Upcoming Horror Sequels You Didn’t Know Were In The Works
A new film from legendary director George A. Romero might be the last thing anyone would expect to hit theaters in the near future, given that the influential zombie movie auteur died in 2017… but it makes too much sense for an unfinished screenplay from the creator of “Night of the Living Dead” to rise from the grave.
Romero was working on the script for “Twilight of the Dead,” the seventh film in his “Living Dead” series and meant as his final statement on the genre he popularized, when he passed away. In 2021, his widow Suzanne announced plans to finish the script in collaboration with Joe Knetter, Robert L. Lucas, and original co-writer Paolo Zelati. She told The Hollywood Reporter, “This is the film he wanted to make. And while someone else will carry the torch as the director, it is very much a George A. Romero film.”
Two years later, in 2023, Brad Anderson signed on as the new director. He planned to shoot the film as soon as the SAG-AFTRA strike ended, though no news on the production has been announced since then.
