If you want to see some classic zombies in all three dimensions, well you're in luck.
Marketsaw posted an interview with Greg Passmore of San Diego's Passmore Labs, where he revealed his company is converting the colorized version of
Night of the Living Dead to 3-D. Here's a brief segment of the interview below.
Hi Greg - wow!
Night of the Living Dead is one of my all time favorites! How did you come to the decision to convert NOLD to 3D?
GP: I really love the film Jim. When I started talking about it around the office, much to my surprise, I found lots of other people here who also love the film. It just seemed like a natural. Legend has, by far, the best copy and colorization of the film. I pestered Legend for months to get them to agree to let us do it.
MarketSaw: What sort of distribution have you come up with for the movie?
GP: Originally it was slated for VOD and 3D DVD. We have found some strong interest in European distribution and maybe even limited theatrical in the US. Ultimately however, the film is destined primarily for home entertainment.

THE REASON I ASK THIS IS BACK IN 2006, "Night of the Living Dead" was Re-Made already into 3-D....Yeah the film sucked (I saw it in theateres!!!) ad the 3-D needed work, but hell this has already been done!!

Night of the Living Dead 3D is a 2006 horror film made in 3-D. It is the second remake of the 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead. The first was released in 1990 and was directed by Tom Savini from a revised screenplay by George A. Romero. Unlike the first remake, no one involved with the original is involved with this new version. The original film was never properly copyrighted, and so it has fallen into the public domain, making this remake possible with no permission from the original's creators (The original movie can actually be seen playing on TV in this version). It was released on DVD on October 9th, 2007 in 2 separate versions, the original 3D format which includes 4 pairs of Red/Blue 3D glasses, and a 2D version that does not require nor include any 3D glasses.
