Storyline
In the small town of Centerville, the citizens have to face a… plague of living dead. When Earth deviates from its axis… ugly things happen.
The Movie The Dead Don’t Die (2019)
Jim Jarmusch´s usual irony, with the sardonic touch added by Bill Murray. A movie inside a movie that laughs at itself. It is still just a zombie movie, okay… but this is entertaining and it has its political and social satire.
The movie is an apparent amusement that is rather heavy handed with a much deeper irony. Lots of dark humor (lots and lots). It...

Some performers just seem to have that indescribable "it factor" -- and when it comes to Adam Driver, boy, does he have it. After gaining prominence in a lead role in the HBO hit series "Girls," Driver has catapulted to superstardom. Driver established himself as an actor who likes to take risks and work with all kinds of unique creators, and that's something that's remained key to his success.
The breadth of Driver's work is undeniably impressive. He's done everything from taut political thrillers to voice work to massive blockbusters, never once compromising on his talent. There are a lot of impressive movies in Driver's filmography (not to mention multiple Oscar nominations and several other accolades), and he has built up a career that most could only dream of. But what are his very best films? Well, that's what we're here for. Let's dive into the 15 best Adam Driver movies,...

The Dead Don’t Die is the latest feature from director Jim Jarmusch and stars a gigantic cast list of Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Selena Gomez, Tilda Swinton and RZA, to name just a few. The film follows three police officers of Chief Cliff Robertson (Murray), Officer Ronnie Peterson (Driver) and Officer Mindy Morrison (Chloë Sevigny) in the peaceful middle American town of Centerville, of which finds itself and the characters battling an onslaught of a Zombie invasion.
Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die, on a very surface level approach, is equivalent to that of Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead. A sweeping comedic venture into the genre of horror.

When strange, deadly things begin happening in the quiet, peaceful community of Centerville in Jim Jarmusch's horror-comedy The Dead Don't Die, local law enforcement officials are flummoxed, to say the least. Sheriff Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray) and his deputies, including the loyal Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver), can clearly see that abnormal, disturbing things are happening - things they could never have imagined before, especially in their quiet little town. So, in our exclusive...

Every few years, a movie redefines a genre – let’s be clear, The Dead Don’t Die does not, nor will ever, do that for the “zom com”. Despite boasting what may be the best cast ever assembled for an indie film, writer/director Jim Jarmusch squanders any such opportunity and delivers a film more than deserving of a Razzie than anything else.
Set in Centerville, a town of 738, Jarmusch seems hell bent on introducing as many characters as possible in the film’s sparse 105 minutes. The result? Paper-thin characters that do little to advance or make sense of the plot – Zelda (Tilda Swinton), the strange new samurai-wielding undertaker, Zoe (Selena Gomez) and her “hipster” friends, and three children locked up in the local juvenile detention are just a few examples. Hermit Bob (Tom Waits), a townie who lives in the woods, serves as a pseudo-narrator for reasons still unknown.

Jim Jarmusch lets us know right off the bat that The Dead Don’T Die, his take on the zombie genre is not to be taken seriously. It plays the film’s irreverent title song (by Sturgill Simpson) over the opening credits. Minutes later the song is playing in the squad car of Police Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray), prompting him to wonder why it sounds so familiar. “It’s the film’s theme song,” his deputy Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver) matter-of-factly replies, in the first of several meta moments (mostly delivered by Driver) that include references to the script and “Jim”, the director. There have been zombie comedies before, but Jarmusch puts the ‘dead’ in ‘deadpan’ with The Dead Don’T Die, a quirky zombie parody featuring what’s justifiably been billed as ‘the greatest cast ever assembled for a zombie film’: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton,...

Sturgill Simpson issued a twangy new tune “The Dead Don’t Die,” previewing Jim Jarmusch‘s upcoming zombie comedy of the same name. The breezy number serves as theme song for the film, which stars Bill Murray and Adam Driver.
A snippet from the track highlights a scene following policemen Cliff Robertson (Murray) and Ronnie Peterson (Driver) as they patrol their town of Centerville in a police cruiser. Peterson flips through “civilian radio” stations and lands upon the song, which finds Simpson musing on death in a non-zombie way: “The...

Jim Jarmusch’s comic deadpan seems ideally suited to the zombie genre. So who better than this indie hipster, who’s been an avatar of cool from Stranger Than Paradise to Paterson, to take a stroll with the walking dead? Having tackled vampires in high style with 2013’s Only Lovers Left Alive, the undead are a logical next step. And yet The Dead Don’t Die, which opened the Cannes Film Festival with a whimper last month, feels like a pale facsimile of Jarmusch. There are a few lovely, random...

Oh, Jim. I didn’t have high expectations exactly, but at least some expectations, including that of being entertained and humming a few good tunes while watching some fine actors doing what they do best. Aside from producing the occasional smile, Jim Jarmusch’s Cannes opener (geddit?) The Dead Don’t Die did not live up to any of those expectations.
Jarmusch often sets a fairly languorous pace in his films, but there is a big difference between languor and sluggishness. Scenes clunk from one to another, while lines are spoken in similar fashion. Bill Murray seems to be making no attempt to enter into any kind of character other than the Murray persona we have known and loved for decades.
Murray plays local chief of police, Cliff Robertson, in a sleepy rural town. His deputies are independent gal Mindy Morrison (Chloe Sevigny) and eternal pessimist Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver...

Jim Jarmusch’s recent preoccupation with life at the end of the world (and the cultural decay that comes with it) arrives at an amusingly literal conclusion in “The Dead Don’t Die,” a sluggish but knowing zombie comedy that rearranges the bones of “The Night of the Living Dead” into a resigned lament for a society on the brink of collapse. And while exhuming George Romero’s metaphor-heavy corpus might seem like too obvious a choice in our current age of smart phones and stupid presidents, this (un)deadpan apocalypse makes that obviousness the point.
We all know — to quote a line from the film — that “Nothing is happening normally right now,” but it’s hard not to be paralyzed by the absurdity of it all. If Jarmusch’s latest often feels as though it lacks a pulse, this star-studded parable is held together by one consistent truth: When Hell is full,...
