‘The Dead Don’t Die’ Clip Tells You How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse
Jim Jarmusch’s star-studded zombie comedyThe Dead Don’t Dieremains an enigma. Despite featuring Jarmusch’s usual players, it looks unlike any other film theOnly Lovers Left Alivedirector has made so far. Jarmusch has dabbled in comedy plenty of times, but has he ever gone this silly? Or is the marketing for this movie deceiving us all, and there’s more than meets the eye here? I don’t know, but thisDead Don’t Dieclip is suitably goofy, and advises you how to survive a zombie apocalypse.
The Dead Don’t Die Clip
Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, Iggy Pop, Sara Driver, RZA, Selena Gomez, Carol Kane, Austin Butler, Luka Sabbat, and Tom Waits all star inThe Dead Don’t Die, which looks like it has the potential to be everyone’s favorite new movie based on the cast alone. But beyond that big list of names, and the fact that the story involves zombies, we still don’t know a whole lot about the film.
Perhaps we don’t have to. Perhaps the presence of Adam Driver wearing glasses and cutting off zombie heads is enough to draw in an audience. I know it has my attention.
All that said, this clip is…not great. Don’t get me wrong: I love the idea of all these talented people together in one movie. But when I watch the clip above, all I can think of isZombieland.And no offense toZombieland, but I think Jim Jarmusch can do a lot better. I remain convinced Jarmusch and company are hiding something bigger, and grander, with this film. Or maybe they all just wanted to have fun and be in a big, goofy zombie movie.
