We had musings about what a “Jim Jarmusch zombie movie” might be and, we’ve got to say, thankfully, the trailer for The Dead Don’t Die hits pretty close to what we’re expecting.

Great looks and quips from Bill Murray, a samurai sword wiedling Tilda Swinton, a down-to-earth Adam Driver doing his best, Iggy Pop as a zombie, and, of course, a great soundtrack has our appetite whetted even further.

Get a look for yourself here, then mark your calendars for June 14th when The Dead Don’t Die hits theaters.

The Jim Jarmusch Bill Murray Zombie Movie “The Dead Don’t Die” Is Coming to Theaters on June 14th

Other than it’s a Jim Jarmusch zombie movie with Bill Murray and a cast including “…Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, Iggy Pop, Sara Driver, RZA, Selena Gomez, Carol Kane, and Tom Waits,” there are few details as to what this might be story-wise or tonally.

However, based off Jarmusch’s last foray into the undead, Only Lovers Left Alive, that was a beautifully dark romantic comedy that happened to follow vampires, we’re going to guess that this might be in the ballpark (maybe even in the same cinematic universe, a Jarmusch-verse)? The playfulness in the title even feels like a follow-up/spiritual sequel to Only Lovers Left Alive.

In any case, expect gorgeous cinematography, a great soundtrack, and plenty of Bill Murray’s signature wry look relatively soon on Jun. 14th.

Tickets are $10 per screening and you can (and should) buy them here.

If Santa Ana is a bit of trip for you, there will be a free screening of Mystery Train at Nerdmelt this Thursday.

Amazon’s Next Movie Will Be a Jim Jarmusch Comedy Starring Adam Driver

Amazon knows how to hit those indie buzz names.

Though typically it’s a few years before we get the next Jim Jarmusch movie, it’s kind of worth it.

2013 had the fantastic dark vampire wry romantic comedy Only Lovers Left Alive and 2016 promises his next film Paterson with Adam Driver starring.

It’s coming out through Amazon Studios and it’s going to be a wry comedy (that’s kind of Jarmusch’s thing in case you weren’t familiar) and that’s about all we know right now.

Still, you can let your imagination conjure up what a Jarmusch movie with Driver in it might be and still be wildly and delightfully surprised and what we’ll end up getting.

Sundance’s Next Fest to Screen ‘Life After Beth’, ‘Listen Up Philip’, and more

Sundance has a small weekend, long film festival here in LA called Sundance Next Fest combining indie film and music. So far, they’ve got plenty of comedies line-up including Life After Beth, Napoleon Dynamite, Jim Jarmusch’s A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and Listen Up Philip.

Coupled with that is musical performances from Father John Misty, Warpaint, and Tinashe. Also, you’ll get to enjoy Next Fest at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and the theatre at the Ace Hotel in Downtown LA.

Sounds pretty cool to us, so we think you should make plans for the weekend of Aug. 7th-Aug. 10th and should get your tickets.

If You Only See One Movie with Vampires, See Only Lovers Left Alive

Jim Jarmusch’s latest work Only Lovers Left Alive is the vampire movie for those who hate pretty much all vampire movies (anything from Dracula from 1992 to Twilight, etc.). In a way, it’s a beautiful dark romantic comedy featuring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston in amazing roles that you had wish that you had seen them in before. This very well may be Jarmusch’s best film to date.

Also, for those of you that can’t stand watching horror, there is scarcely a terrifying moment. It’s playing in LA at ArcLight Hollywood and The Landmark and we highly suggest you go watch several times over.
