The first dead-icated employment scheme of its kind in the UK starts on 18th October 2019, coinciding with the release of Zombieland: Double Tap.

 

 

London, October 2019 – Cineworld, the UK’s leading cinema chain, has today announced the introduction of a zombie employment scheme across 12 of its cinemas in the UK and Ireland. Launching this month, the scheme has been created by Cineworld in a bid to engage the zombie community.

Following a ghouling selection process, trial shifts will take place on the evening of 18th October, coinciding with one of the most anticipated film releases this month, Zombieland: Double Tap, starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin.

 

During the trial shifts, each zombie will be tasked with a multitude of jobs, from serving customers drinks and snacks at concession stands to checking tickets and fulfilling cleaning duties.
