The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as George Romero’s son wants to create an origin to the zombies in the film that really started it all, ‘Night of the Living Dead’. In his take on the film, ‘Night of the Living Dead: Origins’ he would push forward to create how it all truly happened and what was responsible for the outbreak in Romero’s world.
It helps I’m sure that they are partnered with Bloody-Disgusting for the project but they are looking for crowdfunding on their Indiegogo which you can sign on for right here.
Synopsis:
Origins takes place in the Turmoil of the 1960’s just shortly before “Night of the Living Dead”, and explains how The ‘Original’ Romero Zombie was created.
In 1962, Dr. Ryan Cartwright was on the scientific and altruistic path to find a way for humans to sustain life in the event of M.A.D (Mutual Assured Destruction), a huge topic brought on by the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Little did he know that over the course of the next several years of his life, he would take a well-funded and military focused journey to the darkest corners of the world… as he creates the ultimate weapon for the government and a curse that will plague mankind for the rest of days.
What Origins IS:
Terrifying
Original
Believable
Aware of what made the Romero Zombies so special and award winning
Respectful of those who have loved the Romero brand and George’s Zombies
What Origins IS NOT:
‘Standard Zombie Trope’
Mediocre talent that overacts
Too much emphasis on gore
Full of eventful ‘cliffhangers’ to sell TV commercials and DVD box sets.
