Exclusive Announcement for Horror Fans
Milla Jovovich, the iconic star of the Resident Evil series, is set to make her highly-anticipated return to the zombie genre in Twilight of the Dead.

George A. Romero’s Vision Lives On
Twilight of the Dead is hailed as the seventh and final installment of Romero’s classic Living Dead saga.
Before his death in 2017, Romero crafted the initial treatment for this film, intending it as the conclusive chapter of his groundbreaking horror journey. To bring this vision to life, the George A. Romero estate has teamed up with Roundtable Entertainment, an L.A.-based financier and producer.
Set for 2025 Production, with AFM Debut
Production for Twilight of the Dead is slated to kick off in March 2025, with Fortitude International showcasing the project at the upcoming American Film Market.

A New Take on Humanity and Horror
