Everybody welcome back beloved Horror maestro and chief Gremlin wrangler Joe Dante in this the first trailer for rom-zom-com Burying the Ex, staring Ashley Greene.

The film follows Max (Anton Yelchin), an all-around nice guy, and his overbearing but incredibly beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (Ashley 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 it’s time to call it quits, but there’s just one problem: he’s 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 his soul mate. But that same night, Evelyn returns from the grave as a dirt-smeared Zombie and she’s determined to live happily ever after with Max… even if that means turning him into one of the undead.

It sounds a little brotastic but here’s hoping Dante can wrangle some pointed off-kilter fun from proceedings – Burying the Ex is released 19th June stateside.
