Land of the Dead

Land of the Dead (formerly known as Dead Reckoning) (2005) is the name for the fourth installment of the Living Dead zombie movie series. The movie was shot in Toronto, Ontario, despite director George A. Romero's wishes to continue the series in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The movie began filming on October 11, 2004, and was partially credited to fans, according to Romero, who kept on bugging him to do another zombie movie.

It is the first movie in the series to receive an MPAA rating for its theatrical release. Romero had said for years that he had need to film two versions; an R rated cut for the theatres and an unrated cut for the DVD release. The US theatrical version was rated R and an unrated DVD is planned. Rumours suggested that Romero shot alternate, less explicit, gore scenes for the theatrical release but this is not the case. According to an interview with Romero himself, he admitted that the scenes for the unrated DVD will be more character development rather than added violence. The Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario have rated it 18A. In the UK the BBFC has given it an 15 certificate, though it is unclear if this is the same cut as the US theatrical version.

In an interview, Romero jokingly said that he would like to do a film where Zombies existed as a part of everyday life and people went on with their normal lives with Zombie Patrol.
