Twenty years ago, the worldwide release of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ changed my life forever. Its reception since then has continued to be incredible, largely due to the passionate fans who have championed it with cricket bats aloft. Now, as we celebrate its bloody 20th anniversary with a brand-new Dolby Atmos and Vision remastered version, I’m beyond excited for everyone to experience it once again on the big screen—the way it was always meant to be seen: large, loud, and with quite a lot of red on it.
Shaun of the Dead director and co-writer Edgar Wright
Focus Features also released an all-new 20th anniversary trailer (below). Shaun of the Dead first arrived in theaters in 2004 and quickly become a cultural horror-comedy phenomenon. The film was directed by Edgar Wright and co-written by Wright and Simon Pegg, who also stars alongside Nick Frost.
Universal Pictures International will re-release Shaun of the Dead in cinemas in the UK and Eire from September 27th, available in Dolby Cinema and Dolby Atmos. Check local listings for participating Dolby Cinema at AMC locations and showtimes.
