Most horror fans can agree that Tom Savini's 1990 remake of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is a damn fine remake, but the film didn't quite achieve Savini's vision for the film from the offset. “The movie is about forty percent of what I intended. It would be a much better movie if I had got to put in all the stuff I really wanted to do," Savini once said.
If you've ever found yourself wanting to know what Savini's full vision for the film was, you may be interested in picking up a copy of Night of the Living Dead 1990: The Unseen Version when it's released later this year. The paperback book was announced this morning by Happy Cloud Media. Through storyboard art, annotated by Savini himself, the book will feature the film's planned vision.
"Disappointingly, for one reason or another, many of Savini’s most outrageous sequences were left unfilmed and unrealized. Now, for the first time, fans of the film can see for themselves the director’s unique vision for Night of the Living Dead 1990.
Happy Cloud Media, LLC is proud to announce the upcoming publication of Mr. Savini’s storyboards as realized by artist Brad Hunter, never before available in their entirety, and thoroughly annotated by the director himself.
Accompanied throughout by rare behind-the-scenes set photos, Night of the Living Dead 1990: The Unseen Version will be a valued addition to any horror fan’s bookshelf. A rare glimpse into the work done prior to the cameras rolling, before the first actor is cast, there is the script, the director, and the ideas.”
Night of the Living Dead 1990: The Unseen Version will be available October 2019.
