Merrick here...


This should've been posted yesterday, but I got tieed up prepping an AVATAR piece for next week. In short: Clint over at MovieHole spoke with ZOMBIELAND director Ruben Fleischer about whether or not we might get a sequel.

I had the chance to chat to “Zombieland” director Ruben Fleischer yesterday, who confirmed Sony are very interested in a “Zombieland” sequel. And he’s ready to go. The original cast – Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone & Abigail Breslin – are also ready to slap another coffin dodger with the, er, ‘rule’ book. In other words, unless the events of "2012" come true... we'll be seeing a sequel in a couple of years.
But the most interesting development? Fleischer says the next film will likely be 3-D - yep, mother-hopping three-dimensional Woody vs. Zombie action!!

It should be noted that sequel shenanigans at Sony seem to be odd. Shortly after its release, we learned that some sort of DISTRICT 9 follow-up was in the wind - although now we're hearing that possibility is looking less likely. Conversely, we were once told a sequel to HANCOCK was maybe/kinda/sorta possible (but a long ways off) - a few months later we heard writers had been assigned to the film. In other words, who knows what'll happen with more ZOMBIELAND.
