George A. Romero has signed on to become the Director and Writer of the 'Before The Outbreak...' series which starts on November 30. He'll join Belinda Jones in the Writer's block to pen the script and story and will join Marcus Thompson to direct the series. The show kicks off on November 30, in Pleasantview.

The signing of Romero has made the public question why he was not bought in for the 'The Outbreak In...' series, which has a larger horror theme, but both Thompson, Jones and Romero, all believe that the decision was the right way to go. In an interview with all three of them in The Simmy, they all said the following:

"I have every confidence in this series, the signing of Romero is huge, and I'm sure we'll work together well and write a fantastic script for the show in the short time period."
Belinda Jones

"I am incredibly pleased to have a massive Director like Romero on board for the show. He will make the show even better and I'm sure it will be a massive success."
Marcus Thompson

"I am very happy to have joined the team, and I look forward to making a great production despite the short time period."
George A. Romero

The upcoming movie, produced by Sim Land Productions and Golden Media will be released on November 30 2008 at 9pm.
