Variety is reporting that Zach Snyder will be reteaming with Warners to create a new zombie film somewhere down the line. This time, the film will be based on an original story by Snyder, rather than remaking another of George A. Romero’s classics.

It’s unclear whether Snyder will direct or not, but it sounds like good news all around to me. Dawn of the Dead 2004 was a great zombie film, that unfortunately shared the name of the greatest zombie movie of all time, so I’m excited to see what Snyder and Co. can do without the weight of Romero’s legacy on them.

With this and Romero’s Diary of the Dead in the pipe it should be a good couple of years for zombie horror fans.
