| **FIRST OFF, I AM NOT GEORGE...BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT GEORGE IS A VERY BUSY PERSON AND DOSEN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO HANG OUT ON MYSPACE. SO I MADE THIS PROFILE OUT OF LOVE, RESPECT, AND APPRECIATION FOR GEORGE AND HIS WORK. Please ADD my personal page.George is an American director, writer, editor, actor, and composer.Best known for his horror movies with a zombie theme, which are known for providing a commentary on contemporary society. He was born and grew up in New York City, and attended Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. After graduation, he began shooting mostly short films and commercials. George and some friends formed Image Ten Productions in the late 1960s and they all chipped in roughly $10,000 apiece to produce what became one of the most celebrated horror films of all time, which he had written together with John A. Russo: Night of the Living Dead (1968).The movie became a cult classic in the 1970s. they updated the original screenplay and was executive producer of the remake of Night of the Living Dead directed by Tom Savini for Columbia/Tristar in 1990. His next few films were less popular: There's Always Vanilla (1971), The Crazies (1973), Season of the Witch (1973) and Martin (1976). Though not as acclaimed as Night of the Living Dead or some of his later work, these films have his signature social commentary while dealing with issues (usually horror-related) at the microscopic level. Like almost all of his films, they were shot in or around George's favorite city...Pittsburgh. In 1978, he returned to the zombie genre with Dawn of the Dead (1978). Shot on a budget of just $1.5 million, the film earned over $40 million worldwide and was named one of the top cult films by Entertainment Weekly in 2003. Critics and fans overwhelmingly consider DAWN OF THE DEAD his best work. After completion of the "Dead Trilogy" in 1985 with the less-heralded Day of the Dead. George also had a cameo appearance in Jonathan Demme's Academy Award winning "The Silence of The Lambs" in 1991 as one of Hannibal Lecter's jailers.Universal Studios produced and released a remake of Dawn of the Dead in 2004, in which he was not involved. The original is considered far superior by critics and most fans.As for George, He still lives in Pittsburgh, recently completed a fourth "Dead" movie, Land of the Dead (formerly known as Dead Reckoning), in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with a $16 million production budget (the highest in his career). Actors Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento and John Leguizamo star in the film. It was released on June 24, 2005... | |
