The last time I gave a GEORGE ROMERO’S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD update, it was to inform you kids that the flick is getting a MARCH 15th DVD release in the U.K. (which has obviously gone George Romero crazy). In an unusual turn of events, it would seen that the plan for its U.S. release is much different.
Fangoria is reporting SURVIVAL will actually his Video OnDemand here in the States on APRIL 30th, leading up to a theatrical debut on MAY 28th. It’s quite similar to how Magnolia Pictures distributed Ti West’s HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, which hit VOD on October 1st, theaters on Halloween.
So there you have it – GEORGE ROMERO’S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD will unfold this spring (although in the movie industry, late May is most definitely summer).
Like its predecessors, GEORGE A. ROMERO’S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth, relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island – a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided: the O’Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept “alive” until a cure is found. The result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic Western stand-off that erupts in brutality and violence.
The flick stars Devon Bostick, Athena Karkanis, Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Julian Richings, and Kenneth Welsh.
