Do diaries have chapters?

In early September, I mentioned this:

Romero told an interviewer in Toronto that if the film is a hit, the Weinsteins will ask him to work on another Diary chapter.

This may have been too specific a claim. George Romero's Diary of the Dead doesn't even have a release date yet, let alone hit status, but the sequel is already in the works, with shooting planned for the spring.

Very little info on this - particular since I'm trying to avoid the spoilery sentences in all the press clippings, describing the end of the first film - but more news as it develops.

Since info is so light, it's a good time to correct an earlier point. As mentioned in my initial Diary post, the movie was picked up at the Toronto Film Festival by The Weinstein Company, who have an exclusive rental agreement with Blockbuster. However, I've since realized that the Weinstein Company's Blockbuster exclusives are in fact available through not only Netflix, but my local mom 'n pop video stores as well, as is totally kosher through U.S. first-sale doctrine.

The Weinsteins are guarding against this by providing some exclusive content for certain Blockbuster rental versions, as opposed to the retail copies which the other outlets use. Bobby carries a twenty-minute Robert F. Kennedy documentary, for instance, and additional featurettes or scenes can be found on Miss Potter, Arthur and the Invisibles, Factory Girl, and Hannibal Rising, among others.

Not all of the Blockbuster exclusives have any exclusive material at all, so Romero-loving (and Argento-loving, for when the Weinsteins release The Third Mother/Mother of Tears) Blockbuster-haters like yours truly will have to hope for a lackluster exclusive edition.
