Night of the Living Dead Remake (Vivica A. Fox)

[Himmel]

Bloody Disgusting learned ahead of the American Film Market that CineTel Films has tapped Christopher Ray to direct the latest remake of Night of the Living Dead, this one to star Kill Bill fav Vivica A. Fox, who will be taking on the lead role originally played by Duane Jones in Romero’s masterwork.

In the latest remake, “Amidst a worldwide event where the dead awake and roam the earth as zombies, a small group of human survivors struggle to stay alive and fight off the wandering zombies who are intent on eating them and turning them into the Walking Dead.

The next Night of the Living Dead is currently in development for a 2021 shoot. (×)

Every zombie movie after the 60s is basically a remake of Night of the Living Dead.

I like Vivica A. Fox, but if she is the lead in a movie, then it must be direct to TV. Is this a SyFy movie?

Hopefully better than AWEFUL pile of crap NOTLD 3D. This doesn't need a remake.

That's like saying every slasher movie is basically a remake of Halloween....

1. Looks bad
2. Wonder if it'll try to have the same social commentary ("oh noes woke and broke")
3. I'm still going to watch it.

Fixed.

Basically, every remake of Night of the Living Dead gets gorier and boobier: not necessarily better (which I believe is a difficult task even without the boobs).

The 90's remake is good for only one reason. Tony Todd.

That's the ONLY reason I want to see it.

So are they going back in time to get 1996 Vivica Fox, because she doesn’t look like that poster image anymore.

Psycho is barely a slasher film. Everything that the genre would become was in Carpenter's film, not Hitchcock's.

Vivica gotta pay them bills

My point is, zombie movies (pretty much everything) nowadays basically features the Romero zombies. With some alterations here and there, but zombies before Night of the Living Dead was a completely different thing.

A better example would be "if every slasher movie was titled Halloween". I'm not really seeing anything here suggesting that it really is a remake outside of the title. There has been several fake sequels/prequels/remake but only one true remake.

That poster looks like a porn parody. Poor Vivica.

Well, that and everything else.

NGL, the 1990 remake is much better than the original.

[storythecorgi]

Vivica will just take any project thrown at her, huh?

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

How many times is this gonna be remade?

Can people not think of their own ideas? Especially since like i said this has been remade.

Not today Satan.
