‘Night Of The Living Dead : Rebirth’ Is Coming To Get You…

Writer/director Roger Conners’ has been quietly making a reboot of George A. Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead. In fact, the movie is already half through filming and he plans to wrap up in May. Conners is aiming to make the modern version of the 1968 zombie movie. Conners is making some big changes to the original Romero script, including changing the sex of some characters and even the sexual orientation of others, for instance in ‘Rebirth’ Barbra is a man. This indie zombie movie stars Aswan Harris, Rachel Anderson, Alvin Hudson, Bradley Arner, RJ Messenger and Taylor Nelms. I have a feeling this movie won’t be received well by a lot of the fans of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, but who knows, it may bring a new group of horror fans into the zombie genre.
