Zombies in 3D

MarketSaw have revealed that Romero's Night of the Living Dead is to be reinvented in a 3D format.

In an exclusive interview on their blog with Greg Passmore of Passmore Lab in San Diego (2D to 3D conversion experts) they scooped all the details about the project.

"MarketSaw: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is one of my all time favorites! How did you come to the decision to convert NOLD to 3D?

GP: I really love the film Jim. When I started talking about it around the office, much to my surprise, I found lots of other people here who also love the film. It just seemed like a natural. Legend has, by far, the best copy and colorization of the film. I pestered Legend for months to get them to agree to let us do it.
We have found some strong interest in European distribution and maybe even limited theatrical in the US. Ultimately however, the film is destined primarily for home entertainment."

Poor box office figures for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian has led to Disney bailing out of the third movie.

Walden Media will now have to find a new partner if the Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is to get it's May 2010 release.
