Get ready for the final installment of George Romero’s Dead franchise.
The George A. Romero estate is teaming up with L.A.-based financier-producer Roundtable on the “seventh and final installment” of the seminal Living Dead franchise, according to a report on Deadline.
Romero had written a treatment for the movie prior to his passing in 2017 and he regarded Twilight of the Dead as the conclusion to his epic saga.
Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and Betty Gabriel (Get Out) have signed on star in Twilight of the Dead, the next feature from The Call and The Machinist director Brad Anderson.
Director Anderson explained: “I see this film in the same way as successful post-apocalyptic thrillers such as I Am Legend, A Quiet Place, The Road and The Last of Us — genre stories that are as emotional as they are intense. When I first read Twilight of The Dead, I teared up at the end. Which is weird for a film of this type. But it has that kind of pull, that combo of horror and heartbreak that I love.”
“It is with great pleasure to work with my partners at Roundtable to finally get the last of George A. Romero’s The Dead canon out to the fans,” said Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, Romero’s widow and founder of the George A. Romero Foundation. “It’s what the fans have longed for, and with Brad Anderson at the helm it will be sensational.”
Roundtable Entertainment’s Sarah Donnelly added: “We’re thrilled to share Milla Jovovich’s return to the zombie genre in this fresh and original way with Twilight of the Dead. With Brad’s masterful, visionary direction and Milla’s unique ability to command the screen as a bona fide action star with emotional depth and resiliency, there’s no doubt this film will be a riveting, compelling standout in the genre.”
