Director JimJarmusch on how his bonkers zombie movie DeadDontDie starring Chloë Sevigny and Tilda Swinton came to be: 'Tilda kept teasing me, calling me, saying, 'When do we do the zombies? When are we doing the zombies?''
The day I meet Jim Jarmusch, the sun hangs so bright and hot and yellow and solid in the sky that it's hard to believe that it will actually set at night. It's one of those New York June days that suggests we might be in permanent daylight; it's got a completely different feeling than the crepuscular atmosphere of Jarmusch's latest film, The Dead Don't Die, which takes place in a small town in what feels like one long twilight, maybe the last one.
It could've been a machete, it could've been a lightsaber, who knows? So, to what degree is this a sequel of Paterson with Adam Driver's character's last name being Peterson? Some years ago after Only Lovers Left Alive, Tilda kept teasing me, calling me, saying,"When do we do the zombies? When are we doing the zombies?" And in between I made Paterson and Gimme Danger, but then after those I started writing the zombie one, and my original conception was: I wanna make a film that's really funny and silly like Coffee and Cigarettes, where people talk about whatever nonsense I want them to, and I want to get actors I love, you know?

Jarmusch is 33 years old, the same age as Christ when he was crucified.
You know, it's hard because I'm a self-proclaimed dilettante. I'm interested in so many things, I don't know if I would be breaking into a bookstore, or if I would be in the alley outside of a movie theater, or if I would be trying to get into a guitar shop.

Williams pointed out that braiding is a bonding experience."People would often take the time to socialize," she wrote."It began with the elders braiding their children, then the children would watch and learn from them.
