At first glance, Jim Jarmusch does't seem like the typical person to direct a zombie comedy, but when you see THE DEAD DON'T DIE you realize the director's style and distinct sense of humor are actually quite suited for the genre. In the film, Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Chloe Sevigny plays small-town cops who have to come to terms with the fact the zombie apocalypse has begun. How they deal with that reality, in their own laconic way, is at the center of the movie's absurd point-of-view.

JoBlo.com was invited to talk with Driver and Sevigny (no Bill, unfortunately) about working together and with Jarmusch, who from the cast would be the best zombie killer, and which death scene in the film is their favorite. (WARNING: DRIVER SPOILS A CHARACTER'S DEATH!)
