Ya, Romero was executive producer on Savini's night, he also wrote the script, which is why it's considered part of the universe. It was really more of an update then a remake. It's practically the same shot-for-shot.

Just FYI folks, about anyone can do a spin off or remake of Night as it is public domain. Romero doesn't make a penny of any of the spin offs and remakes (as they are all based upon public domain material). That's why the guy is on hard times, living with his girl in Toronto. He'll joke about it and has a great attitude about it, but he got screwed out of an empire, no doubt about it.

He's a super nice guy. Keep the above in mind if you ever go to a horror con and balk at his autograph fees.
