George Romero's Road of the Dead Plot Details

The film is from an idea Birman apparently pitched Romero way back after Land Of The Dead (2005). In this conceit, there is an island in that familiar post-zombie apocalypse landscape where human survivors use and abuse zombie prisoners as entertainment. To be exact, the zombies perform as race car drivers in a 'modern day' Coliseum for the amusement of rich, living patrons. The film is being described as part Road Warrior, part Rollerball by way of Nascar, and even part Ben-Hur.
