One of the best horror-comedies of the past few years has been director Ruben Fleischer's ZOMBIELAND. The film is a blast and the cast including Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, and Bill Murray make it all the more fun in the gory sun. And if you're a fan of the original film, like me, then you'll be excited to hear that it looks like ZOMBIELAND 2 is coming our way sooner than later – and with the original cast!
Yes, today the original film's writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick chatted with Vulture and dropped the news that ZOMBIELAND 2 will be shooting soon for an October 2019 release.
Wernick:
Zombieland came out October of 2009. We don’t know what you get someone for their tenth anniversary, but it may be a Zombieland 2.
He then added:
The hope is that we’re shooting that thing early 2019 for an October of ’19 release. With the original cast, by the way.
Woo-Hoo! Yeah, it seems like with the original film gathering more and more fans over the years – plus the fact that the film's screenwriters have since hit the mucho big-time with their DEADPOOL movies – we might finally be seeing the dead rise, and then get laughed, at yet again come Halloween 2019.
