The son of director George Romero, Cameron Romero, is moving forward with his Night of the Living Dead origin film, which is apparently simply being called Origins.
The original Night of the Living Dead movie was released back in 1968, and the story follows seven people trapped in a rural farmhouse attacked by zombies. It was made on a budget of $140,000 and made over $30 million world wide. It’s a cult classic, and it spawned the zombie film genre.
The story for the origin film was developed by Cameron Romero, who is also set to direct from a screenplay he wrote with Darrin Reed and Bryce C. Campbell.
The project is set at the height of the Cold War, when one scientist tried to give the world its best hope for survival and instead unleashed its worst nightmare.

In George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, they watched the TV intently, wanting to know why the dead were walking just outside their boarded-up windows. Now, more than 45 years later, George’s son Cameron looks to explore the definitive answer to that question in Origins. A partially crowdfunded prequel to Night of the Living Dead, Origins now has another backer in Radar Pictures.
Variety reports that Radar Pictures will produce Cameron Romero’s Origins with production slated to begin this year. Cameron Romero (who, like his father, has an extensive background in making commercials and has also directed six feature films) will direct Origins off a screenplay he wrote with Darrin Reed and Bryce C. Campbell:

Lifetime Films and A+E Studios have joined with JuVee Productions and ChickFlicks to produce "Lila and Eve," a new film from "Drumline" director Charles Stone III. The feature will star Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez and will tell the story of grief-stricken mother Lila (Davis), who, after her son is murdered in a drive-by shooting, begins attending a support group where she meets Eve (Lopez), who lost her daughter. When the police seem unable to help, the two women end up taking justice into their own hands -- not through the activism you might expect from this initial set-up, but by killing their way up the ladder of drug dealers responsible for the death of Lila's son. "Boardwalk Empire" actor Shea Whigham will play the detective investigating the pair's crimes. "Lila and Eve" is written by Pat Gilfillan and will be produced by Sara Risher and Darrin Reed. Davis...

And just what is a “Renaissance Man” anyway? No, I’m not referring to the Voyager episode and I’m also not talking about the Penny Marshall film. In this context, the term Renaissance Man is defined as a person who excels at many different endeavors: the guy can do a lot of stuff and he does it all quite well. Such a one is the subject of this interview.
Larry Blamire first came across my radar when he and I were both living in Hollywood. I was at a private screening in the home of a friend of mine and he rolled a film called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. I was transfixed. What a delightful way to spend some time; laughing yourself silly. I immediately found a way to contact this man as I wanted to know what makes him tick.
It’s now years later and,...
