Now with this sequel being announced, either he hasn't received interest, or he is directing the sequel himself.
In terms of fandem, he always has that type of hardcore support. Which makes you wonder what the hell the studios are looking at.

Actually, he's got the backing and he's filming it right now. After the DOD remake made lots of money, a studio greenlighted "Land Of The Dead" and "Diamond Dead" right away. Unfortunately, Tom Savini won't be doing the FX, KNB will.
The DOD remake was pretty cool, it could have been an awesome zombie film with a change of title and a change of location.
