Zombieland 2

[bassman]

It’s strange to hear that it’s been nearly a decade since the group went on their zombie-infested, cross-country search for Twinkies, but now it looks like they’re going to have another trip: http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/zomb...al-cast-136-02 We’re going on the tenth anniversary of Zombieland," Wernick told Vulture while speaking with the entertainment outlet. "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." Hmm, this idea is starting to sound a bit suspect, is it not? After all, the words "may be" do not instill as much confidence as the words "will be," amiright? “The hope is that we’re shooting that thing early 2019 for an October of ’19 release,” Wernick continued, then followed up his statement with a tantalizing notion that is sure to get fans of the original's blood pumping: “With the original cast, by the way.” While none of the above statements signal a concrete "yes" or "no" about the project, it comforts me to know that Wernick also said “We are sitting on information that we can’t entirely share at this moment, but we can just say we think fans of Zombieland who have been hoping for a Zombieland 2, that we will grant their wish very, very soon.” I don’t recall ever seeing the short-lived spinoff TV series. Were those the same characters played by different actors?

I don’t recall ever seeing the short-lived spinoff TV series. Were those the same characters played by different actors? Yeah, same characters, different actors - which really hampered it IMHO. It never got beyond a pilot. I recall it being okay, but they should have just gone with different characters in the same universe. Not having those actors playing those roles was a big sticking point. Despite the 'runners' in Zombieland, I really enjoyed it. I was also very impressed by the way the film could so deftly pivot from genuine drama and emotion back to comedy. I saw it in the cinema and everyone was blown away - big laughs for the gags, shock and surprise at the dramatic moments.

I still get a little lump in my throat toward the end when Tallahassee is surround in that hut and that Morricone-like music plays. I believe on the commentary the director says they titled that track “The Ecstasy of Blood”, after the track from Good, Bad, and Ugly.

I remember seeing it for the first time in the cinema and I genuinely thought they were gonna kill Tallahassee and, liking the character so much, that had me right on-edge! Dripping with 'last stand' drama, that scene. Must watch Zombieland again some time, it's been quite a while since I last saw it.

Just a rumor at this point, but there’s a report that principal photography has already been completed and test screenings are about to take place?? http://www.joblo.com/horror-movies/n...-in-secret-309 They also say the current title for the film is Zombieland: Double Tap.

Nice! Dig the title, too. It was fun watching the original again the other day. It was nice seeing that now quite familiar stretch of motorway with the sunken grass divider again - as seen on a few occasions in TWD (e.g. Season 2, Season 7).

Whaaaaaaat? TWD and Zombieland were both filmed in Georgia and used similar stretches of highway in the same city, if not the very same stretch. Highway 20 in Hampton, near Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Interesting. That is pretty cool.

Many moons ago I’d posted pictures from various Zombieland and TWD season 1/2 locations, but I can’t recall if that highway was one of them. I doubt I’d even be able to find them at this point, actually....
