OMFG of the Day: Old Negatives Discovered from ‘Dawn of the Dead’ Shoot!
Being an avid horror fan there’s nothing more special than the discovery of long-lost “artifacts”. We were contacted today by photographer Richard Burke who writes in with info on new behind-the-scenes photography from the set of George A. Romero’s 1978 Dawn of the Dead! “My name is Richard Burke and in 1978 I had a small photography studio in Pittsburgh. I was assigned to take pictures of the filming of the Dawn of the Dead by Pittsburgh Magazine and recently I rediscovered the old negatives and have been scanning them. Most of them have never been seen. I have been posting the better images to my commercial site. The others I have been posting to my blog.” Take a peak at a young Romero and Tom Savini below.
Jennifer Holland (“Peacemaker”) and Dave Annable (“Lioness”) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural Civil War thriller Brine, Deadline reports this afternoon.
B.J. Golnick (“Hunting Hitler”) will be directing Brine.
Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands.
When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.
Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls), and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks) also star. The screenplay was written by B.J. Golnick and Jeremy Miller.
“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick previews.
“We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”
