Night of the Living Dead
Date : 1968
Cast : Duane Jones as Ben: The lead role of Ben was played by unknown stage actor Duane Jones.
His performance depicted Ben as a "comparatively calm and resourceful Negro" (in real life, a distinguished gentleman and former university professor), according to a movie reviewer in 1969.
Despite his other film roles, Jones worried that people only recognized him as Ben.
Official film adaptations of Matheson's novel appeared in 1964 as The Last Man on Earth (1964 film), in 1971 as The Omega Man, and the 2007 release I Am Legend (film).
Matheson was not impressed by Romero's interpretation, feeling that "It was ...
