‘Juan of the Dead’ Ready to Kick Cuba’s Arse!
La Zanfoña Producciones- Spain, Producciones de la 5ta Avenida – Cuba in association with Latinofusion – Mexico is proud to present the most entertaining movie ever made in Cuba since the 1985 animated film “Vampires in Havana”: Juan of the Dead!
The movie budget is 1,3 million euros and shooting starts next September.
Quiet Earth translated the synopsis available online: “Juan is a typical slacker forty years. One day Havana begins to fill with zombies. John decides that the best way to cope with it is to prosper. “John of the dead, killed their loved ones” is his slogan, and its mission is to help people get rid of those infected around them … for a price. But the situation gets worse, and while everyone is out to sea to get away, John is left with no choice but to become a hero, staying to defend their country and protect their own on an island turned into a real bloodbath.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
