Another 3D ‘Night of the Living Dead’
Fun fact: when your movie accidentally slipped into the public domain, as did George Romero’s original ‘Night of the Living Dead’, you can’t stop people from remaking it any way they see fit.
Bonus fun fact: thanks to ‘Avatar’, 3D movies are here to stay, and thanks to the bizarre financial success of ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife”, bad 3D Zombie bashing movies probably are too. Thus we have this news:
Andrew Divoff To Kill Zombies in NotLD3D: Resurrection
So apparently Andrew Divoff (he’s from some show called Lost that you probably have never heard of, but more importantly is from the movies The Dead Matter and Wishmaster) will be slaying some undead in the near future! He’s had a bit of experience in horror films (and that unheard of TV show) to probably pull off the acting bit. Still though – a notld remake in 3D? We tried that in 2006 and as much as we try to forget that it happened – IT HAPPENED! On the upside thanks to the director of everyone’s favorite film (Titanic of course) director James Cameron we have new 3D cameras! So if that new tech is used it could at least be somewhat visually appealing.
Anti-Zombie movie? Check. Derived shamelessly from previous intellectual property series? Check. Superfluous subtitle? Check. 3D gimmickry? Check. All systems are go! The only thing it’s missing (thank goodness for small favors) is Milla herself.
Who’s going to handle the smirking in this movie if not her? Oh, it just won’t be the same.
