A few months ago Image Entertainment picked up Joe Dante’s BURYING THE EX and were planning a VOD/limited theatrical release sometime in the summer. Well, now we know exactly when to expect Dante's latest, which is set for a VOD debut on June 19th. In the film, Max's regrets over moving in with his girlfriend are compounded after she dies and comes back as a zombie. It's a very LIFE AFTER BETH kind of setup, so it'll be interesting to see what a guy like Dante does with such a premise.
BURYING THE EX follows…
…Max (Yelchin), an all-around nice guy, and his overbearing but incredibly beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (Greene). Their relationship takes a nosedive after they decide to move in together and Evelyn turns out to be a controlling, manipulative nightmare. Max knows it’s time to call it quits, but there’s just one problem: he’s terrified of breaking up with her. Fate steps in when Evelyn is involved in a freak accident and dies, leaving Max single and ready to mingle. Max eventually meets Olivia (Daddario), a cute and spirited girl who just might be his soul mate, only to learn that Evelyn has risen from her grave and is determined to get her boyfriend back…even if that means turning him into one of the undead.
BURYING THE EX stars Anton Yelchin, Alexandra Daddario and Ashley Greene. It was was produced by Scooty Woop Entertainment’s Mary Cybriwsky and Frankie Lindquist, Carl Effenson, David Johnson, Kyle Tekiela and Trezza.
