So, we held ourselves to a really high standard as far as making sure that, if we were going to make a sequel, that it be at least as good, if not better, than the original." "We all have so much love for the original. Fleischer had this to say about making a sequel. Director Ruben Fleischer says that they had a tough time coming up with the right storyline because they wanted to step up and do something different from the first installment. The first movie quickly gained a cult audience who were begging for a sequel only a few years after it hit theaters. Zombieland: Double Tap took a long time to come together. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family. In the sequel, written by Reese, Wernick, and Dave Callaham, through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, these four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. Rosario Dawson, Zoey Deutch, Thomas Middleditch and Luke Wilson join the original cast in the sequel, along with that hoped-for Bill Murray cameo.Ī decade after Zombieland became a hit film and a cult classic, the lead cast ( Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone) have reunited with director Ruben Fleischer ( Venom) and the original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick ( Deadpool) for Zombieland: Double Tap. But this time, the zombies are crazier and they receive some help, though it might not be the kind of help they were hoping for.
The gang is back and doing what they know how to do best, which is poking fun at each other and kill zombies.
As for the latest Zombieland: Double Tap trailer itself, it's full of footage we've seen, mixed in with some new action and NSFW jokes including one about President Bill Clinton.
