Spain Acquires rights to 3D Version of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
Share on FacebookNIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is available in about 67 different forms on DVD. There's the version with new footage; the one with the Chinese subtitles; the Millenium copy (by far the best, given its wealth of extras); two different discs with commentaries by MSTK3 guys; and a few color versions.
And now, those of you who live in Spain are soon to get the colorized, 3D version with Spanish subtitles, according to Variety. In theatres no less.
It seems Xpand has acquired this version from Passmore Lab in San Diego. Notice I didn't mention anything about Xpand paying Romero or any of the others involved in making the original film. I'll spare you the angst I get every time this comes up with NIGHT and the phrase "public domain."
Now, why anyone would need a colorized, 3D version of NOTLD, I really can't say. But Spanish subtitles? Pretty cool. Unfortunately, the trailer below doesn't include them, so I still don't know how to say "You're ignorant!" in Espanol. Oh well.
