As it turns out, Barbara’s dress was blue.

Partially due to the incredibly small budget at his disposal, George A. Romero shot game-changing debut feature Night of the Living Dead on 35mm black and white film; “I always felt that [with] black and white, the blood looked more real,” the late Romero commented a couple years back, noting that the decision wasn’t merely financial.

Of course, Night of the Living Dead has been crudely colorized in the past for home video releases, but we’ll never truly see what the film would’ve looked like had Romero shot it in color. Which is why these behind the scenes photos that came to our attention over the weekend, in bright and beautiful full color, are truly special.

Fan Don Swaynos tweeted out a few color photos from the set of Night of the Living Dead the other day, which inspired us to dig for a couple more. Like Don noted in his tweet, the photos are somewhat mind-blowing, as we’ve only ever seen these characters, and this fictional world, in black and white.

Wonderful find, Don!

Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.

The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.

“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”

John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.

“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”

Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.

Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
