First Images from UK ‘Night of the Living Dead’ Sequel
North Bank Entertainment, the UK production company behind Ruggero Deodato’s forthcoming The House on the Edge of the Park Part II, has teamed up with Independent Moving Pictures and Mad Science Films to produce Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection, a British version of the 1968 horror classic.
The film will be produced by Andrew Jones and is the debut feature of director James Plumb, who has previously helmed a number of award winning short films. The script has been co-written by James Plumb and Andrew Jones.
Principal photography began on September 24th, 2011. The film will be shot on location in Carmarthenshire, Swansea and Cardiff in South Wales, UK. Check out some of the first ever images below.
“In 2012 the deceased have risen from their graves with only one instinct: to feed on the living. As academics speculate on the scientific cause of the phenomena, theologians point to the Armageddon foretold in the Book of Revelation. As the cities are overrun and civilization crumbles, a family take refuge from the undead army in an isolated farmhouse in West Wales. But the greatest threat is already among them.”
