“The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.” An all-timer classic! Focus Features has unveiled a brand new official trailer for the 20th anniversary re-release of the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead written and directed by Edgar Wright. This was a huge indie hit back in 2004 – it opened in April in the UK, then in September in the US, earning an impressive $13.5 million at the US box office that fall. It also launched Wright’s filmmaking career, and the rest is history. “It’s a screamingly hilarious zomedy that will have you dying with laughter.” Shaun is a salesman whose life has no direction. However, his uneventful life takes a sudden turn when he has to singlehandedly deal with an entire horde of zombies. Starring Simon Pegg as Shaun, Nick Frost as Ed, Kate Ashfield, Lucy Davis, Bill Nighy, Dylan Moran, Penelope Wilton, Jessica Stevenson, Peter Serafinowicz, & Rafe Spall. This re-release features a remastered version of the horror comedy, and it will be playing again in Dolby cinemas around the country soon. Enjoy.
Here’s the new 20th Anniversary trailer for Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, direct from YouTube:
“Twenty years ago, the worldwide release of Shaun of the Dead changed my life forever. Its reception since then has continued to be incredible, largely due to the passionate fans who have championed it with cricket bats aloft. Now, as we celebrate its bloody 20th anniversary with a brand-new Dolby Atmos and Vision remastered version, I’m beyond excited for everyone to experience it once again on the big screen—the way it was always meant to be seen: large, loud, and with quite a lot of red on it.” –Director Edgar Wright
