Night of the Living Dead is one of the most influential movies of all time, though it is most often felt in unrelated works that continue to explore the zombie- powered ideas it popularized. There will be a direct link between the new project and the classic.
The director of Nanny, which hits Prime Video this week, is making a sequel to Night of the Living Dead with Amazon poised to pick up worldwide distribution. LaToya Morgan is known for her work on The Walking Dead. The project is intended to reignite Night of the Living Dead as a franchise, according to the trade which had the scoop on the project.
Night of the Living Dead already has a perfect sequel in 1978's Dawn of the Dead, and this all sounds promising, but we wouldn't recommend it if you didn't know that. We're looking forward to seeing Jusu's point of view on a genre that could use some fresh, uh, brains working on it.
