In July 1975, distributor Joseph Brenner announced that he would be co-producing tne new film from George A. Romero, and that it would be filming shortly. Brenner was known primarily as a distributor of horror movies, and in the 19790s he was carving out a special niche for himself within the genre as the American distributor of Italian horror films. But he was starting to branch out into production. In October of that year, he took out a full page ad in Variety announcing the full slate of releases from Joseph Brenner Associates, Inc.

In 1975, a new feature film production was announced in the trades called Blood. It was a vampire movie to be written and directed by George Romero, and produced by Joseph Brenner Associates.* It would have been filmed in early 1976, but nothing would come of it in that form.
