FANGORIA had the honor of celebrating the great George A. Romero's birthday yesterday with A Very Scary Unbirthday, a live event featuring cast and crew of Queens of the Dead, last year's queer zombie horror-comedy from Romero's daughter, Tina Romero. Among the festivities and appearances from special guests such as stars Katy O'Brian and Nina West, Romero and co-writer Erin Judge teased their next project, and frankly, we're already obsessed with it.

Speaking with Fango's own EIC Phil Nobile Jr. and Community and Content Manager Kimberly Leszak, Romero and Judge revealed that they are currently working on a “big gay ensemble” shark movie, with the working title of Jawline (as if you weren't sold already!)

Billed as a “cousin” to Queens of the Dead, plot and cast details remain under wraps, but Judge did promise that Jawline will feature “beautiful queer people on the beach”, while Romero expressed a desire to do some crossover casting on the horror-comedy chomper.

Romero and Judge also revealed that a Queens of the Dead sequel is definitely on their radar for future plans, but both expressed a desire to leave some breathing room before heading back to the zombie genre. After all, George A. Romero waited a full decade after Night of the Living Dead to direct Dawn of the Dead, and look what happened – we ended up with two incredible classic horror movies that changed the face of horror forever. If anyone knows how to time zombie sequels correctly, it's the Romeros.

Now on Shudder, Queens of the Dead sees a zombie apocalypse break out in Brooklyn on the night of a giant warehouse party, where an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies must put aside their drama and use their unique skills to fight against the undead.
