ShockTillYouDrop.com reports that Danielle Harris (Halloween II) has been cast as Barbara in the 3D CGI pic Night of the Living Dead: Origins.
The film, to be directed by newcomer Zebediah de Soto and produced by Simon West and Simon West Productions president Jib Polhemus, will be an origin story without the involvement of George A. Romero.
De Soto, who wrote the script with David R. Schwartz, wants to update the tale partially by bringing out the characters’ backstories and make what he called “an American-style anime.”
