DID YOU KNOW?

Zombieland: Double Tap took 10 years to make. So what did it take so long to get Zombieland's follow-up alive and kicking? Well, Jesse Eisenberg has revealed that the 10-year hold-up was because the writing team wanted to find the right idea for a sequel. Actually, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick did not want an immediate sequel. Although Zombieland's fans were game for a sequel from the get-go. But the reason behind the delay was the writers were involved with other writing projects such as Deadpool and Venom. In fact, Reese and Wernick only announced in February 2016 they will write the sequel. And in August 2016, they started to officially work on the sequel along with Woody Harrelson. Eventually, the script for Zombieland 2 was completed in March 2017 and the pre-production started in July of the same year. Its filming began on January 2019 and primary production finished in March. And the much-awaited release will be on October 18, 2019, which is the 10th anniversary of the original film's release.

The film director's Ruben Fleischer claims the sequel will match the real-life gap between the two movies. So don't expect the characters Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock to be exactly the same as we left them. Interestingly, the film's creators want to make the film into an enduring franchise. Even star Emma Stone wants to make new Zombieland sequels every 10 years for the foreseeable future. That sounds amazing, right? Although we don't know if it is viable. But before that, you might as well watch Zombieland: Double Tap full movie first.
