"Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3-D" is the story of a group of survivors fighting to stay alive when a mysterious plague unleashes the undead on New York City.
"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," producer Simon West said in a statement.
The movie will be shot completely in a computer-generated setting, using stereoscopic 3-D, the filmmakers said in a news release, adding it "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."
No release date for the film has been announced.
