Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection

   I'm sure that anyone who has any familiarity with the horror and or zombie genre, recognizes the man pictured to the left. Frankly, if you're on this site, chances are you instantly knew i was talking about the one and only George A. Romero. Best know for revolutionizing the zombie genre, George has been keeping himself busy recently with a new project called Deep Red (no information at this time) as well as voice acting for the Call of Duty: Black-ops add-on Call of the Dead. Most recently, George directed yet another followup to his original Night of the Living Dead (1968) called Survival of the Dead, the 6th dead movie. But none of this would be possible were it not for that first low budget masterpiece. Now-a-days, the original Night of the Living Dead is under public domain, meaning anyone can use that movie and redistribute it, edit it, remake it or whatever. This has worked some times, creating phenomenal, blockbuster successes, and other times, spawning crappy, unwanted sequels, responses, and remakes. But with every coal mine, you're bound to find a diamond at some point.  Enter North Bank Entertainment, Independant Moving Pictures, and Mad Science Films.
  Banding together, these three companies have been working on a British remake of George's original 1968 Night of the Living Dead. To be honest, the only remake I've seen of this movie was the one made in 1990 and while it was a great movie, it was almost the exact same as the original. Personally, i appreciate when a movie is remade and stays true to the original, but, as a viewer, I'm looking for something a little different. In the synopsis of resurrection, it gives me the feeling that this will turn out to be one of those remakes that finds the sweet spot between staying true to your roots and making a name for yourself. I mean, just by the look of the newly released teaser poster, it gives me high hopes for the future of not only the Night of the Living Dead franchise, but the furthurment of the zombie genre as well. Principal photography for the movie will begin on 9/24/11 in South Wales, UK.

As academics speculate on the scientific cause of the phenomena, theologians point to the Armageddon foretold in the Book of Revelation. As the cities are over run and civilization crumbles, a family take refuge from the undead army in an isolated farmhouse in West Wales. But the greatest threat is already among them."
