spanish Dad right in the days of West Side Story, where you know the Puerto Rican gangs and shit? My Dad is telling me Puerto Ricans are shit. I have a Latino Dad who's telling me that Puerto Ricans are shit.(laughs) I mean this is a very confusing situation...anyway."
When we asked the legendary horror master to discuss the Latino characters in his latest film, he opened up — in the most cinematic of ways.

In turbulent times like these, George A. Romero knows what audiences need – a healthy scarefest riffing on the issues that affect us the most: community and family.
In "Survival of the Dead," a small community fights an epidemic, but generations of conflict build to a showdown that pits man against man – against zombie.
In a recent interview with MTV Tr3s, the horror legend confessed what movie he'd love to direct next – and it's got nothing to do with zombies!

My love affair with zombie movies began at age fourteen, when my friend and I headed to Blockbuster Video one evening after school, dead-set on a good scare. We'd done a little research — mostly after seeing some t-shirts at our favorite alternative music and clothing shop — so we were pretty pleased with ourselves when we walked away with our VHS rental for the night, a little film from 1968 called 'Night of the Living Dead.'
Meeting filmmaker George A. Romero, fifteen years later, was therefore a pretty big deal for me. Nicknamed the "Grandfather of the Zombie," Romero has carved out a 40+ year career directing films about the walking dead — but that doesn't mean he's just out to scare you.
His latest film, 'Survival of the Dead,' like many of his other films, has a clear social commentary attached to it. The sixth and latest installment to his 'Dead' series, 'Survival of the Dead' more or less picks up where his previous film 'Diary of the Dead' left off, with a group of military renegades hoping to escape the zombie apocalypse by heading to the isolated Plum Island.
The film touches on some heavy themes like xenophobia, fear of outsiders, and the idea of protecting your land's borders, all of which play a huge role in today's political climate, verdad?
The colorful cast of characters include some small-town Irish immigrants, a tough-guy sergeant who doesn't give a damn, a hyper-sexed, hyper-religious Latin lover type, and an out-and-proud Latina. Oh, and some flesh-eating zombies!
Ever wondered what it's like to interview a film legend? We've got more details from Sandra, plus an exclusive clip, after the jump! Read more...
