Kino Lorber has acquired all US rights to Michel Hazanavicius’s zombie comedy Final Cut starring Romain Duris and Bérénice Bejo.
The distributor will release the film theatrically this summer followed by a digital and home video release on all major platforms.
A remake of Shin’ichirô Ueda’s 2017 cult hit One Cut Of The Dead,Final Cut received its world premiere as the opening night selection in Cannes last year and has screened at Sitges and Fantastic Fest.

Final Cut is produced by Getaway Films and La Classe Américaine with SK Global Entertainment and BlueLight, and co-produced by France 2 Cinéma and Gaga Corporation. Kino lorber senior vice president Wendy Lidell brokered the deal with Eva Diederix of Wild Bunch International.
“I’m absolutely delighted that my movie Final Cut is being released in the US, and so proud to be working with Kino Lorber,” said Hazanavicius. “I love American audiences – I’ve always found them very happy to laugh! So, enjoy the show, guys!”
