Romero Takes on Solitary Isle

Technically, this isn't "zombie" news, but it's Romero news, so here it is.

From Bloody-Disgusting:

George A. Romero has signed to write and direct the thriller Solitary Isle for Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment and Kadokawa Pictures, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The film, based on a short story by Koji Suzuki ("The Ring," "Dark Water"), marks the first project in a 50-50 joint venture between Hyde Park and Kadokawa in which they will co-finance horror-thriller films in the under-$25 million range. "Solitary" likely will be distributed by 20th Century Fox, where Hyde Park has its first-look deal. Hyde Park International will handle foreign. The story chronicles an expedition to a deserted island that turns deadly as the explorers face an unknown force.
