Joe Dante may not be the most prolific director in the world, but with works such as GREMLINS, SMALL SOLDIERS, and INNERSPACE to his name, his new films still get us excited. His latest film BURYING THE EX, recently premièred at the Venice Film Festival, and has just been picked up for distribution in the US. Image Entertainment has acquired all US rights, and according to Mark Ward, the Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for the Image brands (that’s a mouthful), they couldn’t be happier:
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with legendary filmmaker Joe Dante. He brings a unique vision and style to BURYING THE EX. We are confident that his fans and the genre community will embrace the film.
The film stars Anton Yelchin as one half of a darling couple, who soon discovers his girlfriend (Ashley Greene), is a bit possessive and controlling once they move in together. After an accident releases him from her grasp, the much lovelier Alexandra Daddario fills the role of girlfriend. However, Greene is one ex-girlfriend who won’t let anything get in her way, not even death.
Sounding as though it’s got the right mix of comedy and horror, BURYING THE EX is set to be released in the summer of this year.
