<P> Starting in 2015, and working from the original camera negatives and audio track elements, a 4K digital restoration of Night of the Living Dead was undertaken by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and The Film Foundation . The fully restored version was shown at MoMA in November 2016 as part of To Save and Project: The 14th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation . This same restoration was released on Blu - ray by Criterion Collection on February 13, 2018 . </P> <P> Night of the Living Dead is the first of six...of the Dead films directed by George Romero . Following the 1968 film, Romero released Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead . Each film traces the evolution of the living dead epidemic in the United States and humanity's desperate attempts to cope with it . As in Night of the Living Dead, Romero peppered the other films in the series with critiques specific to the periods in which they were released . </P> <P> The same year Day of the Dead premiered, Night of the Living Dead co-writer John Russo released a film titled The Return of the Living Dead that offers an alternate continuity to the original film than Dawn of the Dead . Russo's film spawned four sequels . Return of the Living Dead sparked a legal battle with Romero, who believed Russo marketed his film in direct competition with Day of the Dead as a sequel to the original film . In the case Dawn Associates v. Links, Romero accused Russo of "appropriat (ing) part of the title of the prior work", plagiarizing Dawn of the Dead's advertising slogan ("When there is no more room in hell (...) the dead will walk the earth"), and copying stills from the original 1968 film . Romero was ultimately granted a restraining order that forced Russo to cease his advertising campaign . Russo, however, was allowed to retain his title . </P> <P> George Cameron Romero, the son of director George A. Romero, has developed Rise of the Living Dead, a prelude to his father's classic pitched with the working title Origins . The film tracks a six - year period leading up to the story told by his father . George Cameron Romero's script is intended to be an homage to his father's work, a terrifying glimpse into the political hot bed that was the mid-to - late 1960s and a bookend piece to his father's original story . Despite raising funds for the film on Indiegogo in 2014, the film has yet to go into production as of November 2017 . </P>
