Idiocracy’s Luke Wilson joins Zombieland: Double Tap

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Ruben Fleischer's ZOMBIELAND 2: DOUBLE TAP is all set to see the return of ZOMBIELAND stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. They will be joined by the likes of Rosario Dawson, Zoey Deutch, Thomas Middleditch, Avan Jogia, and MAYBE Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd too. And today we've learned that Luke Wilson (see above in IDIOCRACY) has joined the cast as well. It’s unknown who Wilson will be playing in the flick, but it's all good as the movie is currently filming and so, hopefully, we can expect to see some footage sooner rather than later. Or at least a few stills. Fingers crossed. 

I like Wilson as both Mike Judge's IDIOCRACY and Todd Phillips's OLD SCHOOL are two of my favorite comedies. Hell, he's better than his brother Owen. Am I kidding? Who knows! All I know is that Wilson will make a great addition to this movie. Keep it up, guys! 

The post-apocalyptic zombie comedy is written by original ZOMBIELAND and DEADPOOL scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese and centers on 

The comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland. The zombie slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. Most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

Original ZOMBIELAND director Ruben Fleischer returns to helm and is re-teaming with original writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (DEADPOOL 2). Gavin Polone produces and Reese and Wernick will also executive produce. Lauren Abrahams will oversee the project for the studio. The sequel is already in production for release on October 11, 2019 –- the 10th anniversary of the first film. You can snag a copy of the original on Blu-ray HERE.
