A trailer has been released for a new animated adaption of George A. Romero’s zombie classic ‘Night of the Living Dead’; titled ‘Night Of The Animated Dead’. Presented by The Long Game in association with Hemisphere Entertainment & Warner Bros Home Entertainment.
In 1968, filmmaker George A. Romero unleashed the zombie genre with Night of the Living Dead, a low-budget sensation that remains as relevant today as it was decades ago.
The filmmaker went on to direct five more zombie features, including Dawn of the Dead (1978), Day of the Dead (1985) and Land of the Dead (2005). What few knew was that before he died of lung cancer at 77 in 2017, Romero was quietly developing Twilight of the Dead, a concluding chapter intended to be his final statement on the genre.
Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero, father of the modern movie zombie and creator of the groundbreaking Night of the Living Dead franchise, has died age 77.
