Zombieland

That was a great zombie flick. Dare I say I liked it more than Shawn of the Dead.

I think it was a funner movie than Shaun but for me Shaun has the slight edge.

Forget A Zombieland Sequel: Writers Have 12 Films Planned
By Meredith Woerner, 2:59 PM on Tue Oct 6 2009

Zombieland was supposed to be a TV show on CBS. But when the network ditched the series — the fools! — Zombieland was made into a movie. Leaving tons of material for sequels. Which the writers revealed to us.

We spoke with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick all about the long journey this zombie epic made from television to film. We learned what changed, and how many more zombie movies these two guys have in their brains.

How much did the film change over the years?

Rhett Reese: It's surprisingly similar, interestingly. It underwent multiple devolopment experiences. We wrote it as a TV pilot and sold it to CBS, and they had a lot of notes, which we addressed. And then when they decided to not make the pilot we unaddressed a lot of them. We went back to what we had, because we liked it more. In most cases. In a few cases we kept what they added because they did have some good notes.

Paul Wernick: Interestingly the last bit of the movie is essentially episode two of the TV show.

Rhett Reese: When we decided to expand into a feature we took what we thought supposed to be episode two and we plugged it in. And the big change that we made when it became a movie was that Ruben [Fleischer] our director wanted to set the third act at an amusement park. Originally it was set as a big huge fight at a gas station. But it's awfully similar strangely.

Paul Wernick: Strangely and wonderfully.

Is there a Zombieland 2 in the works?

Rhett Reese: We don't know it all depends on how the first one does. So grab your friends, and make them cast their vote for Zombieland 2 by buying a ticket to Zombieland 1.

Paul Wernick: We've got some really fun ideas. And interestingly the last day of the movie, Woody told us that, "I generally never go back to a world, I don't love sequels, but this is one I would be honored to do." So pending the movie doing well and everyone being excited and loving it. As we hope they will, we'd love to do it.

Rhett Reese: And we'll take what we intended to be episode three of the television show and start movie number two.

Paul Wernick: We got a 23 episode season in our head. So divided by two that's about 12 movies in our head swimming around.

So that's Woody and Jessie Eisenberg tld us he was interested as well, let's make it happen! I wouldn't mind Zombieland 1, 2, and 3 at least.

Zombielands should be the new SAW...Saw sucks, but ZOMBIELANDS would be awesome

12 movies! Got dayum!
I could definintly go for a sequal, hell I want to see the first one again and that's rare for me to want to see the same movie twice in a short amount of time

 

[Morbach]

Yeah, the last time I saw a movie more than once and wanted to was TDK. But I would go see this again.

 

[King Darkness]

Awesome movie.
I won't spoil it, but the house they decide to stay at, was a hilarious part of the movie lol Pretty cool they did that.

 

[Entropy]

Great film and one of the best Zombie flicks made. I'll have to watch Shaun again to see which I prefer, but right now I'm giving the edge to Zombieland.

 

[Mr. Fusion]

Just saw the movie yesterday. It was hilarious. I am also debating on whether Shaun of the Dead was better... I don't know. I'll definitely have to see it again.

 

[dwing]

Saya and I enjoyed it more than Saun of the dead. Movie was great.

 

[The Ringer]

I'm on the boat for this over shaun too.

 

[The ill Jedi]

This movie still F'N ROCKS!!!

 

[Mesa]

I picked this up from Red Box tonight, but busy watching lost, not sure if I'll be able to see it tonight or not. Should I hold off on Lost?

 

[Darth Waller]

This movie still F'N ROCKS!!!

Yessir!

I'll get it on DVD when it reaches my video rental store's 10 dollar bin. They clean the DVD of scratches before they sell em. So they are like new. Better than spending 20-30 bucks when they come out brand new. All I have to do is wait a month.

 

[Mesa]

So I just finished watching it. I REALLY liked it. My have to try and own this movie.

Is it just me, or does the lead character (not Woody) remind you of Michael Cera? I'm sure this has been brought up before.
