Consider me surprised by the deadpan sense of comedic humor Jim Jarmusch is aiming for here, at least judging by the just-released trailer for his upcoming “The Dead Don’t Die.”
The movie has a dream cast which includes Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Selena Gomez, Tom Waits, and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, among many more.
Jarmusch is coming off having released his 2016 masterpiece “Paterson,” it seems like the writer-director has decided to go a little less serious here, albeit in a very deadpan manner, by reuniting with close friends and making a zombie comedy. Nothing wrong with that.
Jarmusch has had 11 movies debut at the Cannes Film Festival, I bet “The Dead Don’t Die” will premiere there again at next month’s edition of the festival.
“The Dead Don’t Die” is heading into theaters on June 14th.
