‘Zombieland 2’ Promises to Have Blood Flying in Your Face
It has already been revealed that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are hard at working penning a sequel to their smash hit zombedy Zombieland that will bring Ruben Fleischer back to the director’s chair for zombies in 3-D. A new video interview with the writing duo was posted online today where they reveal some big plans for the 3-D elements in Zombieland 2. Read on for the skinny.
With Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg confirmed to be returning, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick explain that they want to create a larger family.
“We want to stick with our dysfunctional family,” Wernick told MTV in the below interview. “But also introduce new characters.”
“We entirely want to write with 3-D in mind,” Wernick added. “We have the vision, and want to have fun with the technology…”
“We want you to be looking down at your popcorn to make sure there isn’t blood on it,” Reese said laughingly. “There will be a lot of fluids flying!”
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
