Burying The Ex - D: Joe Dante - using crowdfunding

Joe Dante is world renowned for directing such classic films as Gremlins 1 and 2, The Burbs, Innerspace, Looney Toons: Back in Action, and Small Soldiers. Now you get to help him make his next masterpiece Burying The Ex!

Burying The Ex follows Max (YELCHIN), an all-around nice guy, and his overbearing but incredibly beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (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, 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 get Max back...even if that means turning him into one of the undead!

Filming is currently under way and looking spectacular, but we need your contributions to help edit the film, add breathtaking visual effects, and get this film in theaters so you can see it on the big screen. Check out the epic list of rewards we are offering, and remember, the more your contribute the better the reward.
I don't really understand why they need funding when they're already shooting. And it doesn't explain why either.

They're probably overbudget or want to add effects and/or sequences that would exceed their budget.

I figured as much... but usually when they do these things they explain the reason for it.

It saddens me that Joe Dante has to crowdfund, but whatever keep him working.

Duh. I posted it and skimmed right over that part.

Dvdtalk members would probably help them exceed $50 million in additional funding if the extra funds got Alexandra Daddario to go topless for a few scenes.
