  • Movies NOW and MNX to premiere zombie comedy ‘Little Monsters’

    Mumbai: Movies NOW and MNX are all set to bring the Indian television premiere of zombie comedy film “Little Monsters” on 27 June, Sunday, at 1pm and 9pm. Starring the Academy Award-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o in the lead role, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019.

Nyong’o plays Miss Caroline, the teacher, who teams up to save the children from a zombie apocalypse.

    Also starring Alexander England, Kat Stewart, Diesel La Torraca, and Josh Gad, the film is dedicated to Forsythe’s son Spike, whose first day of kindergarten inspired parts of the story. Spike also appears as a ‘school kid zombie’ in the film.
