    The obvious question, has there been any contact with George Romero on this project, was he given any sort of offer to join the project somehow?

    What kind of role can we expect from Michale Graves, and what caused you to cast him?

  5. nightcreaturesfxJanuary 31, 2012 at 9:03 PM

    Yes, George has been in contact with this film, but not a part of the project

    Michale will be a member of the Ghoul Hunting Posse with the Sheriff. As a HUGE Fan of The Misfits..i couldn't pass up not getting him onboard

    George has simply stated that he did his version over 40 years ago, and to let us do our version. He has basically given us our blessing.

      nice. Ever heard of director Bruno Mattei (Spelling may be off) He directed many foreign zombie films such as Zombi & A Huge favorite of mine called "Hell of the living dead" aka "Night of the zombies" and if you know of him did you learn anything from him as in directing styles?

    If I do recall those zombies were look-a-likes. Not the actual celebrities. We will have some look-a-likes though for this film. Stay tuned! Chuck Norris would be an AWESOME idea though!

    H. Morris...never, ever give up! Work hard and stay focused. Find people with the same drive as you and a great team. Take your time and do it right. If you don't have passion, you have nothing. Also, stay away from film schools. Keep doing short films until you find your own style

    That's excellent. I've always appreciated Graves as an artist and I'm glad to see him get work wherever it is.

    How much is this of any original take on the "living dead mythos?" Is this just an update of Romero's film; or is it unique?

    As far as the film..it will be unique..as in it's not a straight remake. I didn't want to do a carbon copy. The beginning moments of the original doesn't happen until around the hour mark in our film

    Tom Savini?! haha.. will the general storyline and character outcome be similar to the original?

    ReplyDelete
  48. nightcreaturesfxJanuary 31, 2012 at 9:28 PM

    I Love that question, Nate. The best way I can answer it, is...they will be just as quick as the y were in the original. People seem to forget that the Ghouls were quick when they wanted to be in NOTLD 68...But, no...they will not be marathon runners, ala Dawn of The Dead Remake/28 Days/Weeks later

    ReplyDelete
  49. nightcreaturesfxJanuary 31, 2012 at 9:30 PM

    NO!!! No Tom Savini, lol. Yes the characters will all be in place, but we will know A LOT more about them in this one

  57. Savana.WehuntJanuary 31, 2012 at 9:42 PM

    I'm Here Matt. Nate, what is different with these zombies is that their instincts are more heightened now that they are the undead. I hate sprinter zombies because in real life the body after death wouldn't move with those movements. I am basing their movements off of similar movements that I learned from The Walking Dead. A zombie is similar to an animal in that it uses the senses to hunt and smell out their food. As food is more near they may pick up the pace and run in packs but not to a run or a sprint, they may use tools around them such as rocks (like in the original NOTLD) etc... Another concept I would like to implement with this production is that zombies never tire. A human after awhile of running would get tired but not the ghouls in the film, Same with trying to get into a building. Hope this gives you a little more insight on our Ghouls.

      For this film I am thinking they all have the same mentality unless they are feeding, nobody likes to share their brains. Sharing is not caring in zombie world!

      Delete
    5. nightcreaturesfxJanuary 31, 2012 at 9:50 PM

      all the same...we explore that there is something linking the Ghouls brains together...hence why you have to destroy the brain to stop them

    @Christy, we are shooting on DSLR, the same they shot the movie Chrome Skull:Laid to Rest part 2 on, and certain scenes of Iron Man 2.

    @Nate, yes...there will be about a 3 hour bonus dvd with the films release tentavely titled "Documenting the Dead"...a BTS look at everything.

    will NOTLD 2012 have more of a classic score or will there be a somewhat lack of ambient music letting the performance set mood

  67. nightcreaturesfxJanuary 31, 2012 at 10:00 PM

    @Christy, we will be calling for extras roughly around Late June/July. They can contact my assistant/V2 Pictures Secretary, Katie at V2Pictures@yahoo.com.

    @Nate, we are going for a very creepy score...ala John Carpenter
