Bill Murray is coming up against the zombie apocalypse in Jim Jarmuschโs star studded horror comedy The Dead Donโt Die. Set in small town America, Murrayโs sheriff finds himself in the middle of a zombie uprising and must band together with the remaining townsfolk to figure out what the fuck is going.
If the trailer is anything to go by this film looks like a lot of fun, with Murrayโs deadpan Chief Cliff Robinson joined by Adam Driverโs Officer Ronald Peterson and Chloรซ Sevignyโs unnamed policewoman as they try and stop the undead hordes. The always entertaining Tilda Swinton pops up as a samurai welding Scottish morgue employee while musicians Tom Waits and Iggy Pop appear as a hermit and zombie respectively. The stacked cast also includes Selena Gomez, Danny Glover, Steve Buscemi, Rosie Perez and the Wu-Tangโs RZA.
This isnโt the first time Jarmusch has directed a film about the undead, with the auteurโs excellent 2013 flick Only Lovers Left Alive focusing on a pair of vampires. The Dead Donโt Die also finds the sporadic director reuniting with many actors heโs previously worked with and appears to be an entertaining take on the zombie genre that might rival Shaun Of The Dead for best horror comedy of the 00s.
