Night of the Living Dead : Origins

zeb100509Ok corpses listen up. This is the most exciting movie news I’ve heard in HOURS! IF you venture on over to bloody-disgusting.com you can read up on an interview with the upcoming “Night of the Living Dead: Origins” director Zeb de Soto.

NOTLD: Origins revolves around the back stories of the original characters from George A. Romeros original Night of the Living Dead such as Cooper and Barbara. Each of the characters had a story to tell of the Zombie uprising, and Origins intends to delve into those stories and put them up on the big screen. As well, the movie will be entirely in 3D digital animation style described by de Soto as a “Living painting”. See the screenshot for his meaning.

After reading this interview, I am VERY excited to see how this movie pans out. I’m a big fan of the NOTLD original, but I’ve always wanted more back story on the origin of the outbreak itself. That and the character backgrounds puts this movie at the top of my list for upcoming Zombie flicks that I have to see before I die.
