Night of the Living Dead in Public Domain
This is pretty old news. But I learned not to long ago that NOTLD - the original - fell into the public domain. I've heard it was due to a legal fluke and a simple error on Romero's part. A number of site have some fairly controversial re-edits out there. The Survivor's Cut is the one that most people look at with utter contempt or adore.
Does anyone have any links to Romero's opinion on re-edits and re-releases of his movie?
One one hand, it was his creation. A brilliant work of art that launched a thousand ships so to speak. Part of me sees it as tragic - and the re-makes as blasphemy.
But another part of me thinks that fans getting the opportunity to create their own edits and share them - like fan fiction - is kinda neat.
So I'm torn.
