MGM Acquiring Worldwide Rights To ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ Sequel Directed By ‘Nanny’s Nikyatu Jusu

Nanny is Nikyatu Jusu's only feature (written/directed) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10931784/
It's African folklore drama. Because it's labelled "horror" stupid kids who saw it review bombed it. Proper reviews are 6-7.

She's not writing this one so it may not be as political are her previous work.

Amazon’s MGM division is in final negotiations to acquire worldwide rights to the Night of the Living Dead sequel that Nikyatu Jusu (Nanny) is directing for Village Roadshow Pictures, Vertigo Entertainment, Westbrook, Origin Story and the late George A. Romero’s Sanibel Films.

While specifics as to the financials haven’t been disclosed, we understand that the deal has emerged from a highly competitive situation. The Walking Dead‘s LaToya Morgan scripted the film we were first to report on, which will be released by MGM theatrically.

Night of the Living Dead is Jusu’s second project with Amazon on the heels of her feature directorial debut, Nanny, which this year became the first horror film to win Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize, with Jusu at the same time becoming just the second Black female filmmaker to claim the award. That film, following the Senegalese immigrant nanny Aisha (Anna Diop) as she attempts to piece together a new life in New York City, while caring for the child of an Upper East Side family, was released theatrically through Amazon on November 23rd and debuts globally on Prime Video on Friday, December 16.
