Fangoria reports that a cast has been set for George Romero's long-awaited return to the zombie genre - "Land of the Dead". Simon Baker, Asia Argento and John Leguizamo will play soldiers who are among the living survivors in a walled city surrounded by a zombie-populated wasteland.

The trio set out to do battle with the massing creatures in an armored vehicle called the Dead Reckoning. Also in the cast is Robert Joy, a veteran of genre pics, joining previously announced Dennis Hopper. "Land" hopes to launch a series of undead films, begins production on October 11th in Toronto.
