His latest project is described as a “zombie romantic comedy” about what happens when a deceased ex-girlfriend rises from the dead and expects her relationship with her boyfriend to continue as normal. BURYING THE EX follows Max (Anton Yelchin), an all-around nice guy, and his overbearing but incredibly beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (Ashely Greene).
Their relationship takes a nosedive after they decide to move in together and Evelyn turns out to be a controlling, manipulative nightmare. Max realizes its time to call it quits, but theres just one problem: hes too afraid to break up with her. Fate steps in when Evelyn is involved in a freak accident and dies, leaving Max single and ready to mingle.
Several weeks later, he has a chance encounter with Olivia (Alexandra Daddario), a cute and spirited girl who just might be hissoul mate. But that same night, Evelyn returns from the grave as a dirt-smeared Zombie and shes determined to live happily ever after with Max …even if that means turning him into one of the undead.
The film is holding its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
