LAND OF THE DEAD GETS R RATING

The Motion Picture Association of America has granted George A. Romero?s LAND OF THE DEAD an R rating for ?pervasive strong violence and gore, language, brief sexuality and some drug use.? Perhaps this means that the R LAND won?t be that far removed from an director?s unrated cut. In other Romero news, FANGORIA #244, our LAND OF THE DEAD cover story now at newsstands, has emerged as Fango?s hottest-selling issue in a long time. ?The magazine is flying off the shelves,? says FANGORIA publisher Norman Jacobs. ?It has been many years since we have seen an edition sell so fast as the June issue. They can?t keep them stocked at Barnes & Noble.?
