Fans have been begging for a sequel since the moment Zombieland premiered. It’s taken ten years, but it seems that the film may finally be on it’s way.
So, I’m sure you are asking “Could it get any better?” Well, it gets better. Not only is the movie in the works, reportedly, Ruben Fleischer will be returning to direct (according to Bloody-Disgusting). As for the cast, it seems that Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin will be returning as well.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool) gave an update on where the sequel stands.
It is [in active development]. We’re trying to get it going. All of our cast have read the script and love it. Ruben [Fleischer] is signed on. It’s just a matter of making our cast deals and making it for a budget number. All the cast have become superstars now so, we made Zombieland with 20 million, so it’s trying to fit that financial model into the sequel model so it makes sense for the studio and being able to pay the actors what they now get paid and deserve to paid.
We see [Sony Pictures chairman] Tom Rothman pretty frequently now and we’re pestering that dude. He’s like, ‘Please, enough with the Zombieland talk!’ We’re pestering him the way we pestered Fox on Deadpool. We’re not letting it go. We really want to see Zombieland 2.
I don’t know about you, but I would love to see Zombieland 2! We will keep you posted.
