The ‘Night of the Living Dead’ 4K Restoration Gets an Official Poster
“Closer than anything we’ve seen to the definitive version of the film.” – George A. Romero.
As we told you over the summer, Janus Films has acquired the Museum of Modern Art and The Film Foundation’s 4K restoration of the late George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead for theatrical distribution.
Throughout the month of October, the restoration is hitting the road and stopping off in several cities across the United States, and we’ve just gotten our hands on the official poster art for the limited theatrical release.
It comes courtesy of artist Sean Phillips, and you’ll find it below!
“What we have now, for good or for bad, is exactly what I shot,” Romero said of the digital restoration just last year. “This is closer than anything we’ve seen to the definitive version of the film. It’s in the right format, 1.33:1, and that’s never been seen before either.”
To see the full listing of dates & locales, head over to the Janus Films website!
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
