‘Zombieland 2’ is Official With Director Ruben Fleischer and All Stars Returning; Set for 2019 Release!
Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have recently been teasing that a sequel to 2009’s Zombieland was *probably* happening at some point, and they even recently noted that they hoped to get the sequel done and released in time for the first film’s 10th anniversary in 2019. Well folks, Zombieland 2 is finally official, we’ve learned tonight!
Deadline reports that Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg and Abigail Breslin have all signed on to reprise their roles, with Ruben Fleischer back in the director’s chair!
Wernick and Reese are also back to write the script.
The film will begin production January 2019 and has an October 2019 release date.
In Zombieland 2, “through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, the Zombie slayers must face off against many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.”
Gavin Polone returns as producer, with Reese and Wernick executive producing.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
