A24 Closes Deal for Zombie Rom-Com Life After Beth

The romantic zombie movie, written by Baena (I Heart Huckabees), stars DeHaan a a teenager who gets a second chance to connect with his dead girlfriend when she comes back to life.

It premiered at the Library Theatre on January 19th as part of the festival’s U.S. Dramatic Competition. Although A24 will release the movie theatrically, there is also a DirecTV component to the deal where the satellite provider will be able to show the movie exclusively for thirty days before any theatrical release, something it’s been doing with other movies such as Diablo Cody’s recent Paradise.
