The ‘Living Dead’ franchise started all the way back in 1968.
The Big Picture Zombies are commonplace nowadays with shows like The Walking Dead and films like Train to Bursan. However, back in the late 1960s director George A. Romero redefined the fleshy sub-genre with Night of the Living Dead. Now 55 years later, reported exclusively by The Hollywood Reporter, Romero’s final Living Dead film, Twilight of the Dead, has found its director in Brad Anderson .
In a statement Anderson expressed his excitement saying, “George Romero’s 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead may have been the first real horror movie I ever saw and its shock value, its keen social relevance, and even the means by which it was made were all hugely inspirational to me.
The Undead Legacy of ‘Living Dead’ Ever since Romero’s death in 2017, it felt like the zombie sub-genre went with him. Night of the Living Dead was the haunting template for practical guts and gore. The sequels to follow, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, are two of the most grotesque films of all-time. That was thanks to the practical efforts of legendary makeup artist Tom Savini who put on a dreadful clinic for blood-soaked dismemberment and carnage.
When Does 'Twilight of the Dead' Release? There’s no current release date or window for Twilight of the Dead yet. This makes sense as cameras haven’t even started rolling on the horror project yet. Production is expected to start on the seventh and final film later this year.
