I actually am working on a fanfic called Legacy of the Dead, and Will of the Dead. Legacy takes place approx 10 years after the 2005 Land of the Dead and follows Simon Baker's character.
Will of the Dead takes place even further in the future, following the same character, who is now in his 50s. In Legacy mankind is nearly destroyed completly, leaving only a few thousand people worldwide, they form a coalition under his character's guidance. In the Will of the Dead, another 10-15 years in the future mankind has started to repopulate but the ever-rotting dead still swarm over the Earth, now a new threat is on the horizon, the very Earth itself seems to die, animals, plants, start to zombify.
Will there ever be hope to lift this curse? I want to feature the character of John (from the original Day of the Dead) in both but I'm trying to figure out a reasonable way, considering it was pretty close-ended. we'll see.
I know Simon Baker's character and the people in the Dead Reckoning were heading north, he wanted to be left alone, but he got stuck with those people. Now they are in a constant struggle to survive heading to the vast nothingness of the canadian wildnerness. I want to find a way to bring some of the characters from the other Dead movies (who survived, anyway) into this. Maybe Ving Rhames's character from Dawn and the girl, maybe they made it back onto their useless boat and were out in the middle of the lake waiting to die and they get picked up. Since they are up by Canada they decide to head north with some survivers from the original Dawn of the Dead (who pick them up in a helicopter).
Anyway I am just a huge fan of the Dead movie's as I know many of you are, as an aspiring writer it is often a question in my mind as to what happened to these characters after. If there is a way to chronologicly put these movies in order surely we could tie the characters together into a few final stories and maybe put some...I dunno, clossure to the whole thing? Either all of mankind dies and the dead walk, or we somehow pull out of an impossible situation...I dunno.
Only Mr. Romero himself would truely know where to go I guess. I wish I could co-write something with him!
