Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection Acquired for US Distribution

Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection is a film we started hearing about last summer, which puts a British spin on the George Romero's classic. We now have word that the film has been acquired for US distribution:

Via Andy Erupts: “Grindstone Entertainment Group has acquired North American distribution rights to 'Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection' and will release the film through Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Based on the 1968 zombie classic, the story focuses on four generations of a British family trapped in a farmhouse in Wales during a zombie apocalypse.

North Bank Entertainment’s Andrew Jones produced the film, with Independent Moving Pictures’ Robert Graham and Manish Patel as Executive Producers. James Plumb, of Mad Science Films, directed and also co-wrote the script with Jones. The cast includes British actor Sule Rimi ('Panic Button', 'Elfie Hopkins') in the iconic role of Ben. Producer Andrew Jones and Grindstone’s Stan Wertlieb made the deal.”

Synopsis: "In 2012,the deceased have risen from their graves with only one instinct-to feed on the living. As academics speculate on the scientific cause of the phenomena, theologians point to the Armageddon foretold in the Book of Revelation. As the cities are over run and civilization crumbles, a family take refuge from the undead army in an isolated farmhouse in West Wales. But the greatest threat is already among them."
