George Romero Appeared in a NFL Documentary “Night of the Living Steelers”
So, we missed this because it’s not something that usually comes across our radar but George A. Romero, the father of zombies, appeared on the second episode of the NFL documentary series “The Timeline” in a program titled “Night of the Living Steelers”. The episode examined, “…the similar legacies of filmmaker George Romero’s classic zombie films and the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers.”
The documentary features interviews with Romero and examines how Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead became icons of Pittsburgh, mirroring the success of the Steelers during the same era. Furthermore, it investigates and revisits four films that Romero made for a series called “The Winners” that focused on the Steelers: Franco Harris: Good Luck on Sunday, The Steel Curtain, Terry Bradshaw: Thank God I’m a Country Boy, and I’m Back: The Rocky Bleier Story.
The program also interviewed “Mean” Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Art Rooney II, Art Rooney, JR., and Rocky Bleier.
Although the program already aired, there is a trailer that can be seen below and we’ll try to keep our ears open for a potential rerun! And if you want more information, there is an official press release over at NFL.com.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
