George A. Romero’s final zombie story is officially one step closer to becoming a reality! Twilight of the Dead has FINALLY finished filming, nearly a decade after Romero’s passing — and now the big question is: Will this actually live up to Romero’s legacy?
In this video, I’m talking about the latest Twilight of the Dead update, including the completion of filming, the current cast, the Paz Brothers taking over directing duties, and the involvement of legendary effects artist Greg Nicotero, who has a very personal connection to Romero’s zombie universe. (AV Club)
But while I’m excited to finally see this movie happen, I also have some BIG concerns.
This isn’t a George A. Romero-directed movie. The project has gone through major changes over the years, including changes to the director and lead actress. And while the story originated from Romero’s work, other writers and filmmakers have helped bring it to the screen.
So can Twilight of the Dead actually capture the spirit, social commentary, atmosphere, and practical horror that made Romero’s Dead movies so special?
Or are we looking at a movie that simply carries the George A. Romero name?
I’m breaking down what we currently know, what I’m hoping this movie delivers, what worries me, and why I still REALLY want this to be great.
After Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead, could Twilight finally give us the conclusion Romero envisioned?
🔥 What are YOU expecting from Twilight of the Dead?
Are you excited? Concerned? Both?

I've been a fan since I first saw the original Night of the Living Dead when I was about 5 yrs old. It scared the heck outta my little child's brain. Just the thought of the dead ever encroaching upon the living and never stopping until they eat them, well that actually scared me.
A couple years later my older brother took me to see the remake of the original film that was directed by Tom Savini(another FX legend in his own right), who had worked with George on Dawn and Day of the Drad. His remake I feel is underrated. It scared me so much watching that movie in the theater and I was dead set on not letting my older bro know that I was absolutely terrified. I remember gripping the arm rests of the seat so tightly as I sat silent and terrified. I still told him afterwards that it didn't scare me. Lol. Though I know he knew I was. That night I slept with a blanket and pillow right next to my parents bedroom door. Lol
I hope this next installment is something special. Romero was true Master 👑 and I love his original trilogy so very much. Cheers to anyone who read this far!🍻
P.S. - R.I.P. Mr. Romero. Or come back if you want. If anyone deserves to come back from the dead, it is most certainly him.
Contrary to your point about caring about the people in a zombie film, I think this one may have the audience caring about the zombies!
