Night of the living dead coming to 3-D

Remember the early 90’s ‘update’ to George Romero’s classic Night of the living dead ? There were actually 2 updates done one in which the film was colorized for those not into the black and white thing and the other completely remade with a different cast which included candymans Tony Todd.  Now comes word that the colored version of the film is being set for a revamp as the film is getting the 3-D treatment!  Passamore Labs are updating the film for a home video release and hopefull limited theatrical release.

Recently Greg Passamore of passamore labs spoke with the 3-D devoted blog marketsaw and released some details on the film:

MarketSaw: Hi Greg – wow! 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.

MarketSaw: What sort of distribution have you come up with for the movie?
GP: Originally it was slated for VOD and 3D DVD. 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.
