Prepare for an exciting cinematic experience this summer as Shin’ichirô Ueda‘s renowned zombie film, “One Cut of the Dead,” gets a thrilling French makeover in the form of “Final Cut,” directed by Academy Award winner Michel Hazanavicius. Set to hit theaters in the United States on July 14, 2023, courtesy of Kino Lorber, this remake is set to captivate audiences with its unique take on the original material.

In the meantime, you can catch a glimpse of the action-packed world of “Final Cut” by watching Kino Lorber’s official trailer, provided up here.

Michel Hazanavicius, an esteemed Oscar® winner, lends his directorial prowess to this reimagining of the cult hit, “One Cut of the Dead.” The story revolves around a director, portrayed by Romain Duris (known for his role in “L’Auberge Espagnole”), who is tasked with creating a live, single-take, low-budget zombie film. However, as the production progresses, an unexpected twist occurs—each member of the cast and crew gradually transforms into actual zombies, setting the stage for a gripping and darkly comedic tale.

The film boasts an exceptional ensemble cast, with Oscar® nominee Bérénice Bejo (famous for her role in “The Artist”), Matilda Lutz (known for “Revenge”), and Finnegan Oldfield (renowned for “Corsage”) delivering brilliantly over-the-top performances.

“Final Cut” is described as a clever homage to the art of filmmaking, skillfully blending blood-soaked thrills with uproarious genre comedy, all wrapped within a meta-laden narrative. Kino Lorber, in their press release, guarantees an unforgettable experience that pays tribute to the craft of cinema while delivering a hilarious and adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster ride.

Get ready to be swept away by “Final Cut,” where the magic of filmmaking collides with the macabre, leaving audiences craving for more.
