The last time filmmaker Jim Jarmusch tackled the supernatural we got the beloved vampire tale “Only Lovers Left Alive”. Now, in his follow-up to 2016’s “Paterson,” he’s trying out a zombie comedy with a new film in that field that will hopefully be unlike anything else of the kind and potentially refresh the overtired genre. Jarmusch regulars like Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Tom Waits and Steve Buscemi are all here, as are Caleb Landry Jones and Selena Gomez. Daniel Craig was linked but it’s uncertain if he’s still going to appear. With Focus to release the film, expect a potential Cannes bow.

Focus Features and Universal Pictures International have announced a June 14th release date for celebrated “Only Lovers Left Alive” and “Paterson” filmmaker Jim Jarmusch‘s new zombie film “The Dead Don’t Die”.


Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, Iggy Pop, Sara Driver, RZA, Selena Gomez, Carol Kane and Tom Waits all star in the release.

Plot specifics, however, are under wraps beyond it being dubbed ‘the greatest zombie cast ever disassembled’. A Cannes premiere seems almost certain at this point for the film which Joshua Astrachan and Carter Logan produced.
