‘The Dead Don’t Die’ Trailer: Watch Bill Murray and Adam Driver F*ck Up Zombies!
My second favorite horror film of 2014 was Jim Jarmusch‘s masterful vampire love story, Only Lovers Left Alive, which boasted astounding performances by both Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston. Next up, the director is taking on the zombie subgenre with The Dead Don’t Die, which is being billed as “the greatest zombie cast ever disassembled.” They aren’t joking.
Focus Features dropped the first trailer for the film starring Adam Driver (“Girls”, Star Wars), Bill Murray (Zombieland, Ghostbusters) and Chloë Sevigny (Zodiac) as local police officers who slaughter the undead. It’s clearly a comedy, but it thankfully doesn’t hold back from the violence.
The film also reteams Jarmusch with his Only Lovers Left Alive star Tilda Swinton (Suspiria), with Selena Gomez (Aftershock, Hotel Transylvania), Steve Buscemi (Fargo, Reservoir Dogs), Austin Butler (The Intruders), Danny Glover (Saw), Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out, Antiviral), Rosie Perez (Birds of Prey), Iggy Pop (“Ash vs. Evil Dead”, Suck), Sara Driver, RZA, Selena Gomez, Carol Kane and Tom Waits.
Jarmusch’s zombie film is being released by Focus Features on June 14.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
