Variety reports that a cast has been set for LAND OF THE DEAD, George Romero's long-awaited return to the zombie genre. Simon (THE RING 2) Baker, Asia (THE STENDHAL SYNDROME) Argento and John (SPAWN) Leguizamo will play soldiers who are among the living survivors in a walled city surrounded by a zombie-populated wasteland. The trio set out to do battle with the massing creatures in an armored vehicle called the Dead Reckoning (which was an early title for this project). Also in the cast is Robert Joy, a veteran of genre pics including AMITYVILLE 3-D, THE DARK HALF and the recent HELTER SKELTER TV movie, joining previously announced Dennis Hopper. LAND, which producing entity Atmosphere Entertainment hopes will launch a series of undead films, rolls October 11 in Toronto.
