Kate Beckinsale & Betty Gabriel Star in George A. Romero-Inspired Zombie Movie TWILIGHT OF THE DEAD

As filming has wrapped on "Twilight of the Dead", a zombie horror film billed as the "final chapter" of George A. Romero's classic saga, we now have more information about the project, which was first revealed in 2021.

The film is set on a decimated earth where the last vestiges of humanity are trapped between warring factions and an evolving undead threat. The story is based on a treatment for the movie penned by Romero before he passed in 2017, which he regarded as the conclusion to his epic saga, which consists of six movies and various spinoffs and remakes. The last movie was released in 2009.

Directed by The Paz Brothers aka Doron and Yoav Paz ("The Golem", "Plan A"), "Twilight of the Dead" stars Kate Beckinsale alongside Betty Gabriel ("Get Out"), Abigail London, Kurt Deimer, Phil Burke, Cooper Barnes, Tait Fletcher and John D. Hickman.

The production wrapped in Kentucky last month. Legendary special make-up effects creator Greg Nicotero "The Walking Dead", "Day Of The Dead") handled special effects. Paolo Zelati is producer, screenwriter and co-wrote the treatment alongside Romero.

John Baldecchi, Sarah Donnelly, and Dominic Ianno produce for Roundtable Entertainment in partnership with Suzanne Romero. Producers also include Bob Yari, Shaun Sanghani of SSS Entertainment, and George Furla.

Yari's Magenta Light Studios owns the North American rights and will distribute the film in theaters across the U.S. and Canada. The Syndicate handles international sales.

Brad Pitt to Star in WORLD WAR Z Sequel Directed by Edward Berger

Brad Pitt is set to return for the long-awaited "World War Z" sequel, which is being developed at Paramount. The new installment will be directed by Oscar-nominated "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Conclave" helmer Edward Berger, who recently directed Pitt in A24's "The Riders". The screenplay is written by Dennis Kelly ("Utopia", "The Third Day", "Black Sea").

Plot details for the sequel are being kept under wraps. Directed by Marc Forster, 2013's "World War Z" was loosely based on Max Brooks' bestselling 2006 novel "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War". It grossed $540.4 million at the global box office.

At CinemaCon in April, Paramount announced that a sequel was finally in active development. Throughout the years there have beeen many attempts to develop a sequel, including a version directed by David Fincher, which was scrapped in 2019.

The sequel will be produced by Berger alongside Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner via Plan B.

Pitt ca next be seen in David Ayer's survival thriller "Heart of the Beast", Netflix's "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth" directed by Fincher from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, and Berger's "The Riders", which wrapped filming earlier this year and is currently in post-production.

Waking from a coma in a deserted London hospital 28 days later, bicycle courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) takes to the deserted city streets in a state of mystified confusion. Joining forces with another group of survivors following a terrifying encounter in a seemingly abandoned church, Jim soon learns the truth behind the deserted streets and the menacing creatures that lurk in the shadows. It's soon revealed that the chimpanzees had been harboring a deadly virus that sends its victims into a furious, murderous rage, and in the days following the initial exposure, the entire population was nearly wiped out due to the resulting homicidal rampage. Is there still a glimmer of hope for humanity -- or has the deadly "rage" virus found its way to foreign shores and infected the entire planet?
