When George Romero made Night of the Living Dead (1968), he had no idea that he’s launch a zombie revolution that would stretch around the world. He would later make Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). This seemed to be the trilogy people expected except 20 years later Romero’s zombie world would crawl up from the grave for Land of the Dead (2015). This would be his biggest production with major stars. Fighting the creatures were Simon Baker (The Mentalist), John Leguizamo (Romero + Juliet), Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider) and Asia Argento (XXX). There were even zombie cameos from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero. The film that showed up in theaters had to be toned down to get the R Rating. But George made sure the full cut was available on home video. Now that uncut version is going to look better than ever when Land of the Dead arrives on 4K UHD in October. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory with all the details:
