Nikyatu Jusu’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’ sequel has found its home at MGM.
It was announced in October that Night of the Living Dead would get a sequel shambling our way, directed by Nikyatu Jusu . Now, the project has an official distributor--MGM has acquired the worldwide rights, according to a story in Deadline.
The sequel will be on the heels of Jusu’s directorial debut, Nanny, the first horror film to win Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize.
This sequel looks to give the franchise new life, a franchise started by the zombie godfather George A. Romero. A question of if the zombies will be slow or if they will be fast-moving zombies, a la Zack Snyder’s remake of Dawn of the Dead, remains to be seen, but zombies are, of course, another common factor in zombie films.Night of the Living Dead was created by Romero and released in 1968.
There is no official release date for the sequel. Keep an eye on Collider for more details as they come out.
