In case you’ve been living under a rock or haven’t been checking Urban Jacksonville’s sponsor area, THE TALKIES at San Marco Theatre is screening Night of the Living Dead in 35 mm this weekend.  In addition, and most importantly, director George Romero will be providing live commentary throughout the screening on February 2, 2008.

My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it’s a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy – Romero has been quoted as saying.

 
Romero is an American director, writer, editor and actor.  After graduating from Carnegie-Melon University, he and friends formed Image Ten Productions in the late 1960′s.  They chipped in roughly $10,000 apiece to produce Night of the Living Dead, one of the most celebrated American horror films of all time.

 

Look at that face and tell me you wouldn’t want to hang with him for a night!  Night of the Living Dead is playing February 1st at 11:55 p.m. and February 2nd at 9:30 p.m.  Visit www.thetalkies.net for ticket information.  A big thanks to THE TALKIES for always brangin’ it with awesome films and directors.  This gets me so excited for the Jacksonville Film Festival!
