Night of the Living Dead (2012 film)

The page was proposed for deletion. Author removed the notice indicating that he objected. Article does not meet criteria for notability for films and especially for future, incomplete and undistributed films. No indication at all of notability in the text. Only citation is to the production company's announcement of their intent to remake the classic 1968 film in 3D. Web search found no mentions other than repeats of that announcement in blogs. Article is not encyclopedic. DocTree (talk) 07:06, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: It looks like it's been semi-retitled Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection. I'll try seeing what sources I can find under this title.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:36, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Different director... so I'm not sure if it's supposed to be the same film or not, but it looks like it. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I will say though, there appears to be more than enough sources for the Resurrection remake to have it pass WP:NFF at this point in time. If no one has an issue with it, I'd like to revamp this article to focus on the movie that's actually releasing in 2012. To be honest, most of what I'm seeing for Stevenson is that he'd like to make the film and that production was set to start in October, but nothing to show that production actually started. Considering that another film he was working on at the time (Last Broadcast) was suffering from severe setbacks about the time he was stating he wanted to remake NOTLD, I'm thinking that this film is probably suffering from the same issues. I know that this doesn't automatically mean the film isn't going to be made or that it isn't in production, but this usually ends up being the case. I'm thinking that the Stevenson film would be best served as a mention on the main article page for the NOTLD movies and if/when his remake actually sees the light of day, it can have an article for itself.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The horror-movies.ca link above gives Matt Cloude as the name of the director of Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection. IMDb has yet another name: James Plumb . Is there any reliable source? Without an RS, this is all speculation we should not report on. --Lambiam 14:05, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * "NOTLD - Resurrection" and "NOTLD (2012 film)" are NOT same. "Resurrection" was actually produced in the UK and a USA distribution agreement has been signed.  "(2012 film)" might be produced someday in the future by a group calling themselves House of Blood Productions http://www.houseofbloodproduction.com/ in Vermont, USA.

 * Delete In searches combining the purported production house "Loyal's House of Blood Production" and the title "Night of the Living Dead", the only things I can find are sources speaking about the project being announced in June 2011 on the production's own website for a planned October 2012 release, and a lite smattering of blog traffic. Considering the popularity of the original film, you'd almost expect that there would be more. But nope. I'd love to be prove wrong, but best evidence shows this topic failing WP:NFF for being unreleased, and WP:NF for lack of coverage or verifiability. Even IF it can be determined that the non-3D, and otherwise sourcable film Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection has a relationship to this 2011 "announcement", we can still scrap the WP:SPS-sourced "announcement" stub and build a new article on the new and deserving title in any case.

 * Delete. This nonexistent and may-never-exist film lacks coverage from reliable, secondary sources. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:12, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
