[Story here.](http://ihorror.com/nearly-10-minutes-of-never-before-seen-night-of-the-living-dead-footage-has-been-found/)

So Romero intended this footage to be in the movie, but the distributor cut it. I wonder if it can somehow be saved from public domain, so Romero can get some well-deserved money from one of the greatest movies ever made.

I hope he releases a ‘director’s cut’ with this extra stuff in it.

I always felt sorry for the guy for not making the insane money from that movie that he should have. On the other hand, I also wonder if it would have achieved the mad cult status it has if it hadn’t been public domain.

Sure would like to see the footage, though.

Still couldn’t be as bad as the 30th Anniversary Edition With New Footage That Doesn’t Match The Old Footage And Is In Fact Kind Of Dumb…
