Bill Murray and Zombie films go together… well like zombies and brains, and without one, there will be no other.
And that’s exactly what we get with the brand new, first trailer for the new zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die has arrived, and it’s pretty great. Of course the zombie movie genre is well-trodden territory, but the cast of this new film from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch is what may set it apart.
The film stars a long list of huge names, including Bill Murry, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Tilda Swinton, Danny Glover, Rosie Perez, and Caleb Landry Jones, along with singers Iggy Pop, RZA, Selena Gomez, and Tom Waits.
From the looks of the new trailer, it seems The Dead Don’t Die will poke fun at zombie movies and break the fourth wall, and it’ll be interesting to see what such a strong ensemble cast can deliver.
The movie’s description says it features the “greatest zombie cast ever disassembled.
The trailer is a who’s who of favorite Jarmusch actors from his decades of filmmaking, including Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Tom Waits, Tilda Swinton (swinging a katana and sporting an Irish accent), Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Carol Kane, Danny Glover, rapper RZA, and Iggy Pop.
It looks like Jarmusch is taking a rare meta approach to zombie comedy, with characters who are fully aware of the existence and reputation of zombies, as opposed to characters who have to spend half the movie denying that the living dead could exist
This feels closer to Zombieland than it does to any past Jarmusch film.
The Dead Don’t Die hits theatres on June 14. Jarmusch, who previously made Dead Man starring Johnny Depp, is writing and directing The Dead Don’t Die.
