George Romero has passed away aged 77 following a period of illness. I'm really sad to see him go. Tributes will be paid over the next few days to one of the great American filmmakers. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

Here's an obituary in 'Variety' : George Romero (1940 - 2017)

"Sad to hear my favorite collaborator--and good old friend--George Romero has died. George, there will never be another like you."

- Stephen King

Thanks for the movies, George, and thanks for the memories.

George Romero Rest in Peace

"Movies are the enemy of the novel because they are replacing novels. Novelists shouldn’t write for the movies, unless, of course, they discover they’re no good at writing novels." - John Irving
