New Photos & More Shamble In for Night of the Living Dead: Rebirth
You all love Night of the Living Dead, right? I mean who doesn’t? But there have been an absolute bounty of films that have come out with the Night of the Living Dead name, and sadly many have missed the mark, but will Roger Conners’ Night of the Living Dead: Rebirth fit the bill? Head on down below for a slew of photos courtesy of their official Facebook page and see what you think.
We have also scored the first official clip and a promotional featurette for you guys to check out too, so let us know what you think of this one so far. For me, this one looks highly promising, so I’m holding out that we may actually get a sweet little update to Romero’s original classic.
The film stars Aswan Harris, Roger Conners, Alvin Hudson, Rachel Anderson, Bradley Arner, Taylor Nelms, and RJ Messenger.
Synopsis: What begins as an annual visit to their family gravesite quickly becomes a night of sheer terror as two brothers are unexpectedly forced to fight back against a sudden onslaught of violent assailant. Soon, eight complete strangers find themselves barricaded inside a rural farmhouse in an attempt to survive against the ever-growing army of murderous creatures outside.
As the night drags on, they soon begin to realize that the real threat is not what’s trying to get inside.
It’s each-other.
Not so much a remake as it is a modern-day retelling of the ground-breaking horror masterpiece, Rebirth will attempt to tackle the human and political topics the original piece is so recognized for and readdress them from a modern angle. Topics acknowledged in the original film such as racial prejudices and government control will be once again brought to the forefront while interjecting the ideas of homophobia and religious influence on modern society.
