Second Wave of Fantastic Fest Content Announced

Over at the Fantastic Fest website, they've made their second big announcement about what to expect at the Fest this fall, and it looks like zombies and the apocalypse are ruling. Nothing wrong with that.

Highlights: George A. Romero, returning for a screening of his new movie, Survival of the Dead. A screening of Zombieland, a zombie comedy with Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson, on Sept. 25. A filmmaking competition called Totally Awesome Video Games, judged by director and pugilist Uwe Boll, in which registrants have to turn a video game into a movie (well, a trailer, but you know). A screening of Daybreakers, about a vampire takeover of the earth and the vampire researcher who tries to invent synthetic (true)blood to prevent it.
