Synopsis

Twilight of the Living Dead will take the franchise to a tropical island as humanity’s final days draw near. Sources say it will “delve into the dark nature of humanity from the perspective of the last humans on earth who are caught between factions of the undead.” Further details about the film have been hard to come by, but John Baldecchi, the Head of Scripted at producer Roundtable Entertainment Holdings, has assured it will be a fitting end to Romero’s long and winding franchise that includes six titles thus far and multiple spin-offs and adjacent projects stemming back to 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. He has similarly described it as a story all about humanity’s tendency to bring about its own destruction and how the survivors grapple with that reality.

Information

Roundtable’s Sarah Donnelly was excited to bring Jovovich back to the genre at long last alongside Gabriel, who also boasts turns in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and Upgrade.

“We’re thrilled to share Milla Jovovich’s return to the zombie genre in this fresh and original way with Twilight of the Dead,” she said. “With Brad’s masterful, visionary direction and Milla’s unique ability to command the screen as a Bona fide action star with emotional depth and resiliency, there’s no doubt this film will be a riveting, compelling standout in the genre.”

“I see this film in the same way as successful post-apocalyptic thrillers such as I Am Legend, A Quiet Place, The Road, and The Last of Us—genre stories that are as emotional as they are intense,” Anderson said. “When I first read Twilight of The Dead I teared up at the end. Which is weird for a film of this type. But it has that kind of pull, that combo of horror and heartbreak that I love.”
