Well, everyone, your raucous applause and dedication to the cause of human-zombie integration has been recognized.
Not only is the Midnight Madness audience officially nominated for the annual Colin Geddes Prize for the Promotion of Living-Undead Harmony, but it now seems that your reaction has helped George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead get sold.
The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Romero sold the rights to Diary yesterday for somewhere between $2-2.5 Million to the Weinsteins (a fact we will NOT hold against him).
Our congratulations go out to George and his people. We, as an incredible audience, take every last inch of credit for the sale of the incredible satire that you painstakingly created.
Way to go, everyone.
