December 18, 2009 - Survival of the Dead / Magnolia Releasing acquired distribution of movie

Scooped on Friday, December 18, 2009

Magnolia Pictures' genre specialty branch Magnet Releasing will distribute Survival of the Dead in 2010. Full press release follows:

New York - December 18, 2009 - The Wagner/Cuban Companies' Magnet Releasing, genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, announced today that it has
acquired US rights to GEORGE A. ROMERO'S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, the latest in the legendary and beloved series of zombie films which bowed
at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals earlier this year. Romero, one of the most influential and respected horror auteurs of all time, has
created a new, terrifying vision that combines viscerally gory undead action with biting social commentary and a return to the black humor and
playfulness of his seminal film, Dawn of the Dead. Magnet will release the film as part of its Ultra VOD program this spring, debuting it on
VOD platforms nationwide a month before its theatrical release.

Like its predecessors, GEORGE A. ROMERO'S SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth,
relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island - a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to
maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided:
the O'Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept
"alive" until a cure is found. The result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic Western stand-off that erupts in brutality and
violence.

"George A. Romero is an undisputed cinematic legend, and we're honored to be bringing another installment of this incredible series of films to
horror fans," said Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles. "Survival is smart, extremely fun and a worthy addition to the Of the Dead franchise."

Says Romero, "I'm a big admirer of the team at Magnolia. They're creative and passionate, and I'm excited to put Survival in their
hands."

The deal was negotiated by Magnolia's Senior Vice President Tom Quinn with Victoria Cook for Cinetic Media, on behalf of Art Spigel and Ara
Katz of Artfire Films and Peter Grunwald of Romero-Grunwald Productions.
