Madhavan (3 IDIOTS, 13B, TANU WEDS MANU) will star in the upcoming NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: ORIGINS 3D, which is a 3D re-imagining of George Romero’s classic horror film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
Directed by Zebediah De Soto and co-written by De Soto, Warren Davis II and David Reuben Schwartz, the film also stars veterans Tony Todd (CANDYMAN) and Tom Sizemore (BLACK HAWK DOWN), along with scream queen Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN), Sarah Habel (HOSTEL: PART III, Sydney Tamiia Poitier (GRINDHOUSE), Bill Mosley (TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D) and Joseph Pilato (PULP FICTION).

A new take on Romero’s 1968 original, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: ORIGINS 3D is the story of a group of survivors fighting to stay alive when a mysterious plague unleashes the undead on New York City. Barricaded in an abandoned apartment building, the characters from the original film face new terror and question each other’s compassion and sense of humanity as they fight to stay alive against the army of the living dead.
Shot completely in a CG setting using stereoscopic 3D, the film engages state-of-the-art facial capture technology that is a step beyond anything used before, as it becomes a hybrid of graphic novel and traditional animation.
Producer and CEO of 2020 Entertainment, Paresh Ghelani, says, “It’s great to help introduce American audiences to what the many fans of Bollywood films have known for years. Madhavan is a huge dynamic talent.”
Producer Simon West adds, “This movie represents a whole new way of visualizing the classic zombie genre. It has a fresh and exciting style that sets it apart from all other horror films seen up until now.”
