Last month we happily told you that the Cuban zombie blockbuster Juan of the Dead on DVD and now IT GETS BETTER! Outsider Pictures has picked up the rights to the film on the big screen! There isn’t much word on when we’ll actually be seeing it on the big screen. Unless you are in Miami International Film Festival, which runs March 2–11, 2012 and will have this first theatrical screening.
Juan is a typical forty-year-old slacker. One day Havana begins to fill up with zombies. Juan decides that the best way to cope with it is to prosper. “Juan of the dead killed their loved ones” is his slogan, and his mission is to help people get rid of those infected around them … for a price. But the situation gets worse — while everyone is escaping to sea as a means to get away, Juan is left with no choice but to become a hero, staying to defend his country and protect his own on an island that has turned into a real bloodbath.
