We’ve talked previously about the Cuban take on ‘Shaun of the Dead’ style Anti-Zombie comedy before here on the ZRC blog. Well, now it’s going global:

While no North American distribution has been picked up yet fans of the undead in both Japan and the UK are going to be happy soon as Juan of the Dead has gotten distribution setup! In Great Britain you are going to be seeing a release of the film that’s Cuba’s first zombie film by Metrodome and Fine Films have nabbed the Japanese distribution rights. North American rights are still in discussion but there is no solid evidence of that being finalized yet.

Not that I’m encouraging people to see this thing, but it’s worth noting that if DVD releases follow, it’s trivial to watch a Region 2 Disc in the US. Region-free players are readily available, and there are.. methods.. to remove region restrictions entirely. Obviously the ZRC only suggests doing so with a copy of the film you legally own.

At any rate, we’ll be keeping an eye out for this one in the States as part of our quest to monitor Anti-Zombiism around the globe.
